Just received mine a few days ago and assembled it today. Plugged it in to the required and correct rating of extension cord and ran it a few minutes. It is not winter in my region as of yet but im sure this will work great on my pathways with up to 100 feet of the proper cordage. It is not meant to chew through ice so I have the kids do that one. I am very pleased with how lightweight it is and the quality of the build for this class of product. I can't wait to put it to use next month. Thanks a bunch for continued quality all these years Westinghouse.
Assembly was super easy. The machine seems well built and sturdy. No snow yet, but this seems powerful enough to handle most of what we will get in central New York.
