Didn't even make it a year.
By George Wiseman (Standish, ME)
I purchased this unit last November and used it 10 to 15 hours over the 2008-2009 snow season.
The auger shaft bearings in the blower housing are shot. The first time I used the snoblower the bolt that holds the speed control handle sheared off.
Snow and ice jams into the covers over the adjustment rods and prevents the dead-man controls from releasing.
I almost ran into vehicles and outbuildings because the unit wouldn't stop its forward motion when you released the handles.
The unit also takes off to the right as though...
