25 months and motor blow up!!! Husqvarna snowblowers are junk!!! they are the cheapest made snowblowers out there. Husqvarna made a good product many years ago but are making cheap crap now. They also do not respond to emails about help for there products. 1000 dollars down the drain now I have to buy a new snow blower but this time it will not be a Husqvarna.

After much investigation I purchased this machine Feb.07 and have used it quite alot. Although it has electric start I haven't needed to use it as it starts usually on the second pull. We have had six major storms here in NH so far this winter (Dec.07) and approx. 50 inches of snow here. No problems at all. Lots of power. Highly recommend.
