I don't like that it's so long, people complain about turning conventional blowers as it is. More weight is always good - except when it's off. Single stage means it will probably pump slush rather well. If that was shorter it would be really nice.

Who the hell let all the morning people run things?

My father in law has one. The engine has performed well, but the chain case has been an issue. The original sprockets wore down after one winters use and were replaced with sturdier ones. The chain was replaced as well because it kept slipping and was damaged in one of the slip offs. As to function, his driveway is long and flat and at his age he said it handles pretty well.
