Steve, Maybe it was good that you returned your Honda. There is a gasoline leak recall on HS928 (looks like blower made prior to 2010 model) and other 2-staged blowers: | Model | Frame Serial Number |
|---|
| HS724 | SZBE-1037913 through 1046577 | | HS928 | SZAS-1151080 through 1169012 | | HS1132 | SZBF-1018734 through 1025998 |
I want to stay warm but not by burning down my blower. My 2010 model is not affected but it might be good to get your Honda checked out if your model/serial number fits the list. Stay warm! |

Maybe but at the time that wasn't a factor. I can afford a Honda but it just didn't work out for me. I'm a big guy 200 lbs. My wife is literally 83 lbs. She can use the Toro but not the Honda. She gave up on the Honda after a short while. Of course if it catches on fire that would be a really poor and costly way of removing snow.

Steve, Your wife maybe 83LB but she looks pretty tough and strong. She got some serious muscle and probably much stronger than me. Maybe I need Toro 1028 more than her. Yeah she loves to work out, she's down to just an hour a day 5 days a week now due to a lack of time. Still 200 lbs. of tracked snowblower isn't fun to muscle around in the snow even for her.
