| Prompt Service and Professional Advice |
| By Gary Marple (Gettysburg, PA) |
Thanks to Snowblowers Direct and the phone availability of your Tech Help, I was able to replace several parts on my snowblower.
The parts arrived at my home in a timely manner just in time for the major snow storm of the decade. All parts fit perfectly and it was easy to install.
Thank you for quality products and ease of communication with you. Keep up the great service to your customers. |

| Works great |
| By john (Munster, IN) |
We got 8 in. of snow and my old unit broke.
I bought this one and waited all day for my 11 year old to return from school. He used it for 3 hours and did our house- about 100 ft.
Then he did the house next door (30x100) and Grandma's house, and he did not have any problems.
SBD RESPONDS: As handy as it is to have kids help with snow blowing, please be sure that they understand- and follow- all the safety advice covered in the Owner's Manual! |

| Worthless unless around 4 inches or less |
| By Jeremiah (Janesville, WI) |
I only have a short driveway about 50 ft or so, and 30 ft wide. After fighting with the thing to barely blow any snow, I finally resorted to shoveling.
Eventually I went back to the snow blower. The snow is a little heavy, but not enough to slow the machine down, I wouldn't think; or make it stall out.
I finally got frustrated with the machine and decided I was going to call MTD to complain about it. I kept using the snow blower so I could tell them all the problems I had with the machine.
76 stall-outs and 1 hour, 15 minutes later I was done snow blowing my driveway. BTW it's pointless to use this at the end of driveway with the pile from city snowplows.
The pile took 4 passes worth of the snow blower, and that alone took me 30 minutes to snowblow. Then I headed into my house and called MTD.
I waited 10 minutes to talk to someone; when someone finally answered he didn't want to hear anything I had to say. He connected me to a service center and that was it, a 30 to 45 second phone call with him.
This machine will throw snow with 4 inches or less of powder snow, and even then it does a crappy job at best, about 3/4 of the snow goes thru the chute the other 1/4 flies out the front so you end up having to make a second pass to get all the snow removed.
In the Spring this machine is going in the front yard with a For Sale sign put on it, and I'm buying a new one that will actually do the job. |

| Runs like a bear in Buffalo, NY |
| By big gee (Buffalo, NY) |
I use my snow thrower in well over a foot of snow and it works just fine- better than some two stage blowers I have owned.
It runs like a bear and clears snow very well, and let me tell ya we get a hell of a lot of snow in this town! |

| For 3" or less of powder snow |
| By John (Flat Rock, MI) |
I bought this snow thrower about a month ago. The first day I got it, I opened the box and put it together in a snap. Actually, there wasn't much to it, just pull the handle up and lock it into place, put oil and gas in it and start it up.
I think I had about 4" of snow on the ground that day. I started it up and went at it. Immediately I was surprised at how much snow it left behind! It was actually going right OVER about an inch of snow, almost like the blade was not touching the ground, but in fact it was.
It does not handle wet snow at all! Trust me, not even slightly wet snow. And it is not light either, when pushing this thing through some heavy snow, it gets to be a real task after a while.
This is a snow thrower for someone looking to use it on 3" or less of POWDER snow. On the plus side, it runs good and starts right up on the first or second pull. Just like a new snow thrower should.... I guess.... I'm selling it and buying a better one for sure. Don't waste your money. |
