Title: Excellent value
Review: Happy with this purchase. Was nervous with the build quality, but it appears both the mechanical design and engine issues are mostly resolved with this version versus the prior versions. I have the Loncin version. I would have liked a few features, like a fuel shut off switch and a throttle control, but it turns out these are not really needed. The package was received perfectly from Amazon and took 30 minutes to assemble. It was simple. The only glitch was I overtightened and broke one of the skid plate bolts. I emailed customer service and received replacements in about 5 days. I added the included oil and some gas and it started up after the third pull. I let it run for about 15 minutes. The engine was surging for first 5 minutes during the break-in. I was able to reduce the choke and it now runs smoothly. Used it yesterday after the snow and it worked like a charm. It had no problem with the mobility and it handled wet snow perfectly. Snow throw distance was excellent, the forward and backward speeds were good. I also stepped down from a 26 inch to a 24 inch and I think the portability and maneuverability are better than the 26 inch version and the loss of snow clear coverage is not noticeable. Overall, I think this is an excellent value with just enough features and quality for an occasional use, home owner.

Title: It has cleared a lot of snow so far this winter
Review: This winter we broke the 101 year total snowfall record with 14.2 ft. (4.3 meters) of snow with six snowstorms back to back. I am happy I made the decision to buy this PowerSmart 24 Inch 2-Stage snowblower.My gravel driveway is 1,300 ft. in length with a large parking area in front of my cabin. I have used this snowblower a number of times to clear my driveway and parking area. It has done a great job with no problems.What I especially like about this snowblower is:• The electric start uses a standard extension cord (no battery to die in the cold). It turns over the motor rapidly even in very cold temperatures.• The intake blades and second stage blower blade are metal. They can handle the occasional intake of a piece of gravel.• The adjustable skids can be set low for pavement or high for gravel.• Assembly was easy. Everything you need, included motor oil, is provided.• Spare shear pins are provided.• The snowblower started right up on the first use.• Instructions are good.• The snowblower is easy to operate.In short, this snowblower had had some hard workouts in deep snow and is holding up fine. I’m very pleased with it. It is well worth the price.

Title: (Updated) Great thrower, bad mover.
Review: Update: Customer support got in contact with me and went above and beyond. While the experience with the machine has not changed, I feel like customer support is a huge part of the overall experience, and I’m adding a star for this. Kudos!—–Original: The only thing it is great at is throwing. It throws spectacularly – we had two snowstorms with wet snow. It had no problem with that. You can choke it if you run it into a wet bank, but then I think you can choke an Ariens this way, too. Assembly was pretty easy and straightforward (follow a simple one-page instruction manual…). No complaints about engine, I only used manual start.The rest are not good news unfortunately. At least for me, who operated a 1978 Ariens for 8 years that I found on a curbside. When I compare, I compare to that machine, that I drove into the ground (no fault of Ariens). Some of the things I learned are something you can never pick up from pictures.-No onehanded operation. Also controls are flipped compared to Ariens. Takes time to adjust. Drive control is on the right. To redirect the chute you have to release drive with your right hand (the machine stops), and reach to the chute handle that is UNDER the left auger control handle. I mean it’s OK, but being able to direct the chute while still moving was great with Ariens.-No differential. And it doesn’t freewheel (I am not sure if it would be beneficial if it could tbh). Which also means you really have to push it when you need to change direction. No tight curves. Really hard to do tight spaces. Such a contrast to one-handed driving on Ariens, where you hold one pedal with your left hand, and can turn on the spot, while turning the chute at the same time.-It’s really lightweight. But I put 3 stars for the weight because it turned out to be a disadvantage! The thrower wanders around constantly and doesn’t go in a straight line on my (somewhat uneven) driveway. When the skates hit an obstacle, the wheels being pretty powerful, just throw the thrower to the side. As a result, when you cut a line it ends up being a zigzag. So you constantly have to push it, just not forward, but sideways to try and maintain direction.-Vibration. This is something that I didn’t expect so much that I couldn’t believe it after the first use. But as I’m typing it after the second use, my hands are still zapping from vibration. You can’t quite tell that it’s bad when you are using it, but when you turn it off, come in, take the gloves off and try to do something, you can tell your hands took a beating.-It’s low. If you are 6’2″, you’ll have to bend over, and it’s harder on your back than a much heavier but taller machine.It’s still a very capable machine and gets the job done. I guess you get what you pay for.

Title: Bad Start
Review: I was really concerned when I took it out of the box, one of the decals was half torn off. The box had a label that said “Do not Destroy box ” yet the blower was boarded and attached to the bottom of the box, and I had to cut the box to get to the machine. Once removed the assembly was fairly simple. After prepping with fuel and oil it was easy to start with the electric start and the controls worked percept,Update 03/16/23; Had the snow blower 2 and 1/2 months now and 4 storms. In the middle of clearing our driveway during the fourth storm the engine quit and fuel was leaking from the carburetor, and it would not start again.It was very difficult to get in touch with the customer service department, had to end up sending an e-mail. No service person available to discuss situation. Three days later I received a reply from the service department. Agent was very courteous and seemed concerned. He informed me that they did not have a service center within 50 miles of my location so he gave me a service order number, said he would have a new carburetor sent to me and told me to find a local small engine repair company, have engine / carburetor repaired and to send him the receipt. He would then reimburse me.Not what I had planned for, no carburetor yet but we’ll see. I saved about $200 by buying this one instead of a Craftsman blower from my local Lowes store. Not worth the hassle. I will post another review if it works out, or not.

Review: We had a huge amount of heavy snow yesterday in southern Ontario and I was worried about clearing the bottom of my driveway from the huge snow plows, but this machine cut through it amazingly!! I am very impressed with this brand (I had a Toro for years). They even sent me plastic skids free of charge so the metal ones did not damage my paved driveway. Great company to deal with.

Review: I originally wrote a review praising the snowblower and it’s performance. I had to update my review as a weld on the axle to the auger had broken after 2 weeks. I contacted the seller who provided amazing customer service and determined it was damaged in shipping. They have totall resolved the issue and are truly a great company to deal with
