I replaced my 11 yr old cub cadet with this model once that one stopped working. I was looking for this style vs the larger walk behind model due to limited garage space. I did all of the research I could do on these models and ultimately the 208cc snow king engine, the straight gas (no oil mix), the electric start (which have never had on any equipment), the added headlights (not that I think I need them), the brand name and reputation and the dollar value compared to others were my deciding factor.
It arrived within days which was a plus also. It was really 90% assembled in the carton and finishing this was a less than 10 minute deal. I only had to bolt on the chute and flip the handle upright and tighten, and then add oil.
It has yet to snow here, but I have fired it up a couple times just because I wanted to once it was ready. It fires right up and I can wait to throw some snow.
I would definitely recommend this unit.
Just be sure that you DO ADD the oil. It does not come with the oil filled.
