5.5 HP 2-Cycle 21" Single Stage Snow Thrower with Electric Start - bought it about 7 years ago, had moved into a home with a 2xs lot size,alot of front sidewalk to plow! Have not even changed the spark plug,never oiled it, no maint. given what so ever. Have done my friends on both sides and 3 across the street for last 3 years ( they have long driveways,I don't ) had a friend use it for 9 office buildings he was plowing the lots with his truck,you have to do the walkways and some go around the buildings. He said it went through everything including drifts easy, I'v gone through drifts too. It is a very good tool to have in an Indiana winter!

If you do not receive ignition keys you can't use the machine!!
Seller did not follow up with ignition keys!
Item is rated one star because I was not able to start it without keys!
Thankfully there was not enough snow that is was needed!

In my estimation the machine is over-priced by $200. Also, I have to use starting fluid before it fires; I'm talking 25 degree weather!

I COULDN'T CLEAR 4" OF SNOW,IT DOSEN'T THROW SNOW AT ALL IF IT IS MIX WITH SOME WET SNOW.
YOU HAVE KEEP CLEARING THE SNOW FROM THE AUGER.
I TRIED TO RETURN IT,BUT BECAUSE I USED IT AND IT HAS SOME GAS AND OIL IN LINES AND TANK,NEED SPECAIL PICK UP.

This thrower did a good job with everything I needed it to do , like clear my driveway and sidewalk of a 12 inchs of heavy snow . A truly easy way to clear snow.
