If your looking for a low-maintenance snowthrower that excells in light to moderate snowfalls and can deal with the electric cord, this is an excellent choide. I live in lower Michigan. Some years we get almost no snow but other years there will be numerous snowfalls. This can sit in your garage without a thought given to it and taken out whenever you need it. Plug it in and your ready to go. The day after I got it, we had 6 inches of moist snow and it went through it without a problem. You do have to have a place to plug in the cord and to position it so it is out of the way while your getting rid of the snow. But it is light and easy to maneuver. A great product for someone a bit older or lighter built. No worry about gas or oil or trouble starting it. The wheels are small and light but they are mostly used for backing up and turning around. This can handle a heavy snowfall but if you regularly get heavy wet snows you may wish to look into a bigger gas powered model.
Putting it together wasnt too bad. Took me about 20 minutes and I didnt have a problem. It is easier to have two people asembling it but one person can do it. A flashlight to help to see to align the holes for the bolt and a couple of pliers, one with a needle nose, to tighten the bolt, are helpful. But you can do without these items.
I am well satisfied with my purchase and feel it will serve my needs admirably.
