We had a lifted truck douche with a ton of snow/ice on his truck and a big chunk flew off and hit our windshield. Luckily it didn't crack but it scared this s#!t out of us Quote Link to comment

desertshox Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 At least he cleaned off his windows. Could have also been one of those douche nozzles that clean off just enough to see in front of them. And if they had snow where I am in AR, the place would be shut down for a week or more.

Second battery is another $280. https://www.amazon.com/PowerSmart-24-Inch-Self-Propelled-Cordless-Included/dp/B0B9RWHYNM/ref=psdc_3043481_t4_B01MYURMK7?th=1 I am so happy I finally pulled the trigger on this thing after 26 years of home ownership. Used it three times this week already. Today was rough. The drifts were so high the battery died before I could finish my sidewalk. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't need to worry about a gas engine starting and it's relatively quiet while using. Quote Link to comment

The other battery is still working fine and I love the snowblower otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oooh, I like that it has chute aim and deflector controls up on the handle. My gas one has this awkward rotary hand crank for the chute and it will only stop with the crank handle in the down position. Often this doesn’t leave the chute in the best position. And the deflector has to be adjusted by hand. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Why does it seem like blowers break all the time? 1 Quote Link to comment

And the deflector has to be adjusted by hand. It took me a few tries to figure this thing out, but I've got to the point where I can flip the chute 180 degrees without killing the safety switch. And today, with the 25+mph winds, I learned it didn't matter if I had the launch angle at the ground or up high. That powder was going wherever it wanted to go.

I need this thing to last through a few more winters. Your back is only warrantied for so many miles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Fired up my Ariens mid-November (started 1st pull) when I moved the lawnmower to the back of the garage and the snowblower to the front. And I haven't used it yet this season (I probably need to start it to run some gas one of these days). I live 350ish miles northeast of you Nebraskans. Looking out my window I can still see the top of the grass in the yard. We were supposed to get 3"-6" yesterday and didn't get a single flake. We got killed last year, so I am loving this winter (up until the wind/cold coming in today). 1 Quote Link to comment

In the past when this has happened to me, I used a snow shovel to knock down the drift, snowplow the knocked down snow, repeat. 2 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We hadn't had snow since October but it took me forever to shovel the driveway and the sidewalks, so I said "f#&% it" and bought a Kobalt one. We haven't had snow since, but we got a whole inch, maybe 2, of dry powder last night. Not worth breaking it out. Maybe I'll get to use it someday lol 2 Quote Link to comment
