Installed the lighht according to instructions. Noted that it was made in China which was my first clue that I was in trouble. Plugged it into the alternator fired up the machine and had light for 3 seconds before the bulb blew. No instructions on how to replace it either. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!

I have to agree with the one poster regarding the chute control (side-to-side).  I originally purchased the Craftsman 26" without the power steering.  The chute control was apparently defective as it would barely operate even using both hands.  I went to the local Sears store to check out the snow blowers on the floor.  The 26" non-power steering model chute control didn't work as well.  Apparently, someone had put enough force on it to break the metal connection on the handle and it needed to be welded.  That's the explanation the Sears guy gave me for the poor performance.  I tried the...

The first unit that was delivered to my home had a leaking primer line, that was leaking gas. I called in and had it replaced with a new one as the service department wanted to change the carburator. I didn't pay all that money to have them take a new unit apart and change the carb. The second unit they sent me has a broken shute adjuster and will not move the shute position. I called again but now the unit is on backorder and will not arrive until Dec 15th, I hope this one does not have anything wrong with it. BTW I have been a mechanic for 32 years and ASE certified plus many many more so it's...

I purchased this product to replace an 11 year old Craftsman with a Snow King engine.  It was a 5hp and seemed to handle blowing snow just fine.  This one just doesn't have enough power.

CJR215's review was on point.  Ditto here.  Followed the instructions to the 't' with the same results.   Guess I should have been in the light bulb buiness.  It's time to see how cusotmer service works with finding a new bulb.

I bought one of these light kits yesterday and went to install it this morning on a 26" 2-stage 208cc Crafstman snowblower.  The clamp with the welded in nut apparently had screwed up threads causing the bolt to lock up and twist off the welded on nut.  So, I drive back to Sears and exchanged the first junk light for another light.  I get it home, test fit the clamp bolt (fits this time) and completely install the light.  I fire up the engine and the light works for less then 5 seconds then goes out.  I could see the broken filament vibrating in the bulb with the snowblower running.  I took...

I have a small one car driveway and about thirty feet of walkway. I never thought i would want or need a snowblower, but thought i would check the internet to see if there was an inexpensive way to get one. I ran across an add for the snow joe, watched a video on their website and purchased the 622u1 through sears. I am very pleased with the power and the ease of the unit. I would definately recommend it.

I just bought this one because my old one was broken last year.   It is very hard to start.   It is not powerful for snow.  I may return it later.
