I performed quite a bit of research before purchasing a snowblower that I need and that will last. I chose this over the Husq/Poulan, Ariens, and MTD models because of the quality and the chute control. I also received the model 38622 model that comes standard with the light. I haven't used this thing yet, but plan on maybe 3-4 uses a year to battle the cold Nebraska winters.

My first snow thrower, I'm in salt lake city Utah, at about 4400 ft, We do get some big storms but mostly storms 6" or less. I wanted something that would handle every storm we get and I'm sure this will do fine.
It starts on the first pull, it's easy to operate, maintenance is easy, there is a drain tube sticking out the back so you don't spill oil when you change it. I love the tires they are very aggressive and get great traction. My driveway does not slope too much. It throws snow a mile, or like 30-45 ft depending on conditions. This blower is really fun to use, I look forward to snow storms because then I get to use my toy.
It is a little hard to turn, but something you quickly get used to. The build quality is fantastic, the features like Quick stick work perfectly, and effortlessly, the movement of the chute on the other blowers I looked at, was stiff and catchy, not smooth. You need this quick stick chute control because this blows snow so far you might have to grab it and aim the avalanche coming out of the chute in another direction to avoid covering your neighbor’s driveway across the street. It even did a great job on snow only 2" deep.
