Have any of you seen the December online issue of Consumer Reports? Snowthrowers are reviewed. Lots of facual errors. The have the retail price for the 828 oxe at $1,700. If you click on "shop for this item", more mistakes. They also have all models, at least the 2 stage models, rated poorly for sound. I'm wondering if this information was pulled from the days of when many of these brands used the Tecumseh L-head. Further, they have falsely listed certain models as having freewheel steering. Honestly, there are so many mistakes, that I wonder if they did any actual testing this year. Is the magazine in trouble financially?
I have used CR for may years and was disturbed to se this level of recklessness in reporting.
