Great Machine Easy start and run November 18, 2010
We had a tremendous winter 09-10 in southern PA near the Mason Dixon Line with three snowstorms that dumped between 24-30 inches each. This unit cut through the snow like it was butter. After 3 blizzards in one season I can say it was well worth the money. If it can handle a 30 inch snowfall on a large 60 foot driveway, it can handle anything a homeowner would throw at it.

Worked for two passes on my driveway, then threw a drive belt. February 26, 2010
I picked up the snowblower the day before our first big snowstorm of the year. It worked great for two passes on my driveway, then the belt that drives the augers broke and came through the plastic cowling that protects the drive belt assembly.
This an exception to my experiences with Sears products, but my back wishes the exception was with a toaster oven.

Two years of problem free snow removal, December 29, 2011
By Reded55
of Saginaw, Michigan
Purchased snow blower two years ago and have had no difficulty in starting it or running it. Works great with fluffy picture perfect snow but I was pleasantly surprised that it had enough oomph to push the wet heavy snow. Doesn't throw it as far as the light stuff but if you keep it going it will clear a sidewalk or driveway with out clogging. You stop and then you must manually clear the wet snow plug that forms in the chute.

Starting 3rd Year - Craftsman 28" Snow Thrower #88791 November 29, 2011
By JerseyPool
of Chesterfield, NJ
Pros:
Starts Easy,Throw Distance,One-Hand OperationGearing up for our 3rd winter in New Jersey. The past two gave us four huge snowstorms each year. We purchased this snow thrower the day after the first huge storm in December, '09. (Getting to the Sears Hardware store in an SUV was a lesson in futility in itself!) They had two machines remaining, a 26", and this 28". In the time we entered the store, in which there was only one other shopper and two salespersons, and the manager, the 26" was sold to the other shopper. We grabbed the 28" along with the cover, they helped us load it in our SUV, and we slowly drove back home.
We unloaded is out on our street in front of our house, I went and brought out some gas, and I started using it on our driveway. THIS THING IS SCARY-GOOD! It took a minute or two to get the hang of it, adjusting the speed and choke controls, but it cut through the snow like nobody's business. Blacktop on the first pass, and we're talking snow up to my thighs.
The other thing that comes to mind is that... it's... FUN to operate. Well, as fun as using a snowblower can possibly be. Throws snow far away, and using the throttle while operating it with one hand allows me to adjust the throw between my neighbor's house and my driveway, without stopping. Visually, it still looks brand new... have yet to shear a pin.
So anyways, it's December, 2011 now, and I just gave the unit an oil change today. With the new oil and a little fresh gas, it started right up again in preparation of Winter #3. I'm not quite sure of the original cost of this back in '09... it happened to be on sale when the snowstorm hit, and I'm guessing the price was in the $879 range... but I've used it with eight MAJOR snowstorms over two years, and I have to say that this was a fantastic investment. With yearly maintenance, looking forward to many, many more years of great use with my 28" Craftsman Snow Thrower.
