Excellent product for the price
I was in the market for a snowblower and found this one at Sears online. I could not be more pleased with the performance. While we do get some rough winters this one will cut right through even the deeper snow and do a great job. The only down side, and this would not deter me from buying another one, is some of the parts are plastic. My driveway is about 30 feet long, and I also have a sidewalk and it throws the snow about 30 feet with ease. Excellent purchase!

Two out of three years with new carburetor
I have owned this snowblower for three years. At the end of year 1, I followed the instructions in the owner's manual for off-season storage. I pulled it out to test it at the beginning of the next winter. Won't start. Fine...still under warranty. Needed a new carburetor. Following the repair, it worked fine for year 2. Followed owners manual instructions for off-season storage. Just this past weekend, I took it out for a test. Won't start. Just heard from the repair center. Needs a new carburetor. AGAIN. Apparently, they don't stand behind their repair from last year because now I am expected to pay for the same repair two years in a row. I have also had problems with my Craftsman lawn mower. This will be the last Craftsman product I ever buy. I would recommend that you find a different brand.

love it

Bought this for large driveway in Chicago suburbs. Works great and is easy to use. I am 5'5 140 lbs and I can manuever it like a champ! Quickly moved snow both this year and last, and have had zero problems. Easy to start by just plugging it in, and good on gas. Very happy I purchased it :)

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Worked Perfect All Winter.

We got pounded with snow this winter in Minnesota and thankfully I had this snowblower! It started easily, and preformed as described every use. Saved my back and let me sleep in longer. If you pay for a service to plow this pays for itself very quickly. The only negative is the mechanism to turn the blower nozzle; it sucks!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Gets the job done right

Design is perfect. This machine has power and can cut through some deep snow. It is fast if you want it to be, but I'd never run it on max speed as it moves. Awesome one push electric start comes in handy. Easy to pull start as well. This baby will last a long time.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Don't Waste Your Money / Not Dependable

This machine merits no stars. I bought this a little over one year ago.  The one time I needed it the engine would not start with either the electric starter of the pull cord.  It is a very expensive unused piece of junk in my garage.  Don't watse your money on this machine.

It's a great machine

I have been using this machine for a full season, and have no complaints. It starts up everytime and does what it advertises. the hand crank for the discharge is a bit of a hassle but it's not a fault of the design or manufacture, it's just a lower cost option. It's handled Connecticut snow without difficulty. It only bogs down when I'm in slush at the end of the driveway (which is what your should expect from this size engine)

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Sadly I think I got a defective snow blower

Brought this in November and have nothing but trouble with this snow blower...chute came short of 1 clip which cause it to keep falling off, wish I could return it.

The Right Stuff

What a relief to have this snow thrower! We live on a mountaintop farm in Virginia, elevation above 3300 feet, where the weather is rough. This is our third winter using it, and it even handles snow with layers of sleet and freezing rain in it. This machine cleans the 100 yards to our barn with ease. Even though I also use it on a gravel driveway (with the front elevated about 2 inches) and the occasional stone will get pulled through, the blades still look like new. Just remember to drain your gas at the end of winter or run it until you run out of gas. Don't buy gas with ethanol in it--it gums up the carburetor. And change your spark plug every year--or get someone to do it. As a woman with two partial rotator cuff tears in my right shoulder, I find it relatively easy to use and maneuver. The self-propulsion feature takes it right up even 35 degree slopes. I've recommended this model to several friends!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
