Craftsman 9 hp Gas Snow Thrower —
After the second snow storm in the Colorado Springs my neighboorhood was buried with snow. I was sick of shoveling and went out and bought this monster. I was able to cut thru 5 feet of snow (three feet of old ice snow, and 2 feet of new soft snow). This sucker plowed thru it and did not bog down once. The tires were a bit slick and had to make several passes as a result. Easy to use with lots of power. The core system in this machine is identical to the consumer reports best buy. Looking forward to using this tomorrow to clear my mothers driveway and side walks tomorrow.
