Comment:
I have used this honda at 3 different homes over the last 5 years, and at some properties i own..works like a champ...last year we had heavy snow and lots of it, worked just fine, always started up on first pull , even sitting for a time in the shed..haven't changed the plug yet, runs on gas, no messy mixing oil. Love it!!

Comment:
Gets the job done quickly with 4 or less and adequately with 5-7. Does slide around a bit on downhill surfaces but every paddle blower does. Best in class starting with pullcord, but I'm glad I got the electric start for the wife. I wish the chute handle was shorter or had a crank adjuster. Tried for a year to find one used, but to no avail.

poor design

POOR DESIGN
Best Uses
Snow removal in Florida
Comment:
great engine, everythingg else is bad, the shoot handle will not allow you to blow away from a vehicle, it hits the car, the wheels and axles cannot handle anything they crack and bend. The scraper on the bottom bends anytime you pull in something other than snow. I have two toro's and never had a problem with them, I needed a 3rd machine and bought this because CR had it as equal to a toro. Very big mistake on my end, I called Honda and told them about these issues
