Yard-Man 31BH5C3F401 8.5 HP, 26-Inch Two Stage Snowthrower with Electric Start

I've got one of these and in a word, it's "Awesome!". We had one of the biggest storms of the last 20 years here in the Philly suburbs and it saved the neighborhood. It threw the snow over 15 feet from the machine when needed, and ate not only the original snow, but really came in handy when it had to clear out over 15 neighbors driveways AFTER the snow plow came thru and blocked them up again. I ran it for over 2 hours out of every 8 hours throughout the 3 day storm. It never quit.

The first snow of the season was about 8 inches deep where I live.Took me about 20 minutes to do my drive way,I have about 60 foot driveway,I did my moms about the same time she has about same driveway length as me.I also had to cut thru the plowed up snow from the townships snow plow,NO problem,went thru it like a hot knife thru butter! It handled 8 inches deep snow with no problem what so ever. This was a better price then I could find anywhere. I am VERY pleased with this Snow King. Heres a tip if you have a leaf blower,it makes it easy to clean up and put back where you store it. Took me 15 minutes with a leaf blower to blow out all snow and ice,from the snow blower,blew it dry in about 10 minutes. No...Read more
