Beautiful Bew Machine
Just received my new Husqvarna ST227P snow blower. The shipping company was on time and the driver was very polite. I do find it to be a scam that they charge an extra $50 for lift gate service. I would guess that most of their snow blower shipping jobs go to homeowners and I don't know too many people that own their own forklift or have a shipping dock. Anyway the machine was fairly easy to assemble I think it took longer to break down the cardboard and pallet than to assemble.
The blower started up on the first pull and seems to run great. I do worry that the control panel notches for shifting etc. are all plastic and do not have any metal reinforcements. I'll have to see how durable they are over time. I have not yet had the chance to try the machine out fully as it has not snowed here. I am hoping the reported problems with the auger belt are either user error or have been rectified. Happy blowing! LoL.

Started it up. Ran for about 2 minutes and it started leaking oil. Snow Blowers Direct would not take it back, and told me to call Husqvarna. Husqvarna gave me a local repair center. I called them and they don't service Husqvarna. Called Husqvarna back and they gave me another repair center.
Called them and they only service under warranty if you bought it there. Called Husqvarna back and told them to take it back. They would not. So made Husqvarna set up a repair center to come and get it and drop off after repair. Still waiting to hear from the repair center 1-1/2 weeks later.
Don't buy Husqvarna and don't buy from Snow Blowers Direct. Read the fine print on returns. They can't return once it's gassed. Both companies try to pass the buck. Buy an Aries, Cub Cadet, or Craftsman, and buy local. You may need to pay tax and delivery, but it's still worth it in the long run.

Frank,
We are very sorry to hear of the issues with your Husqvarna snow blower. Unfortunately once the unit has been gassed it will need to be handled directly by a certified Husqvarna service center location. If you do hear back from the Husqvarna service center in the next week I would be glad to assist with getting Husqvarna involved to get this issue resolved in a timely manner.
Works Great!! All The Functions I Wanted And Need..
I've only had it this winter, but overall it works and runs great.
Pros:Easy To Use, Reliable, High Quality
Cons:Heavy

Disappointed
The day after receiving my blower I assembled the unit in my garage. It was fun, but cold in there, and we had just received 24"s + of snow. The assembly when well, but I like taking my time to make sure everything is right. I gassed it up, plugged it in and it started right up. I first noted that the headlights didn't work. After letting it warm up the grips were not even warm. These two features are some that I considered when shopping for a machine in this price range. After making some calls I checked the wiring and found nothing apparently out of place. So now I have to pay the service facility $100 to pick up and deliver the unit for repair and my account will be credited for. In my area we have been getting our oats as far as snowfalls go and expecting more this week. I don't know how long this will take, but it does not sound good. I'll probably have to pay for snow removal.

Anthony,
Sorry to hear about the problems with your snow blower. This is not a known problem, but electrical components do fail sometimes. Your dealer that picked up your snow blower should be able to file that charge under our warranty policy. Please be sure to inform your dealer of this, so you get a full refund on the pick up and delivery. Rest assured that the dealer will fix the problem, and you will be able to use this machine for many years to come.
"It is what it is. Right now I'm not having a good experience. I have to lay out money, be without a machine that I payed for in the middle of an intense snow season, and most likely have to pay for snow removal. I'm very disappointed."
I purchased this blower after looking at several different brands, and it appeared to have better build quality than its competitors. So far it has lived up to all of my expectations and more.
I need to blow a 200' driveway of upstate New York snow, and this was blessing to have. It never let me down. Only when trying to blow heavy drifts did it bog down. A few extra horsepower would have been appreciated, but it works.
I would absolutely buy again.

I Wish I Bought A Toro.
I have a Husqvarna chainsaw, which was very dependable and was the reason why I chose to buy their snow blower. The 4th time I used it this season, the auger belt snapped.... I'm very disappointed.

Christopher,
We are sorry to hear of the issue you had with the belt on your Husqvarna snow blower. If you contact us directly at 800-710-7499 we can direct you to a servicing dealer that can assist with your belt issue if you haven't taken care of it already. If you have an issue with the design of the snow blower contacting Husqvarna directly would be an option. They can be reached at 800-487-5951.
Sorry to hear about this problem. Rest assured that this problem should be covered under warranty. Please contact your local Husqvarna dealer and advise them of the problem. They will be able to correct this problem so as it doesn't happen again. Once this is corrected I believe you will enjoy operating your Husqvarna snow thrower and get many years of error free use out of it.
I bought this new model to replace a 20 year old Toro. I'm a big fan of Husky's chain saws and decided to go with this brand because I trust it. I have never been so disappointed with an equipment purchase. The blower struggles in cold weather, with the drive constantly slipping.
The idle also bounces, and at times it's nearly impossible the keep the engine running for more than a few minutes. The hand-warmers are completely useless (big surprise!). The snow chute also has terrible range... My Toro used to be able to shoot snow at a slight angle behind it. This machine can't even blow snow at a 90 angle... Its more like 85 degrees on the right side and 75 degrees on the left.
That means the snow is always blowing somewhat in front of where the machine is. So when you're at the end of a drive way you have to angle the machine or else the snow blows into the street. This is also a pain when you are approaching buildings or fences.

Mark,
We are sorry to hear of the performance issues you have had with your Husqvarna snow blower. We recommend contacting Husqvarna directly to voice your concerns. They appreciate the feedback and may be able to help you out. Husqvarna can be reached at 800-487-5951.
My apologies for the bad experience you are having. In regards to the drive slipping, if it is the tires slipping, you may want to consider a slower speed when going through larger areas of snow. If the drive internally is slipping than I would recommend taking it to you local Husqvarna dealer. This snow blower uses a friction disk drive system, it is possible that oil or grease spilled on the disk in transit, this would cause your blower to have drive issues. I would advise taking your machine to a dealer for the engine issues, as it should have a smooth idle after warming up for several minutes. It may need a minor adjustment which your local dealer can do under warranty.
Please also have your local dealer look at the chute rotation as you may need a cable adjustment so you get complete 180 degree rotation. If your hand warmers are not working, a dealer will also be able to fix these under warranty. While the hand warmers are not a wrap hand warmer, they do offer heat to your fingers and finger tips. Please note that most other snow blowers in this price category do not include hand warmers, but are offered as an accessory for an additional cost.
I would advise taking your unit to a Husqvarna servicing dealer to have them repair the issues stated above.
I bought the Husqvarna ST227P snow blower from a major online retailer in December 2015, and was very excited. I have previously been very satisfied with Husqvarna products, and I currently own a Husqvarna chainsaw, line trimmer, and leaf blower. Whey I needed a snow blower, I went right to Husqvarna -- big mistake.
The snow blower was easy to assemble, had great features, looked fantastic, and started right up. Our first snow came about a month later in January 2016. I began clearing snow, and the Husqvarna ST227P did an amazing job... until the auger stopped working after just an hour of use. When I took the snow blower's housing apart, I saw that the auger belt didn't just break - it was literally destroyed.
After some additional research, I found that I am not alone in having this auger belt failure. Many other owners of the Husqvarna ST227P have had the auger belt failure after just 30-60 minutes of use.
Because I purchased the Husqvarna ST227P during the holiday shopping period, I was luckily able to return the it for a full refund until the end of January (the retailer picked it up for free).
This experience has unfortunately shaken my confidence in Husqvarna products. I will be looking at other manufacturers for a new snow blower.

Very Disappointed
I bought a Husqvarna yesterday at Lowe's, anticipating the blizzard that is about to hit the Northeast. I gassed it up and it started on the first pull. I soon realized that the auger was not turning - sort of an important function of a snowblower. I called Lowe's and they said it should work.
