Was on a business trip in March, and when I heard we received over 2 ft. of snow in my area I couldn't bare to shovel again.. I had enough! Well after reading some reviews and speaking to some friends I went with this machine. And so far so good! When I came home from my trip there was over 2ft of snow/ice/slush at the end of my driveway.. this is my 1st snow thrower and couldn't be happier. This machine chewed through it all. For the people that rated low.. I would suggest replacing it with another one.. chances are you just got a lemon.. it happens with products. But you can see from overall posts that you can't go wrong - best bang for the dollar.

I have this snow blower for the second year now. Last year I used it about three times and always had problems with the chute. This year I went to use for the first time and the Electric starter would not work. I called Sears and they said that they were backed up with their service and it would take a couple of weeks. I set a date and missed a day from work because they said that they would be here between 8 and 5 and that the service man would call to make sure that someone was at home. Well I received the call about 4:35 and I was in the shower when the service man called. I called Sears back at 4:40 and they said that I would have to reschedule. This would mean that I would have to miss another day of work. Usually the Craftsman products are good, but trying to get service for them is the worst experience ever.
For a 9 HP machine she just didn't have a lot of power. At the end of the fourth season she just died while using it. Couldn't pull the rope. I believe the piston connecting rod bolts have backed out or the connecting rod shaft broke.
My 2nd winter the same thing happened to me, the engine stalled after a few minutes. I had just put in new gas and suspected water. Sure enough, I drained the gas and bought some new from a different station. A couple pulls and she started right up. I have not had any starting issues since then. My advice, switch gas and use some stabilizer, It worked for me. Sherman

I bought it online and picked it up in the store. Process was great. I got it home and put it together out of the box. If was very easy. Two days later we had 4 inches of snow. I used the blower, it through snow great, controls were good. Chute direction should go further than it does, but I will get used to that. 3/4 done with my driveway and the speed control cable, metal end bent open. By inspecting it, the metal had caps in it, I assume just a defect, because I didn't see this in any other reviews. No big deal, I called to have it replaced and was bounced around between 3 or 4 customer service places. sears and sears.com are different. Finally, got to the right place and advised of the situation, I needed to have a supervisor agree to replace the part at no cost. She advised I would have if on 3/5. Well, as of today, no part. I called, was bounced around a little bit and finally found out that it is on backorder, I am now expecting it on 3/21. Additionally, the carb leaked a little, but not a big deal. I was ready to give 5/5 even after the part because the supervisor was great for the replacement. But then she gave me a date and the item didn't show up. Needless to say, even without the cable, the machine runs, but it is always in 6th gear, so I am running as well. :)
