It's definitely not a "big" thrower from what I can see but perfect for the mild to moderate storm which, really, is most of them anyhow. It's also lighter than my big 10HP one so easier to maneuver.
Get it now, you're not likely to see a snow blower for this price for a long time unless it's one of those crummy electric ones (which are more trouble than they save). Heck, $230 for a 6.5 B&S 4-stroke engine is a nice deal if you need to replace on broken equipment.

The wife bought me a snow blower 3 years ago. We've hardly had any snow the last 3 years!

In for one for pick up later, green for OP. Looks like it can handle the snow here in PA.

who can tell what's the difference?
dumroo said: Looks very similar to this item - 4hp and mediocre reviews...

Does it snow in Florida ? Why would they sell them in FL ?

Sorry I don't even know where Palmer township is. You need to ask your neighbors.

IMO...its 230 bucks. I think its a great price, also has a Briggs and Stratton motor which are very solid and dependable. TO the wife and myself this was a no brainer. Will it tackle the blizzard that dumped 20 inches of snow as fast as a $1000 machine...NO
I really like the fact that you dont have to mix teh gas and oil, also it is light enough to handle. I am VERY confident in the motor and its ability to start right away, and that it will last
I also checked other brands with approx the same size motor, they go for about 600 ish and up
Again just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks a lot! But I still hesitate because this one looks almost same as the "Craftsman 4 HP Gas Snow Thrower" which is same price but the reviews are not good.

I read all the reviews on the other one.
Obviously the choice is yours...Good Luck whatever you decide... Look around and see what else is out there, and compare. Thats what I did, and for the money this won hands down.
Like you I wish this had more reviews, but the one it had was positive. I think if you look at it, that it will do the job, just not as fast as the big hogs. I think if you treat it right and dont beat the chit out of it, it will last along time. Hell if you get 4 years out of it, thats about 60 bucks a year. Keep in mind this model is for asphalt/concrete.

I just bought one. I have a sidewalk in front of my home and don't want to shovel snow at 5am.
Hope I made the right decision. Never been in snow in my life, not sure what to expect.
for those curious, i had another problem with mine, when the chute ring broke it also cracked part of the auger housing. I added the in-home servicing on it, so they're going to come down and hopefully repair it, but my blower has had too many problems this winter. very poor designing on craftsmans part.
