This is a review of the Honda HS720. I just bought it the week before this video was made and wanted to give my initial impression of it. I used an HS520 and that was a great unit but got the itch once I became aware of the HS720.
You'll have to forgive the quality of the video due to running the camera (iPhone 6) and the snow blower with one hand each. Overall, I'd say it was a solid unit and works well. Later that evening, after the plows went by and the temps dropped, I went and finished the EOD (end of driveway) and was blown away by the torque this thing has. It sounded like it was eating bricks but was chewing up big boulders of hard packed and ice crusted snow with little effort and starts on the first pull. That's why I didn't opt for the electric start!It tracks straight, unlike some Toro 3650's I've owned.
If you have any questions, fire away.
Thanks!
