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

At Lowes today, I saw a 22" single stage snowblower equpped with the 205 cc Briggs snow engine.  It was branded under the Canadiana label.  In doing some research, it seems like briggs makes these snowblowers and brands them under several names such as Canadiana, snapper, simplicity, etc.  Does anyone have any experience with these units?   Price on it is $498 Canadian.

I'm a bit curious about these as well. They also sell them under the "B&S" brand at Canadian Tire for $550.  I wonder how easy it would be to find consumable parts such as the rubber auger and scraper bars.

I think Ariens might be selling a version of these snowblowers too under the Snotek label.

I bought one of these last year and made several posts concerning it . . . here's a link:

I was and am VERY impressed with this machine - in the context of the "right machine for the right job"...

You have to past the link text like you did there, then highlight the link text, then click the "Insert/Edit Link" button, then paste the link in there, then click OK, then click cancel, then click the "Insert/Edit Link" button again, then delete the void javascript garbage that is in the box, then paste the link in again, then click OK.

It truely is a very simply and easy process :)

Thanks for this - I think the link is available now....

That being said, I don't think I capture the "initial / original" post that had the pictures of the machine....

Oh, well, as the winter season comes upon us, I'll get more practice on the forum and hopefully get

back on track....

Cheers
