I love my Deluxe 24". One thing to worth mentioning is the impeller and auger diameter are both 14". That is larger than any of the other competition. It definitely throws the snow far. I live in a subdivision with narrow lots and I have to be mindful of the chute deflector angle or I will be throwing snow on neighbouring driveways.
Good points thank you for your comment. it’s a beast for sure. I’ve been using it and I love it. The problem is the small little pieces that fall off that I’m not too happy about other than that. I think it’s built well.
I have a few other complaints. The fuel tank is too small, I blow snow for a few elderly neighbours and I can’t finish without having to refuel, it’s annoying since my old Poulan Pro held about twice the fuel. First gear is too fast, even after adjusting the friction disc as far as I can it’s still too fast, I want it to crawl for the large plow ridge at the end of the driveway. My shoot adjustment cable bent like yours after very little time and started to bind. I ended up using a couple of hose clamps and a nail to keep it straight and get rid of the bend. All that said, I find the machine well balanced and easier to maneuver than my old snowblower and it moves snow a lot better so overall Im happy with it.
@@bdawg8907 all good points , the cable is the part that just kills me . Its easy to make a longer guild . In fact i think I’ll make one and post a video. Thanks for the engagement it’s really nice to get such good feedback !
I have one and hate it. The stupid choke/speed control plastic twist dial crap. I also hate the plastic fuel knob which broke the first time I used it and needed to place a warranty call to get a new one. Like this is what we are paying premium $$$ for? Ridiculous!
I get it … it stinks when its make out of plastic on the knobs. I noticed when they started selling the units in big box stores they had to compete and it started going down hill
@@TheLawnMechanic The machine is great for snow and the engine starts with ease, and it looks well built but these plastic details really take away from what would have been a perfect machine. Certainly for the price this shouldn't be plastic!
that's all good if you have the money Im 100% on your side with this other than it is costly to go the Honda way. Im not sure Honda is making small engines any more. I think its coming to and end. Sadly
I love this machine ! Got through# 1 m of recently wet & deep snow in Ontario Canada almost a week of 2nd week of Dec. 2024 .
It’s a really good machine, other than the small plastic part that falls off for the gas valve. Thanks for posting.
The Composite Shoes are a game changer!
100% and they are inexpensive ! thanks for posting

Do you think these are overpriced?
