Yardworks 21-in 179cc Single-Stage Snowblower

Assembling the snow blower was quick and easy. The plug-in electric ignition is a smart feature and made starting it every time a snap. Never having used a snow blower without self-propelled wheels I did find the unit a little heavy and unwieldy. Possibly larger wheels would make moving the unit around a little easier or maybe it was just me. A headlight would be useful as well, but this is an inexpensive model. Nevertheless, it chewed thru mounds of snow and ice higher than it’s 13" intake with ease. The machine was able to effortlessly throw the snow any direction or distance desired. This unit seems to be very fuel efficient and the small footprint makes it easy to store in a garage or shed. I would recommend this snow blower to anyone facing average snowfall and with a typical smaller new home-sized property.

Bought only 2 weeks ago. Starts and runs fine, but will not throw snow, auger spins but once it hits snow, it stops spinning. Not sur if the belt is off ??????

This snowblower is lightweight and compact making it easy for anyone to use and manoeuvre and takes up little space in a crowded garage. I was impressed after our recent heavy snowfall. In a matter of minutes I was able to do my driveway along with 3 of our neighbour's. Lent it out to one neighbour who was struggling with an electric blower and there was no comparison there at all.

This is one powerful little machine! I was skeptical on how well it would be at clearing heavier snow and boy was I wrong! Even with the mild winter here in Southern Ontario we did have a few decent snowfalls and I was able to test this out on up to 12" of wet packing snow in some areas and it did not disappoint. That being said it definitely started bogging down after about 7" and would require more effort to move the thicker snow but still took the strain off my back and arms which is the whole point of these machines in my eyes. The snowthrower is lightweight and easy to maneuver around and pull back and forth when needed. No worries about a large, heavy and awkward machine to deal with when it comes time to turn the unit around to do another pass. The rubber paddle/auger does a great job of pulling the snow in and out of the chute, bringing you down to bare asphalt with ease. I do think there could be some improvement on the chute system for this snowthrower. I was a little disappointed to see there was no handle to adjust the chute for left/right and up/down dispersal. It has a grab handle that you have to reach around and manually adjust for left/right and then a plastic wingnut to adjust the up/down. Living in a newer development we have close driveways and cars parked everywhere so there is a lot of adjusting happening! I found adjusting left to right worked fine but when it came to adjusting the pitch you would really have to tighten the wingnut or it would come lose and within seconds it would be completely angled back and shooting snow high in the air. Hoping they compensate for this with a more sturdy adjustment system to make it easier for the user to control where the snow goes. Aside from minor chute issues the Yardworks 21-in 179cc Single-Stage Snowthrower works really well and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight yet surprisingly powerful gas snowthrower.

This light weight snow blower cleans right down to the pavement. It throws the snow quite a distance and is easy to start with the electric starter. It was very easy to assemble. It has a lot of power for its size.
