Michigan snow storms, does the job in 5-7 inches of snow!
I bought this smow-blower on February 22nd, 2023, right before our 2nd Michigan snow storm, and I'm happy with it, I used it after the last 2 storms.Good thing I had it, that heavy wet snow was too hard to lift.Easy to assemble, but you have to look out for a few points that almost made me return it, if I didn't have 7 inches of snow outside.First, the machine is very heavy, returning it would have been by UPS pick up, no way I could load it in my vehicle.Second, be careful when opening the box, one small nuts and bolts were loose in the box.The notice to put it together is not very clear, written very small, but I got it done in less than 30 min.I noticed a few defaults and points to explain:- it had a little scratch on the metal, nothing bad. I needed the machine.- a tiny zip-tie was broken under the dashboard, fixed it, didn't want hanging cables.- on the right, the blue cable was not very well isolated, and most of all, it was rubbing on the right wheel. I taped it and tied it up higher, away from the wheel.- in the notice, the figure 6 design shows to assemble the 2 skid shoes with the 2 bolts centered: DO NOT center them, let the machine rest on the ground and screw them as is, so you leave no gap under the red metal part. If you center them, you'll leave a quarter inch of snow on the ground.- make sure to drill a small hole in the head of the red contact key, and tie it with a little wire to the bar. When you'll stop the machine by pulling off the key, you won't loose it in the snow with your big gloves !- careful with the oil gauge. The notice says the oil isn't supplied, but I received a 19oz can, perfect to start with. Poured the whole can, as it requires 20oz. Came handy. The gauge isn't easy to read, as the oil is very clear.- remember to put the clutch in "neutral": in between 1st Reverse and 1st Forward, when you're done and stopped.- as mentioned in the notice, do not pull on the start handle too hard, it perfectly started on the 4th gentle pull.- wear heavy gloves: the 2 black metal handle might pinch the side of your hands on the red handles.- when you will run out of gas, the machine will start humming repeatedly, you'll know !- I used a 1.25 gallon of "87" regular gas over the 3 storms. The gas tank is only 0.5 gallon, but enough to work with.- use the first 3 or 4 forward gears to work and scrape snow to the ground. Gears 5 and 6 are for moving the machine around.

Good thing I had it, that heavy wet snow was too hard to lift.
Easy to assemble, but you have to look out for a few points that almost made me return it, if I didn't have 7 inches of snow outside.
First, the machine is very heavy, returning it would have been by UPS pick up, no way I could load it in my vehicle.
Second, be careful when opening the box, one small nuts and bolts were loose in the box.

The notice to put it together is not very clear, written very small, but I got it done in less than 30 min.

I noticed a few defaults and points to explain:
- it had a little scratch on the metal, nothing bad. I needed the machine.
- a tiny zip-tie was broken under the dashboard, fixed it, didn't want hanging cables.
- on the right, the blue cable was not very well isolated, and most of all, it was rubbing on the right wheel. I taped it and tied it up higher, away from the wheel.

- remember to put the clutch in "neutral": in between 1st Reverse and 1st Forward, when you're done and stopped.
- as mentioned in the notice, do not pull on the start handle too hard, it perfectly started on the 4th gentle pull.
- wear heavy gloves: the 2 black metal handle might pinch the side of your hands on the red handles.

Color: 26-InchVerified Purchase
Assembly was not difficult and took about an hour. Machine started right up, ready to go. I was clearing some ice from my drive which was about an inch thick in some places. This did an outstanding job. It does require a bit of muscle to keep it going in a straight line, especially when it's icy. Halfway through the job, it stopped throwing snow. Auger was running, but impeller wasn't. I determined the pin attaching the impeller to the shaft was gone. Fortunately, it was in the snow/ice that was packed in the chute. I put it back and replaced the missing cotter pin, and off I went. Don't know if the cotter pin was missing from the factory, if the cotter broke or just fell out. No biggie.

I bought this my husband for his birthday. Just starting to run out of ideas.😳. So it came to me that my.A-Hole of an ex husband took both. We had 2.. They were kind of old anyway, so I figured OK perfect I’ll get him one that is his. Wasn’t sure of what I was getting. I kind of just went on the reviews. Well my now husband loves it. He says it’s great. Personally I don’t know. It looks really nice.😊 . I thought the price was reasonable as well. I know the prices bc my ex bought one, and the other one was given to him. I knew the prices of what he had. So I knew that this was a good price. Just very glad that it’s a good product. And thank you for the reviews. They really do help.

Do not buy from Powersmart! I ordered my snowblower Jan of last year, I opened the box and couldn’t even put my blower together because the end of the handle was damaged and the instructions fell out of the box onto my driveway. I called them and they said they would send a replacement part, it never came I had to call them, email them several times they kept saying I would get a replacement part, but it never came. I asked for a refund they said they could send a whole new machine if I sent the broken one, I asked for the label to send it, they never responded. Even after a year they never sent the replacement part, I reached out to them yet again and they said they’d send the part, once again it never came they then told me to take it to the service center, when I called the service center he said he would have to wait forever for the part too. So I waisted over $700 for a machine I never even got to use because it came broken. They won’t send you a new part or let you get a refund and you can hardly ever get anyone to answer. Will never buy their products again

Blower worked really well. Make sure you adjust the cables after initial assembly as they are not taught enough for continued use. Found that out the hard way when the blower stopped turning.
