Our Two Honda Snowblowers
We got our first Honda snow blower in 1991 after we sold our John Deere tractor with a snowplow attachment and moved to Schaumburg, IL. It worked flawlessly for ten years. I managed to crack the cylinder head, which we had replaced, and the snow blower continued its faithful street and sidewalk clearing. However, in 2006 we moved to North Carolina, where for two years there was no snow, so I sold the Honda to my brother in central Illinois. In 2009 we had a foot of snow in NC, then the same again in 2010, so I decided it was time to get another Honda snowblower. When it arrived, I set it up, gassed it up, and waited for snow. And waited. And waited. And here it is 2013, and still no snow, so I must run the snow blower till it's empty. And with global warming, we're never going to get any snow. But my Honda snow blower is ready.

I purchased a Honda HS520KAS electric start snow blower from you on December 27, 2012 and it arrived on January 3,2013. The shippers did a good job, no damage to the box or the snowblower. I unpacked it and put it together, put oil and gas into it.
I then plugged it into 120 vac and pushed the starter button and it started on the first try. I let it run for a while and then shut it off. I have not had the "opportunity" to remove any snow with it because it has not snowed since I received it. But I am looking forward
to the chance to use it. So far, so good!
