Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

If you could choose between the simplicity P1628E for $2050 and the simplicity pro11570E for $1900 which one would you pick?For an extra $150 you get the snow series max engine and electric chute rotator.Or would you forego those extras to have the crank chute rotator on the 11570E??Is the electric chute rotator thAT UNRELIABLE AND IF IT FAILS IS THERE ANYWAY TO ROTATE THE CHUTE?

Those model numbers look non-current, not sure what the specs are for each.

However, looking at their model designations, it would seem one unit uses the 11.5 torque engine and the other a 15.5? That's 249cc versus 342cc. The 305cc and 342cc are toting much more under the hood than a 249cc. Even more than the peak power differential would indicate; the 305cc power curve is flatter and of much higher operational quality. The 342 even more so.
