This machine was put to the test with about 20 inches of powder snow. My driveway is a gravel 200 foot long steep hill. I was certainly skeptical about the majority of machines being able to complete the job. With a ton of research I came across this beautiful blower that matches my cub cadet zero turn that I purchased last year. Before the first use I checked oil which was full and then filled the gas tank. I plugged in to use the electric start. The blower fired to life almost instantly. Without chains on the tires it was able to go up and down my driveway with no issues at all. The bright lights are a great addition as I found myself blowing snow at 7 o’clock at night after work. Heated handle grips kept my hands very warm the entire time. This blower is easy for anyone to use. Once you know the basics of how snow blowers function you can easily avoid problems other customers were leaving bad reviews about. I would highly recommend this snow blower and will continue to purchase cub cadet products in the future.

Just had to borrow my neighbors Honda because my Cub Cadet continuously clogs. If the snow is even remotely heavy or wet the machine clogs. I hate it!!
