Excellent snowblower for this 2012 winters

I finally caved in and picked up a snowblower during the harsh 2010 MN winter. I'm happy to say it handled the snow like a champ, my back couldn't be happier.

A couple of tips for potential buyers:

1) Make sure to go out and use the blower BEFORE you get 8-10 inches of snow. We got pummeled with over a foot of snow, and I waited until it was all over before going out. The snow was deeper than the blower, making it difficult to clear the driveway.

2) Trust me that the power cord is not that big of a deal. I was worried about it getting in the way and being a hassle. The first couple times you use the blower you'll probably need to be extra aware of the cord, but after that you'll get your routine down.

3) Try your best to clean out the "gears" where the blower rotates after you're finished using the blower. I've had snow freeze in the mechanism several times making it hard to rotate the blower.

Again, it is an excellent machine, don't hesitate to pick it up! I purchased this machine after my gas powered blowe finally died. Tired of fighting to get the gas versions started I decided to give the electric a try. This is a great little machine with a lot more power than expected. I live in New England where we've had 6+ feet of snow and it handles up to a foot a ta time very well. Starts right up everytime and the lever power button work great, I had a power shovel and it was impossible to hold the button and use it at the same time. It was fairly easy to put together, be sure to look carefully through the packing for all for all of the small parts.

A few tips from prevoius reviewers, and now that I've used the machine. I tried coating the inside and blade with WD40, by far the best tip I've ever gotten, works beautifully. Also someone said the nut on the long screw to shoot gets lost, they are correct and I was glad I picked up a few extra when the machine came.
