    Surprisingly Good! December 15, 2007

    I just got this machine in time for the first big NH storm of the season. It made removing the snow from my driveway and walk a pleasure. It's designed for 4" of snow, but will handle a lot more if you work away at it. It's only 20lbs, so it's easy to lift. It throws snow like crazy straight ahead. When you adjust it to throw to the side, it will only throw a few feet. You need to use strategy to get a big job done, but it's not hard to do. The auger is plastic, so you won't be cutting through ice, but it appears to be very sturdy. That being said, if you put your mind to it , you could probably break it. While this blower is not going to take the place of a two stage gas model, I prefer it, because of how quiet it is and the fact that I can hang it on the wall or put it away in the basement for the Summer, without having it hog precious garage floor space. I believe that it's made in the USA. It has a two year warranty. The online reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Word on the street is that you will probably need to replace the plastic scraper and the drive belt at some point. I tried to order online, but had a nightmareish experience, so hunted one down in a Sears store.

    Cord plug size matters December 09, 2008

    I bought this in October after seeing the positive reviews. Now that we have some snow in Minnesota, I went out to try it for the first time. However, none of my extension cord plugs fit in the small protective cover. Something must fit, but I don't have the right one at home.

    Worked find the first time and never again. January 13, 2011
    By imbroglioj of Florence, MA

    We were happy with the way this worked on the first snowfall. We cleaned it and kept it in a closed-in porch. Three weeks later we got the second snowfall and it would not start. We checked the extension cord and different wall sockets. Either the ignition design is faulty or we got a lemon. Now my wife and I are arguing over replacing with the same unit (we got the Purchase Protect warranty) or demanding our money back and buying something more reliable for a few dollars more somewhere else. This unit is no bargain compared with larger, more powerful electric throwers.

    This is the worst thrower I ever bought. I used it once and it tripped circuits twice.

    Light in weight but works efficiently, big surprise June 25, 2009
    By Juniorjella of Brooklyn, NY

    I am 50 Plus, so you know shovelling is not a good thing. I purchased the Yard-man 8.5amp Electric Snow Thrower about 2 years ago and I haven't regretted. It maybe light in weight but very efficient when picking up snow. I just get a bit nervious about the electric part of it but I think just the thought of not having to remove that snow, takes care of that. Sound product!

    Great for average snow February 04, 2009
    By CEHE4KA of Philadelphia, PA

    Got one for my father who has back and knee problems. Was great to clean small driveway and sidewalk in few minutes without any back pain. Worked great on both fluffy and wet snow. The only complaint he had was that extension cord got in the way.
