TOP CHOICE. Works consistently. The assembly is half done already, but it is better if it is assembled by pro. Easily beats packed and slushy snow without pain. Fresh and puffy snow is a delight to work with on that one. It works even better at any temperature if you give it 5 minutes to warm up. This 208cc engine features 9.5 foot-pounds of gross torque. It is easy to operate and maneuver for anyone + it is lightweight.
