With 8 different speeds, 6 forward and 2 backward, you can easily adjust the thrower to clear light to heavy snowfall all over your property.

Good Deal
I had my mind made up to buy another brand but an online review of this snow blower caught my attention. Unfortunately it was way out of my price range. However, on Black Friday, it was priced right. The set up was very easy and it started on the very first pull. I had to wait a couple of weeks for the first snow but it did a good job. We had 4" of heavy wet snow and it had no problem with the apron of the driveway where the snow plow had gone through. The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars is because the reverse speed is very slow, even the 2nd speed. Other than that, this machine performs exactly as advertised.

Can not get to run right
I bought the unit in September. Finally got snow to try it in December. Unit goes about 40 feet and turns off. Sent it off to repair and got it back and it still does the same thing. Unit has not done more than half a driveway yet. All they want to do is send out for another 3 weeks to try and repair. Do not buy unit before you need or they will not replace it if outside the first 30 days. All Sears wants to do is say that I should have bought extended warrenttee, even though it is covered by original. They never want to talk about how it has not worked from the time it got cold enough. Very poor product and will not stand behind it.

Best snow blower in this price range
Starts easily, with either electric start or pull rope. Clears snow easily, throws snow at a good distance, and easy to operate.

Big Snow still Throw(s)
On occasion you'll come across a product that actually does what is advertise to do. This is one of those. We had very heavy snow recently, and lots of it. No problem, first pull start (I didn't need the electric start), and really pumped the snow out of the way. And, by the way, our local Sears hard lines manager was outstanding, we couldn't have asked for better customer service.

Great Snow Blower
No problems. Handled 7" wet snow with no clogs. Two foot snow plow snow pile on driveway was doable with multiple bites. Never bogged down or died.

Excellent product - recommended for purchase
I've only used this once otherwise I would rate it five stars. Here are my opinions: 1. Packaging: 4 stars. The machine was ruggedly packaged and was undamaged when I unpacked it. The wood used in the packing materials is very poorly machined so wear gloves or handle very carefully to avoid slivers. 2. Ease of assembly: 5 stars. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The put the machine together in a very short amount of time with no rework required to get it done right. 3. Starting: 5 stars. The machine starts easily without the electric start. The electric start works well. The controls for starting the machine are slightly obscured, but not difficult to work with. This is more of a nit which is why I didn't downgrade the rating. 4. Ease of use: 5 stars. I really like how all the operational controls are arranged. Everything is easily in reach and clearly labled. 5. Snow Blowing: 5 stars: after adjusting the skids the machine cleared my driveway very well.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Excellent Machine!!
I normally don't write reviews, but thought i would for once since they were real helpful in shopping for one. This one was easy to set up, started right up and just went through a foot of wet heavy snow with ease. I shopped for awhile for a two stage, this definately was the ********. Quality machine!!
I would recommend this product to a friend.
