Q: so how does the warranty work get covered if it breaks by Chris Rutherford from Minnesota on November 14, 2014
A: Chris - you would take the snow blower to any Husqvarna authorized service center in your area. Husqvarna's warranty is honored at any authorized repair center no matter where the unit was originally purchased by Robert, Product Expert
Q: Says 120v electric start so if engines died in yard you only have hand pull start. by John Metzger from Nebraska on November 01, 2014
A: John - you are correct. The electric start works off standard household electrical current, so if you are away from an electrical outlet, the only way to re-start the engine would be by using the recoil (rope pull) starter. by Robert, Product Expert

I recently purchased this product/model and it works awesome!! The delivery process was excellent. The blower has been used a few times and throws snow easily. Everything is quality on this machine, I would recommend it to anyone.

Works Well Check Engine Warranty
5 times no problem 6in to 12 in of snow. Checking the engine warranty shows emission control warranty only not internal parts. Did not have a problem, but what if a bolt inside was not secured properly?
Will Husqvarna help if something does go wrong?

Snowblower Defeats First Major Snowstorm In Denver, 2016
After patching up my 12 year old 24" snowblower for the last time in 2015, I came to the realization that I was working harder than it was to move snow off my driveway and sidewalks. After doing extensive on-line and in-person research, I settled on the 30" ST230P as a beefy replacement. With 16" of heavy snow and blowing winds, I finally got to put the beast to work.
After finishing 5 three-car driveways and several hundred feet of sidewalks, it became apparent to me that this machine can handle any blizzard mother nature can muster. Instead of dreaming about sandy warm beaches, I am anticipating and looking forward to Colorado spring snows. Who knew???

Neat!
Burned up the impeller belt the first day. Not only are the belts on this machine difficult to get part numbers for and locate, but actually replacing them is a real bear. There are belt guides that must be loosened, and those belt guides are bolted through behind the impeller wheel. So, if one happens to loosen up, it will damage the impeller. Gotta be a Chinese machine designed more for cheap manufacturing than practical use and maintenance.. Engine runs great.

Josh,
Josh,
I am sorry to hear that the belt burned up upon first use. This was an issue Husqvarna had in the past but we were told had since rectified. I am forwarding this to my rep to look into in the case that this is a reoccurring issue. Aside from this issue I am happy to hear that you are pleased with the snow blowers performance.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and I once again apologize for the issue you experienced.
Purchased the snow blower last fall, new. The big snow came, and I decided to do the first clearing Saturday morning with about 16" on the ground. my driveway is about 400' long.
At approximately 3/4 complete in first gear it threw the impeller belt, when I took the belt cover off the front of the engine it was trash. When the snow finished Saturday night, I hired a snow plow to do the job the next day.
I have a number of Husqvarna products and have always had good luck with them until now.

Just In Time For The Next Snow....
We were so excited to receive our new snow blower for the property, and the Maintenance Supervisor had it put together and ready to run in short order. He started it up for a test and within just a few short moments it started smoking.
Everything seemed to be running properly so it was a little perplexing at first, but with further inspection the Maintenance Supervisor found a flaw in the design at the belt.
The piece designed to turn the belt was actually rubbing it, which caused the smoking however the machine was operational as long as the hand lever was engaged. While it is disappointing to need immediate warranty service, the machine operates nicely otherwise.

Great Machine Just Not Sure About Sbd Delivery Policies…
Snow Thrower arrived yesterday. Minimal assembly, gassed it up, plugged it in and it started the VERY first attempt!!! As expected. Now all I need is the snow which by the looks of the current weather here in Steamboat Colorado won’t be long!!
My only issue is the $100 fee for lift gate service ($50) and "remote area fee" ($50) I was charged seems to be a way for SBD to add $$ onto the order.
According to the driver, all trucks they deliver with has a lift gate and it's part of their delivery to use the lift gate to drop it and use the hand lift (mini fork lift) to put it into my garage - i.e. customer satisfaction.
As far as the "remote area" he says he delivers all the time to Steamboat just on a weekly basis vs daily.
Called customer service and she originally said I wasn't charged for the remote deliver fee SBD was, but it was listed on my receipt. Then her story changed a bit to "...if SBD doesn't put it on the order it won't happen." I doubt that very much. She wouldn't budge on a refund.
I have a Husqvarna lawn mower for years and know the great quality in the product and expect this in my thrower as well. The price on the Thrower was good, just didn't like how I feel I was "duped" into an additional $100 fee which reduced my cost savings.
I guess my recommendation would be the old adage do your research and 'buyer beware.’

Robert,
We use different carriers for delivery, and we charge lift gate fees to reserve delivery with a carrier that offers those conveniences. Not all carriers have lift gates on their trucks, and not all will deliver to remote areas. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
Even though the snow blower was supposed to be on back order it came early by a week.. trucking service was good and the snow blower has only been used one time but seems to work fine.
