We purchased this Snowblower for the Winter of 2009. We hardly got to use it as it was froze up most of the time (auger or chute cable). This past Winter (2010-11) we had to replace the drive belt and today we just went out to get it going for our first storm tonight and the gears are seized. The chute handle and cable freeze up every time it gets below a certain temperature and we have not once been able to start it with the pull cord, we always have to use the cord. Very inconvenient with our storage location. I would not recommend this at all. Perhaps we got a lemon. I am not sure but we had another snow blower for 9 years before this and it didn't cost us a cent in repairs and never gave us any problems.
