Tear through heavy snow drifts and packed end-of-driveway ice in record time with the Toro® SnowMaster® 824 QXE 24" Inline Two-Stage Hybrid Gas Snow Blower (Model 36003). Combining the fast maneuverability of a single-stage unit with the raw power of a two-stage snow thrower, the SnowMaster 824 QXE features an efficient inline rotor design driven by a high-torque 252 cc Toro® Premium 4-Cycle OHV Engine. Capable of processing up to an impressive 2,800 lbs of snow per minute, this ultra-maneuverable machine clears a 24-inch wide by 18-inch deep path and blasts snow up to 40 feet away.
Built for effortless operation, the 36003 features Toro’s intuitive Personal Pace® Self-Propel System, which automatically senses and matches your walking speed while providing maximum rear-wheel traction across all snow conditions. The innovative Quick Stick® Chute Control lets you adjust both the 210° chute rotation and deflector pitch in one seamless, single-handed movement. Equipped with automatic steering for effortless zero-turn maneuvering around obstacles, a tall auger housing with a beveled chute, and a space-saving footprint, the Toro SnowMaster 824 QXE is backed by Toro's 3-Year Limited Warranty and a Lifetime Guaranteed Chute Warranty.
Note: Features 120V electric start alongside recoil backup. Recommended for paved asphalt and concrete driveways (holds up to 12 cars). For optimal performance, use 87+ octane non-ethanol gasoline (less than 30 days old) with fuel stabilizer. Do not mix oil with gas. Uses standard 5W-30 engine oil.
