(More customer reviews)Very good and reliable!
One of the best power equipment purchases I have made.
Here's why:You need a snowblower.You ask yourself, should I get one of the big monsters, impress the neighbors, and be able to cut through glaciers.Maybe.But if you live in an area where most snows are 7 inches or under with blizzard being infrequent, this is the perfect machine.
Here's why:
It's four stroke engine (and honda).No messing with having mix oil in the gas.It's like your car.Just add gas.
After initial breakin, it's started for me just about every time after only one or 2 pulls.
It's what's called a single stage snowblower.That is it uses rubber scraping blades and cleans the snow right down to the blacktop/concrete.A big plus. Did you know that if you buy one of those big monsters' it's probably a 2 stage snowblower which will leave about an inch or half inch of snow.If you want to go to the bottom, you will still have to shovel the entire driveway to clear that last inch or so.Not with this Honda!!It's clean down to the bottom.
Unlike the giant machines, I can actually fold the push-handles down to fit it in my car trunk should I need to ever take it somewhere for service.With a big snowblower, you might have to pay someone to pick it up and deliver it home if you don't own an SUV/truck/Van...Also...bigger = heavier.Honda..is liftable.
So, if you live in Michigan or Minn. or upstate NY...this machinemay not be for you.But if most snows are under 7-8", then this is perfect. It can however still be used for a blizzard snow.
I've done this a couple of times.Just get out there more than once while the snow is coming down. (wind permitting).I actually cleared my 60 foot driveway of 24 inches of snow by going out 3 times as the storm started, midway lull and final when it was over.
Only downside.Does not cut through solid ice like big two stage machines.Also, a bit more work at the head of your driveway where the plows pile the snow from the street.For that, I just go at it slowly,and at an angle.
Based upon average snows, you will be much happier you have this machine rather than a giant iceberg cutter.
Highly recommended.My Honda's gotten me through 5 years of snow so far and never been in for service!
Last, don't be fooled by price.This is not an inexpensive machine.You can go to one of the major chains and see 2 stage giant machines for the same price as this honda.There's a reason for that.Bigger has nothing to do with reliability and practicality.Be warned if you are an impulse buyer; especially when it comes to snowblowers.Honda is a good bet!Some of those competitors machines which are 3 times as big may have you kicking yourself later.
