Walk behind blower

Anyone have a good one? Anyone have a bad one?

I have smaller size Toro. No complaints.
Craftsman 7.75 HP 27" walk behind bought in 2000 still starts first pull. Thought it time for a new one. Cub Cadet 30" three stage will blow into the opposite ditch on a country paved road. I live where we use and abuse snowblowers.
Simplicity 28" with 13hp
I have a Husqvarna 27" I call The Beast. It's actually getting too big and heavy for me to maneuver. Its fault is that it is geared too high. Anything other than the lowest two speeds is too fast for it to blow even powder snow. Too fast for me to keep up with, too.
Toro-Probably 30 years old. Electric start. Still running and does a great job.
I bought a Southland brand from Bomgaars several years ago on clearance. I believe it has a 6.5hp Chinese engine-208cc. It works well. I also have a Stihl magnum 800 back-pack blower that is better yet.
Same here we have one for at least 25 years plus it's never failed us, i have replaced the belts and a cable but still good to go
Getting ready to pull.it out and have ready for winter
Our Toro is not electric start, but she starts first pull. Very happy with the brand.
