We have had it for 2 weeks. great snow throwing range. Useful and efficient cluthes for turning. Strong with nice big tires to pull through the snow. Makes snow removing easier.

A very good blower, 4 stars because of minor set up problems by whoever assembled it. (skids not properly set) Started 1st time with only 3 pulls and has ran flawlessly since.

Bought this Cub Cadet 26 inch with a 243 cc Motor this morning at 7 am from Home Depot. We were in the middle of a heavy snow here in the Detroit area. I didn’t want one. I have my trusty Toro single stage blower. But my wife convinced me it was time to buy a “Real snowblower” So my son and I walked in to HD and here was this beauty sitting there. We checked out how well someone put it together (nice work Hd)paid for it and was out in 15 minutes. Read the Manuel over a big cup of Joe and Went outside Checked the oil (came with it) added some fresh fuel, grabbed the extension cord, plugged it in, put on the choke. Pushed the primer 3 times pushed the start button and viola. Running. 1 minute on choke then moved to no choke. I was plowing. All within An hour. Now my son usually hates snow blowing but he saw the led lights and auto drive wheels and he took over. Yes it cut thru the 8 inches of heavy wet snow with no problem. I highly recommend this as your main blower. Main blower? Yep you still need the old toro for the porch and tight areas. Also some dummy drove up and down the driveway and there were packed down areas from the tires. The Cub won’t go down to the cement on packed surfaces like the toro with the rubber paddles. So I am very happy I got up (too early on a Saturday)and bought this Cub Cadet. I highly recommend it.

This machine throws the snow better than Tom Brady in a Super Bowl comeback! It cuts through snow like Julian Eldelman crossing through a defense. It’s tougher than a Gronk spike. This machine works better than a deferred coin toss from the start. If you want a winning snow blower this is the machine for you.

This snowblower survived and thrived in a wicked Wisconsin winter! We had tons of snow all winter (set records) and this snowblower took it like a beast. Had no mechanical issues and no parts broke or had to be replaced. It is a heavier machine, but easily started and ran without issue. I used this to not only clear my 3 car driveway, but 2-3 neighbors driveways on our street during big snow storms. It easily cared for any snow in its way. The only thing I would make better is that the gear engage lever seemed to not give good speed adjustments – I could go really slow and then the next gear up it went too fast. Overall a great machine that I’ve been happy with all this winter through to our recent April blizzard!

This is by far the most feature-packed snow blower available at this price point. It’s only missing hand warmers; everything else is there: power steering, electric start, dual LED headlights, poly skid shoes, tall tires with deep and grippy tread. It recently cleared 6″ of wet, heavy northeastern snow with a sheet of ice on top off of my steep, 120′ driveway with ease. The most frustrating part of the process of purchasing and using the machine was waiting for it to come back into stock after it sold out. Fortunately, a store near my house was able to deliver it before the next storm hit.

This is an update of my December 9, 2018 review where I stated the snowblower would not start. Cub Cadet responded with a case number 04349005. I was finally able to get my snow blower started today. I found the drain screw for the carb, drained out close to a cup of gas and tried starting it. It didn’t start, but I was encouraged to go further when I saw that this model did NOT have the carb bolts coming through the shield as I’d seen in a youtube video. This told me that the carb stays on when the shield is removed. I removed the four bolts and pulled up on the choke knob. Then I worked a little bit to discover that the speed lever stays on and pulls through the cover via a slot in the middle. Then I unscrewed the plastic “throat” over the carb, put the shutoff key back in and hit the starter while I gave it a shot of starter spray. IT STARTED! Used a wide blade screwdriver to adjust the choke and let it run. No need for $150 service call or renting a truck to take it for service.
