It just arrived today and was easy to assemble, started on fist pull and really blasted the dirt from my driveway. I would give it 5 stars except for the hose connections. They both are close to the wheel and keep getting caught on it.Perhaps Westinghouse engineers could make a 90 degree retro-fit kit to allow the hoses to attach from the back instead of the right side, and send one to every registered user. How 'bout it Westinghouse?
