P.O.S.
By Lee(Owner), Jan. 22, 2014From the first time I used this snowblower I noticed that it while it does direct most of the snow thru the snorkel, it also sprays a significant amount of snow straight out from the impeller, which means you have to do your driveway at least twice.
I've had the 522E for about 3 years and I'm DONE with this machine. I will cut my losses and sell it this summer at our garage sale. Then I will go buy the Toro my neighbors use to clear their driveways in half the time. The attached pic shows the crappy job it did after the third pass! -
Excellent for smaller spaces
By Tom Wilson(Owner), Oct. 29, 2014My wife was after me to get her her own snow blower for the walk and wooden deck. I purchased this, but now I'm the one using it. I love it because it has a battery start, it light weight and maneuverable and can handle more snow than I thought it would. I use it on the front walkway from the driveway to the house and the rear patio.
I purchased it in 2010 (its now fall 2014). The only problems I've had are the angle of the chute won't stay where I set it (it needs a different lock washer I think) and this summer I noticed a bunch of oil leaking out of it (don't know why (yet).
