Received in good order. Fairly easy to assemble. But, like most reviewers mentioned, the pins to the chute were a tad difficult. Eventually, our son helped and got them in. Actually, we haven't used it to remove snow yet, but we will try it out tomorrow when we are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow.
I was dreading assembling the snow blower, but I had a pleasant surprise when I opened the package. It was basically fully assembled. The instructions for the minor assembling needed were quite clear. I haven't used it yet. If you're new to the snow blower game, like me, I think this product is pretty user friendly after reading the user manual.
