Bought after snowstorm left 2 in of snow topped with ice. As a 65 year old with back issues, decided I needed a snow blower. Snow is rare here, so I didn't want a 2 cycle or gas model. 3 years since last snow. Gas models would have bad seals, bad gas etc. Searched electric models and this one had great reviews. Snow still on ground after a week Rained this morning. Snow was turned into heavy slush. After unboxing, assembly was straight forward. No instructions needed. Unit ate thru the slush with no bogging down. Threw it about 6-10 ft. Not bad for heavy slush. Will need a fresh snow for full trial, but am confident this will meet my needs
I've only had one opportunity to use it so far. It was on snow about 10" deep and had been a few day after the storm. It worked better than I thought it would. Very pleased with the results.
I just received the snow blower and expected to have to assemble it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that assembly consists of taking the unit out of the box, unfolding the handle, and attaching the chute adjuster rod. Now that I’ve done one, I could have another ready to go to work in less than 10 minutes.
The case of the unit, wheels, and the chute are made of plastic. The handle, chute adjustment rod, and auger blades are made of steel. The auger blades have a thick rubber strip attached to the steel blade with Phillips screws, washers, and lock nuts. I hope the fasteners are stainless steel and that you can get replacement rubber strips when needed. There is a 6-LED light strip attached the front of the case near the base of the chute to help if you find yourself clearing snow in low-light conditions.
I haven’t had a chance to use it in snow yet, but that opportunity may come early tomorrow morning. This unit clears an 18 inch wide path in snow up to 10 inches thick. That should do well for the snows we get in my area. If you live where you often get snow significantly deeper than 10 inches, this is not the unit for you.
