Worthwhile!

I enjoyed this build. If has some clever design features, like the wheel that allows the 'snow' to fall out the back of the truck. It does tend to bind up a bit though. This doesn't bother me because I bought this for my Lego City, so it will be more of a display piece anyway. Also, no stickers. It comes with 6 printed pieces. Fun!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This build has a lot jam packed into it. A sturdy plow that can be moved up and down and left and right. A cab that tilts. The salt spreading function.
Which brings me to my complaint about this set. The salt spreader relies on friction with the rear wheel rubber to rotate the spreader.
This in turn causes the rear wheels to not roll freely.
Ever.
Even if you're not spreading salt, this truck doesn't roll.
Lego should have implemented an axle on the rear wheels with a simple mechanism of using a gear to rotate the drum instead. There's room to do it. I think I'll be making a MOC modification so that the truck can roll freely AND spread salt.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Jammed

The mechanism that spreads the 1x1 round plates jammed. I can't even get the plow to move it is so jammed up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy - Imaan, LEGO® Customer Service, January 5, 2026
We’re sorry to hear that the spreading mechanism on your Snowplow set isn’t working properly, that’s definitely not the building experience we want for you. Sometimes pieces can shift during building, which can cause mechanisms to jam. Reach out to our experts via LEGO.build/Service-BV and they can help look into this and make sure your set works as intended. We hope you’re still able to enjoy building and playing with your Snowplow and Happy new year!
