First I would like to comment on Amazon's service. I ordered this on the afternoon of 4 Feb 10 based upon a predicted major winter storm that was to hit the mid-atlantic the next day. Amazon indicated that 1 day shipping was available. Being an amazon prime product, the 80+ pound snow thrower shipped overnight for $3.99. I left work early the next day due to the encroaching storm and was pleased to see the package waiting for me.

Since delivery, I was able to test out the thrower on the 24-30 inch snow storm that hit the east coast. Although, not a heavy duty thrower, this machine has stood up to every test I have thrown at it and performed wonderfully. The secret is to not let the snow build up more than 6-8 inches between each evolution. The blower starts incredibly easy with only one easy pull. It also has an electric start capability but it starts so easy I have only used the electric start the very first time. This winter storm really put it to the test because the snow was so wet and heavy, but the thrower met the challenge. Now we have the next winter storm bearing down on us tonight and tomorrow, but I know it will be up to the predicted 12-16 inch snow storm.

I gave this a four only because of my mistake - I should have gotten a self-propelled blower. It's easy to start, does what it's supposed to, but be prepared to put some muscle into pushing it, or dragging it up steeper inclines which I had to. It throws the snow about six feet at the most which didn't exactly thrill me, but it's still better than shoveling. I got to use in only once, so maybe next winter I'll find it more useful.
