Great video. I was the fellow that asked you on the last video if the 418 would compliment my 826 toro. Thanks for letting me see what this machine can do. It's a pretty good little machine but it seems to take a while to complete a job. I live in the Toronto, Ontario area. The 418 costs $399 for non-electric start and $499 electric start. The entry level toro 621r model costs $559. Seems like the 621 might be a better choice but it's so big and I'm not sure if I could fit it in my garage.
@joeraptor1 yes, it depends if you gonna use it commercially or just for your own driveway, for a personal driveway i'd get the 418, cus when it can't handle it the 826 would take over, but the 621 is a do it all, kinda snowblower, that can handle the 12 inch plus stuff, and handle the 1 inch stuff. I fit both a 418 and a 621 under my stairs in the garage. remember that driveway in the video is a big driveway,plus the sidewalk around the whole place. if i had to have only 1, it would be the 621
@poisedonis Thanks for the advice. Do you think the 621 can handle the stuff the plow leaves at the end of the driveway? I could look at getting the 621 and selling the 826 but that would be hard to do as I love the machine. You got your units at Home Depot. Do they still have that policy of beating the lowest price by 10%. They want $439 for the 418 but the local dealers sell it for $399. If I could get 10% off of that, I'd be able to pick up the 418 for $360.
@joeraptor1 the 621 can handle the end driveway stufff, but still the 826 would do it better, but i purposely do the end driveway stuff just to see how well it does. im not sure about home depots latest prices, but you can always try to get them to match, ,. do u have a big driveway?
@poisedonis I do my driveway plus my two neighbours while they spend the winter in Florida. My driveway and walkway is about 2500 sq feet. The other two driveways and walks are about 1200 sq. feet each. I saw a neat little single stage Craftsman at Sears today. Electric start, joystick control of the chute, 205 cc Briggs...$549 on sale. Definitely not the quality of toro but about $250 cheaper while on sale. Does the chute on that 621 come down like on the 418?
@joeraptor1 yes sears and canadian tire have some nice single stagers, the 621 chutes can go up and down with the blue handle,, but the chute itself needs to be unscrewed if u want to load it into the car, while the 418 chute can be removed easier with a screw knob.
u can get this type between 425 to 499,, but canadian tire has some models a bit cheaper, but the 418 is easier to fit into the car, tell your wife u need it as a christmas present.

@poisedonis Not too sure about the quality of the sears and canadian tire blowers though. You might save some money now but pay for it later on.

@joeraptor1 i know sears use to have good warranties, but not sure nowadays

poisedonis 2 months ago
@poisedonis Not really, only $5500 used. Put 3k miles on it so far. I still have the CBR250R as well. Gas mileage is night and day between the two.
