Pros

    Electric Start, Various Speeds, Powerful, Heavy Duty


OCT
30
2008

The Craftsman 208cc 26" 2 Stage Snowthrower is heavy duty and the 208cc gas powered, 4 cyl., belt driven, electric start engine provides plenty of power to get through the heaviest of snow.

It is capable of clearing a 26" wide path with the curved blade.  This model has 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse.  It also has a joystick to adjust chute rotation and pitch as you are moving.

This model has a safety lock and safety override. 

When choosing a snowthrower be sure to purchase one that will definitely meet your needs.  If you select one and it is not powerful enough or doesn't have a good path clearing size, you may be sorry, as it probably won't get the job done.

This snowthrower is a heavy duty model and runs in the $800.00 range.  You may not need all the features of a heavy duty, so I recommend going to Sears and checking them all out before you buy.

I Think this guy blogs for Sears...he wrote it in October! How much snow did he get in October? And he says, "Go to Sears and see their other models..." Amazing how full of crap this guy is.

Ouch!!! That hurts!!!! I guess you won't be cruising around in the vette any time soon! Sit back, grab a bottle of brandy and just curl up for the night.

Seattle is like the southern hemisphere compared to Bellingham. They just issued a winter storm warning a couple of minutes ago. 50 mph winds and another six inches. I hate winter.

I can ship you my snowblower...we haven't had anything more than flurries. I watched the Seahawks game I think it was last week....heavy wet snow coming down during the entire game....I'd rather watch from my livingroom! lol

We had 2 more inches last night and now it's snowing hard again. I haven't seen my yard or driveway in weeks. This is pretty hard to take for a native California boy.

Ya know after coming home a couple of weeks ago, I never dreamed I'd be reading a snowblower review, but after 48 inches in 10 days, I find it's quite interesting.

My husband is a heart patient and I said we should get one for him to make it easier. He came home all smiles with this monster of a snowblower and talked all about it's power. It's way tooooo much for what we need...but not for him...he's very proud of it's power...lol

I'm glad I don't need one of those in Atlanta. :>

My husband bought it last year...it is way more than what we really need!

Sounds like a really good one. I had been courting the thought of getting one myself very soon.
