I love my little snow thrower. I use it carefully and take really good care of it. Super inexpensive, and super light, it makes my life so much better with less time in the cold, and a much easier task for my body to contend with. The drive is 125' so I go the last 25 with a shovel! That's ok.

Its powerful enough but just like everyone else says, the plastic shute pops off with 3 inches of show. Its held by all plastic and 1 screw. Why would they not put 4 screws or make it metal? Probably saved $0.15 but now cost them another returned snow blower after 5 minutes of use.

Instructions say multiple times not to get it wet... Ummm, it's to use with SNOW, isn't it? How're you supposed to keep it dry?? Worked ok for about 30 min, then it quit & wouldn't restart. Took it back for a refund, & will bee getting a gas blower. I guess you get what you pay for- in this case a whole lot of headache!

Lightweight and easy. I'm 75 and love this little blower. Does a great job. Just be sure to use a 14 gauge extension cord like the instructions say to insure smooth and easy running and long life. I've been using mine for several years. Very satisfied!!

When I bought this in the beginning of fall, I wasn't sure if I made the right decision but when I started using it, not only me but my neighbors were surprised too! I even cleared the snow bank which was piled up in front of my drive way by city snow removal trucks. Of course I used my shovel to spread the hard snow sometimes but this machine totally did what it was supposed to do and I am very happy I bought this. I waited the whole winter to see how it performs and here we are. This machine was a good helping hand and really did the job for me with much less energy and time

Just unpacked this product and put it together. We had a 4" of snow and I thought I would put it to the test. Good thing I did since I have a chance to buy something better. Shute kept getting blocked so I had to stop and clear it out. Also the top kept blowing off and I had to try and lock that down. It would appear locked and then would almost immediately blow off when I would hit a patch of ice under the snow. Took well over an hour to do half of a double driveway and not a good job of that. Was more exhausted using this product then if I had shoveled it myself. Product is useless. Do not buy! Spend a little more and get a quality product. This company seems to be a cheap alternative for people and for retail outlets that want to give consumers a budget alternative. If this is all the money you have for a snow "thrower" then I suggest you use more than the one screw they offer to hold the shute down. Drill a couple of holes and lock it down yourself unless you can return it. I had did not get a chance to use this product until after the return policy of Sam's Club.

Bought this online...came about a week later. easy to put together. cleared my driveway in about 10 min. about 4 inches of snow. would have handled double that easy. lightweight easy to use, small for storage in off season. easier than pushing a lawnmower. all of the men in my house were impressed. no more shoveling. no maintenance because its electric! Just plug it in

Fast shipping and good product. We haven't had any snow yet, but this unit is light and easy to handle. The handle can fold down for easy transport in your car. It should be nice not to have to handle gas or worry about starting the machine. I want to store it in the house. That is something I wouldn't do with a gas snowblower.

The hood to direct the snow *blows off* with heavy snow. The clicking "lock" mechanism doesn't actually LOCK it securely. The engine is fine, which I tested when I bought it at season-end, but THIS problem one wouldn't discover until using it in snow. I had to do only small slivers of snow, making my job take 2- or even 3xs as long! And I had to run to chase the hood (in heavy snow) 20+ times. I will have to use DUCT TAPE to make it stay put, and hope that doesn't affect the swivel option, but fear it will. YES, I read all the directions to assemble, and YES, I put it together correctly. It's just poorly designed and needs to add bolts to make the hood actually stay ON. It also doesn't really handle the amount it says it well. It struggled with 4" of heavy snow. It would be better for light snow. DO NOT BUY. I will be looking for a new machine (NOT a Snow Joe) at the end of winter season. I hope I can make this machine last well enough to get me there.

The pulley is defective on this model. under use the nut embedded in the plastic pulley spins will not allow the auger to spin. A replacement pulley has not been available for over two years. I ended up drilling and pinning the plastic to the pulley
