“DO NOT buy on-line from Sears.com”
I bought this snow thrower on-line because it wasn't available locally (it is not quite winter yet). I HIGHLY recommend that NO ONE buy large equipment items on-line and have it shipped to them. Mine arrived with broken and missing parts. UPS does not handle these items with any care or regard of the contents.
Go to the store and buy the item there. It will save you a ton of hassle, and about an hours worth of your time with having to deal with support in trying to resolve the situation.
I'll post another review after I use the snow thrower for the first time.
