Purchased the Craftsman 208cc 26" 2 stage snowblower in December 2008, used it about six times, the electric starter no longer engages to start engine. Will have to bring it back to Sears for repair. Bad situation to be in during a Minnesota winter. Will have to manualy start until I haul it to Sears.

Cheap plastic chute assembly does not stay in place (right or left), tried to adjust chute control to no avail. Poor design.

Plastic skid shoes wearing out quickly on concrete driveway. poor design again. 

Would not recommed this snowblower. Bad $800 investment.
