Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Those are my feelings after I purchased the Craftsman 5.5hp gas snow thrower. With its powerful engine, wide tread tires, and wide mouth make this baby a dream to use! I actually enjoyed dealing with the snow covering my driveway! It handles well and throws the snow powerfully. The only thing I can gripe... read full review »

I bought this snowblower Christmas eve of 07'.  The augers have froze up atleast 5 times, so i have to take a blow dryer to unthaw before it will work again.  Finally 2 weeks ago the augers quit again, and this time the blow dryer didnt help.  Had to take it to the nearest Sears repair center about...

Buyers Beware

In a nut shell! This product and the others made by the same company from the 5.5HP to the 9.0HP are not worth the money. This product is of very poor of craftsmanship and lacks power. I bought mine in 12/06 and it never worked once. FOUR replacement snow throwers later and I still do not have a snow thrower that works.

The snowthrower that couldn't

This snow thrower only worked well the first year, then impossible to start. stay away from this thing. Fixed it by buying one with a Honda engine.

The best bang for your buck

This snow thrower is awsome. I live in Maine where the winters are not the worst in the world but harsh enough. I enjoy the easy and quick start. It has never bogged down on the heaviest of snow storms. I strong recommend this product. If you can get the encloser do so it helps in the blowing of snow on you.

Awesome Machine

Well we only have about a month left and I'm looking forward to using my 5.5 horse Snow thower. I've actually had this know for about two years. I do both neighbors house as well as my own and this thing has never gave me any trouble what so ever. I would say the only complaint is the reverse. It move pretty slow but I always just keep it in Neutal and back it up. It's quick light and durable. 5 gears in the forward position get you moving through that snow. Takes a minute to getting use to adjusting of the shute but once you get the hang of it there's no problems at all. Great Machine highly recomended... read full review »
