According to reviewers, the Toro CCR 2450 GTS is a good compromise if you need something more powerful than an electric snow blower, but don't want to spend $1,000 on a more efficient self-propelled, two-stage snow blower such as the Craftsman 88999 (Discontinued). The Toro 2450 GTS uses a single-stage gas engine, so you'll need to mix gas and oil. Several owners complain of fumes from the engine, but several note that the emissions are typical of single-stage gas engines. All the owner reviews we found compliment the Toro snow blower for its performance, and several say that for the three or four times a year they use it, it's a great value.
ConsumerReports.org includes the Toro CCR 2450 GTS in its tests, comparing its performance to five other single-stage gas snow blowers. We also found a good sampling of owner-written reviews at Epinions, Amazon.com and AbbysGuide.com, which give good insight.

Only a handful of reviewers have rated the Toro CCR 2450 at Amazon.com, but they are all positive. One owner likes that it's not self-propelled -- meaning he can go faster if he wants to.

The owners here like their Toro snow blowers and appreciate the compact size of the 2450 GTS model. One says it's great for his slate sidewalks. However, another says the engine fumes aren't pleasant.
