4.0 out of 5 stars Works on the electric TrimmerPlus too, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Ryobi ST720R TrimmerPlus Add-on Snow Thrower (Lawn & Patio)

I own the electric Ryobi TrimmerPlus 132r and wanted to go with all non-gas for the power tools in my small yard. The first year I had my house I stuck with my trusty snow shovel. Unfortunately, 40 inches dumped on us over two days last year and the novelty of getting excercise by shovel wore thin pretty quick. Despite it not being recommended for the electric trimmer, I bought the snow thrower anyway.

My recollection of electric snow throwers in the past led me to believe they were no less work than a shovel. The TrimmerPlus snow thrower with the electric trimmer head has worked great. It has handled all the kinds of snow I've tried it with. Its single-stage design allows it to move (but not quite throw) super wet snow and even standing water.

Electrically, the trimmer head is well insulated but due to the amount of moisture involved in throwing snow, a GCFI outlet or extension cord is an absolute necessity. I've never been shocked even with the unit quite wet, but why take chances?

I would have given it 5 stars, but the adjustable chute is somewhat hard to use and doesn't affect the direction of throw very much.

I used this attachment for 1 winter. Couldnt afford a big thrower. It worked well but I would only recommend it if you live in an area that doesnt receive a lot of heavy snows. I replaced it with a 4.5 hp snow thrower but only because of the heavy winters that we have.

I've owned this for several years and it really throws the snow. Two years ago, we had about 6 inches of snow about every other night and this cleared it great. It's not the fastest because of the width but for areas that get limited snowfall, this is a great low cost alternative that really works.
