Craftsman 26&#34 208cc* Dual-Stage Snow Thrower —

I have used this twice since my purchase. The first snow was a 11 - 13" with drifts to 18" and it gets through just fine. The set up went very easily except for the strange bowtie cotter pin clip. The operation was very easy to get accustom to and I cleared a 250 foot drive and apron in about 35 minutes. The chute joystick adjustment works well after getting used to its operation. I found that the chute doesn't hold the maximum right or left setting but in puffy light snow it can throw 20 to 25 feet. I found that the engine is strong, but I am not accustom to the new (lawsuit caused) avoidance to list horsepower ratings. The 208 cc is however strong and didn't have any trouble moving the road plows heavy snow at the end of the drive. At this time nothing negative.
