Snowblower Reviews

Love it.
By Christian Jensen(Owner), Apr. 4, 2011
I purchased this machine in late November when we were haveing some pretty heavyduty snow days. We had 12 to 14 inches of heavy wet snow with a couple inches of slush under it.
I couldn't believe how well the machine worked. I did learn real quick which way to move the chute with the wind blowing.
It never clogged once. Which totally amazed me.
I plan on getting several years of use from my machine.

Junk
By Tom(Owner), Dec. 20, 2012
The friction drive on my 3 year old snapper snow blower has failed. This is a known problem (defect in manufacturing or design) and requires resolution only by an authorized service center that has access to the secret fix-it bulletin. So until my authorized service center gets to it, I am stuck without a snow blower and with the costs of hauling it in for service (Yes Snapper apologized for the inconvenience but wont pick up my costs to haul it around or get my driveway plowed out). So other than fact that the wheels don't turn; it works great (as a boat anchor?). Wouldn't waste my cash on one again and suggest you don't either.

Best Blower for the Money
By Luke Okes(Owner), Jan. 25, 2016
I have owned this for about 6 years and usually need it only once or twice a year in VA. Have needed it every week for about 5 weeks in a row one year and I have never had any issues with this blower. I find the controls easy to use, good range of motion for the chute, and plenty of power to throw the snow where you want it to go. Best on light powdery snow but will get the job done on heavier snow too. You do have to watch letting the chute get clogged if you are trying to throw wetter snow with ice in it. The multi-speed forward and reverse help set your personal pace. The tires grip well and the skids allow the collector to get right down to the ground. I researched a lot of snow blowers before I bought this one and I am completely satisfied with the Snapper. Make sure you empty the tank of gas and store the unit with some type of fuel stabilizer and once you prime it 6-8 times she will start right up after only 2 or 3 pulls. I did not opt for the electric start accessory since I do not live up North. If you are long armed like me be careful not to pull the cord too hard as it has a shorter pull than you may expect.
