"This year in Michigan we set a record for total overall snowfall. I wanted a machine that would move snow and move it fast without bogging down or over working the machine which to many times happens with snowblowers when more than 8" falls at once. I have a large driveway and also maintain 3 of my neighbors as well that are eldery. I was not disappointed. Very easy to use and makes snow removal very fun. I wish the directional shute was metal instead of hard plastic. Tis did not cause any problems, I just am not a fan of plastic. Even though it has 6 speeds, I recommend using just 1st gear. The machine moves more than adequately enough in first as well as the motor is able to work with ease. I cut through 18" of wet snow we got like a hot knife through butter. Nice traction on the tires and very well bilt other than that darn plastic shute. I think I only used the electric start once as it always started on the first pull regardless of the temperature outside."
