What reviewers liked
Features include electric starting, a convenient control panel, and a powerful halogen headlight.
Ease of using the controls was very good.
The self-propelled system uses belt drives to pull the snow blower forward. You can shift between six forward speeds and two reverse speeds, which will significantly ease the burden of clearing snow over all types of terrain despite its weight and size.
The snow throwing chute is operated with a convenient crank by the handle, allowing you to throw snow anywhere within 200 degrees without stopping.
You’ll be able to push the snow out to areas up to 50 ft away in distance. You’ll also be able to easily guide this snow to any area of your yard that you’d like with the dispensing chute thanks to the 205 degree rotating remote chute control.
These also have an optional electronic fuel injected engine to conserve fuel and and deliver more consistent power.
What reviewers didn't like
For the price, we wish the engine had a little more get-up-and-go.
Requires the use of hearing protection.
However, because the throwing range is quite wide, this may be a difficult snow blower to use in tight residential areas.
Large amounts of heavy wet snow may stick
