Waste of effort and money

3 months ago
Bought a Troy built 3 stage 357 cc 28 inch blower a few years back. Im the laughing stock of the street because of of the extremely poor performance from this machine. If the outside air temp is warmer than minus 5C degrees, the machine turns doing my driveway into a painstakingly ordeal. Underpowered and a shoot that constantly gets blocked causes me to stop every 90 seconds to free snow so I can resume. Reverse speed is annoyingly slow, not sure if troy built put some kind of safety in their machine with reverse but common!! I'm be purchasing another machine next year and can't wait. Im so ashamed of this blower that I can't bare to sell it second hand to some unsuspecting person as I'd feel too guilty and may just discard a running machine to in recycling. 3 stage is absolute garbage!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Extremely Powerful

Not sure what the bad reviews are for, this thing is awesome. I clear our 10 unit townhouse complex, the local walking paths, the park, the skating rink in the park, the mail boxes and a 500 m by 6 m loop on our neighborhood pond in deep Yukon snow. It even eats 2.5 m tall piles of snow the neighbors shovel into one corner. I could see it clogging with wet snow if you push too fast, but I have yet to clog this thing. It doesn't throw snow far if there is barely anything on the ground, but once it gets a mouthful, oh boy!

This snowblower is JUNK!!!

3 years ago
I did the research and decided that this 3 stage 30" cut would be the answer to our wet snow, but I was wrong and I mean big time wrong!!! The first time I use it the cute blocked in the first minute and continued to do so until I cleared the driveway. After I got a silicone spray for the chute and wait for the next snow - the same as last - I spent as much time clearing the cute and the auger as it did clearing the driveway. I'm lucky because my driveway is only a double. Really, this is my third season with this blower and I can take it any more, Yesterday we had around 7 cm and this thing clogged up six times, absolute JUNK!! I don't know it its the centre cutter it to close to the impeller and it just blocks up along with the cute. Maybe its the design, if the centre cutter was offset maybe it would not block as much. in addition, it keeps popping out of reverse and now the plastic slots are getting smaller (that is a cheap way to hold gear shifter) as well it does not always go into reverse. All I know I feel I have wasted my money (its not a cheap machine) and I am very disappointed with this product. My advice, stay away from this three stage product and stick with the two stage. I'm currently looking at two stage blowers and not considering a Troybilt

No, I do not recommend this product.

thought if i had the cutting endge high enough i could avoid to many sheerpin replacements ..my drivway is small stone well compacted but it still seems to collect a lot of gravel no matter what i do.. and traction with the supplied tires is sub par

No, I do not recommend this product.

this is a beast... beautiful powerful snow blower

3 years ago
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using this for couple of months, but under heavy snow and it was capable of clearing snow including ice and packed snow of around 70cm height and 2-3 acres. on a rugged and steep surface. I absolutely love the fact that each time i press the electric start button, it starts in 2 seconds. every time. it is like it laughs at me when snow is below 30 cm height. so i need to disengage shooter and collect some snow and then reactivate shoot for maximum shooting distance :) this machine is no joke and is designed for extreme conditions. i changed the oil one time and i finally got the trick of checking oil level. and yes, it needs around 900ml to 1 L of 5w-30 synthetic oil. in the manual it says 600 ml and it was really frustrating, so be aware of that. use your mobile phone compass app to check if it is level on the ground. then add oil and check oil level.

Yes, I recommend this product.
