Hello all,
I know it's a little bit early to think about snow, but some parts of North America has seen those little white flakes already on September 9. Anyways, there are two new interesting models from Honda and Toro that may fulfill your wish of more power and convenience features.
The first one is a Honda. As many of you know, Honda makes good performing snowblowers. But Honda has been very slow to update their SS with more power and features that the competition already has for years! But that has changed. Rip Van Winkle has awaken. The Honda HS720 is now available in the US. This models sports a bigger 190cc (was 160cc) engine and now is available with remote chute and deflector controls. I emphasize a
remote deflector control!!! Wooo Hooo!!!! Of course, electric start is always available. Just saw this baby at Home Depot today. Honda went big this year. Looks serious and purposeful. Here the link.

The second one is a Toro. Some of us already seen this as a Toro 721R with a 212cc engine. This model was released last year as a bare bones commercial model without the homeowner frills and thrills. However, this year, we see the much wished convenience of remote quick chute and zip deflector added as a homeowner model 721QZE. Here's the link.
Toro 721QZESurprisingly, the Toro is actually more expensive than the Honda. So stop complaining Honda is expensive. :) Also, the Honda is made in North Carolina, designed by an US engineer. :)
