I bought it a month ago for my church and it is a good product. Instructions to assemble it are not so clear but youtube helped. I little bit noisy but worked perfectly.

The build quality and operation so far seem good. Started on first pull for first use, and every time since. Runs strong and more than powerful enough engine for the size. I have used this snowblower five or six times so far to clear snowfalls ranging from 10-20 cm, dry powder snow mostly but some damp snow, as well as the windrow left by the snowplow at the end of the driveway (fairly densely packed and at times wet snow). It is light and easy to maneuver, and it goes through every depth of snow easily at the right forward speed, with appropriate swath width. That is - WHEN it will engage the drive. After using for a while it would intermittently fail to engage the drive wheels and move forward or in reverse. Auger was working fine - I basically had to push it at times to clear snow. After a bit the drive would engage, then quit again. I checked and adjusted the cable, checked the friction disc, drive wheel plate, drive belt, pulleys, tensioner etc, and there was nothing wrong. I then concluded that something must be getting wet and slipping, then when it dried the drive would engage again. Long story short - the black plastic cover over the drive and auger belts is poorly fitting garbage that lets snow and melted snow (water) into the belt area, causing the drive belt to slip until it dries from friction. The auger belt is unaffected because it has teeth. The actual worst design failure is that there are two air vent holes on top of the cover positioned DIRECTLY above the drive belt. Because the chute leaks snow backwards onto the drive belt cover, the snow melts, drips down onto the belt, it slips and you have no drive. I put a piece of duct tape over these holes, and aluminum duct tape over the large gap between the cover and the engine so snow/water can't get in, and I haven't had drive failure since (two uses). If you are not familiar with snowblowers (I had the same Sears Craftsman for 30 years before this), this could be a major hassle on the phone with tech support or even taking it in for repairs and not having the use of it for who knows how long. I also wish it had a throttle. I'm giving it four stars because it was a great price and otherwise seems the same quality as much more expensive machines

The blower exceeds expectations. This snowblower was bought as a stop-gap measure while our 22hp Kubota tractor/ blower was down until January, waiting for parts. The (many) early snow falls this season were not a challenge for this blower. It starts very well. Blows decently. Prior to use, we adjusted and lubricated any/all mechanisms beyond the hasty factory assembly methods. (incidentally we had to do this to a new $2000 Toro snowblower for another property too) The plastic chute rotator assembly lever will need an additional shim at some point to stay properly engaged. But otherwise, the build quality, and performance, is far better than expected...almost regardless of price.

Snowblower does an excellent job gor the price. Highly recommended for sidewalk, driveway of a residential property. No pushing, it is self propelled with electric start
