  • An impressive little machine!
Style: Remote Deflector Size: 208cc
I am posting this review having used my snowblower one time. I will update this review on the durability of this snow blower after I've used it for a season. 1) Overall Quality - The overall quality of this machine seems quite good. It comes in a big box - the auger, impeller and drive mechanism are fully assembled with the assembly process being to attach the handlebars and chute (and route the control cable and light wiring). The overall fit and finish of this blower is quite good. It is made in China, but it's difficult to find an american built snowblower these days. 2) Assembly - I did not find this to be very difficult. If you're familiar with working on power equipment, it should go fairly easily. I have a fair amount of professional mechanical experience. The only challenge to assembly is the correct routing of the chute control cable. 3) Initial startup and use - The engine comes with oil in it. The engine manual states that you must check the oil level - mine was perfectly fine. I added fuel to the tank and hit the electric starter button. The engine fired up immediately in an off beat putter which settled immediately to a smooth idle as I turned the choke off. The choke is a red plastic knob that feels a little flimsy - I'd probably avoid using it with heavy gloves for fear of breaking it. I drove the machine around my driveway a few times and noticed that the transmission seemed to be slipping slightly. I noticed that the drive cable did not seem to be very tight so I adjusted the drive cable and went around my driveway again - no further slippage was noted. 4) Overall useability - I think this machine will do a great job for my small driveway. It is important to keep in mind that this machine has only a 24" swath. If you have a massive driveway, this machine isn't going to work. Also, if you live in an area of steep hills, the friction drive transmission will probably prove fragile if you try to take full swaths while climbing hills. Lastly, this machine does not have differential steering. You turn this machine by skidding one tire. It's a small machine, but it does take a little bit of brawn to move the thing around a tight corner. 5) Overall rating - I rate this machine as 5 stars because I really like it. I've yet to have a big snow, but I was able to clean up a few icy mounds on my driveway and this machine absolutely hurled the slushy mess 20-40 feet out of the way. I think it's well made with a few design limitations that I was aware of when I purchased it. I'll follow up with a comment in a few months on how this machine holds up. ... show more

  • Decent snowblower for the price, could be better if B&S didn't try to save few cents
Style: Remote Deflector Size: 208cc
I got this directly from Amazon to be prepared for future major snowfalls - we don't have them very often here in NY, but even one of them can occasionally dump a couple of feet of snow. Back to the snowblower itself. First, the price: I managed to order it for about 670 dollars BUT the price and the stock availability may vary so if you're not in a rush - wait for it to be priced lower than what you might see now. Now the assembly part: contrary to some other people's experience I didn't need to spend much time assembling this model. Yes, the included paper instructions aren't very detailed, however we live in 21st century now, meaning there is a VERY detailed and thorough assembly video available on YouTube, made by B&S themselves. B&S actually has this video embedded on their site, right on the description page for this specific model. Just watch it a few times, pause whenever you need to and you can finish assembly in an hour or less. Watch out, though - you need to follow the exact steps, ESPECIALLY when it comes to torquing the certain nuts and bolts. Unfortunately the included nuts and bolts are pretty poor in terms of quality so make sure to tighten them up VERY carefully, to a specified torque value. I learned that fact the hard way (stripped a few of the bolts/nuts and trying to remove something like a lock nut with nylon insert from stripped carriage bolt was extremely annoying). Fortunately you can easily replace most of the included nuts and bolts with standard M8-sized ones in case if you break some of these. As to the actual performance of the unit - I can't really say much because I haven't had the chance to test it on real snow yet. But the engine is very easy to start, even with recoil (pull) start, and everything (including LED headlight) seem to operate well so far. All in all it's a pretty decent unit for the price, although B&S can make it even better by, for example, including the link (with QR code) to the assembly video in their paper manual, as well as using a better quality nuts and bolts instead of fragile stuff they currently include with this unit. ... show more

  • This thing is a beast!
Style: Remote Deflector Size: 208cc
This is my first snowblower/thrower and so far, it is great! It was ordered on Christmas, so the scheduled delivery slots were a little backed up. So, I just followed the tracking with the provided link and picked it up from Pilot's local distribution center when it arrived. It is heavy and comes in a fairly large box, so you will need a pick-up or a trailer if you choose this option. Assembly wasn't too bad, although the included instructions leave some room for interpretation. Basically, you have to attach the chute and handlebars as well as hook up all of the cables. Other reviews mention that it may or may not come with oil; mine did and it was at the appropriate level, just to the top of the markings on the dipstick. I have to admit that I have not yet tried the electric start as mine has always started on the first or second pull. Anyway, this thing is a beast! The last time I used it was after getting 9-10 inches of wet, heavy snow. This thing was able to power through it with no problems, never getting clogged. However, you need to use some common sense. I only throw snow in first or second gear, and if it starts to bog down, I just let go of the drive handle and leave the blower engaged to let the blower catch up. Also, if you are going to clear a larger pile, such as the present the snow plows leave at the end of your driveway, just take it in smaller bites. Now, in all fairness, I must mention that you do have to "manhandle" this thing as it weighs about 180 lbs. and there is no power steering, etc. This is not a problem for me, but it could be if you are more experienced in life or have back or upper body injuries, etc. If you are at all concerned, I would recommend going to a local home or power eqipment store and "test driving" one of a similar size before you order. ... show more
