CRAFTSMAN Select 24-in 2-stage Gas Snow Blower, Chainsaw

Cheap

Against my better judgement I bought this vs the Ariens 24".... as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Purchased new, it would not start, thankfully it has the electric starter. After 20 minutes I finally got it running. Gas was dripping out the bottom of the air filter area but stopped after running but a bunch of rusty water started dripping from the air filter area too. This would likely be ok for really limited snow (under 10") but could not handle old snow over 18". It just cli...

Horrible Delivery

Delivery was suppose to be December 12th. No snow blower and no contact from anyone. I called Lowe’s and they wasn’t able to tell me anything at that time. Saturday still no delivery and we got 4-5 inches of Snow!!. But I spoke with someone at Lowe’s that told me the shipping number and the delivery company that was suppose to have delivered the snow blower along with their phone number. The company was Estes Delivery. I called them on the following Monday and I was told it would be delivered ...

Worked fine until it didn't

Bought this 3 years ago and it worked fine one day and then the next day I had t go out and do more and it will no longer self-propel. It turns on fine. The snow throwing part works fine. It just won't move forward or backward. Bought it online and thought I'd always have a receipt to come back to, but Lowe's doesn't keep online order info after 2 years. Manufacturer won't help without a receipt, which I only found out after 4 hours of getting the runaround with their ridiculous customer service...

I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my previous Craftsman snowblower, which was ok and did its job, finally gave up after many years, I thought I should buy another one of the same, which I did in 2022, and now is 2025. This new one was weak from the start. It did not throw snow beyond a few feet and it died whenever I tried to take care of wet snow. every year it got worse. We are at the beginning of the cold season now and after one snow, I am seriously thinking of buying ...

Works Perfect

This thing rocks! It went through 12.5 inches of snow in Cincinnati like it was nothing. I was hesitant to buy from some of the reviews, but I figured out these people did not set their machine up correctly. I had to adjust the side guides for height and fill up the tires with air when I received it. You cannot speed through the snow! Definitely would recommend. It is not a toaster out of the box. You have to set it up correctly. It was not very hard to do......

Delivery Estimation A Little Off

Ordered snowblower that was out of stock. In checking back with the website, new purchasers were told possibly available on Saturday. Then the emails said estimated delivery date Tuesday. So in Tuesday, I check and it say Estimated delivery Wednesday. Lowe’s did not email me that the delivery date changed. Were I employed, this would be a big deal , arranging for Tuesday to be off. The application needs to be more proactive in notifying customer that the delivery date changed. The only way I k...

Great value for the money

I have used it twice. Each time it started with 1-2 pulls, even at 4° F. It didn't especially like 20-24 inches of snow with a crust on top, but I was at my remote cabin and didn't have a lot of choice. It did the job with a couple of passes. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles the expensive machines do, but it does the job. I highly recommend this machine.

Same machine, newer model

This replaces the same machine that I bought 20 years ago - that one finally gave up the ghost. This is pretty much the same, a bit lighter, but appears to be the same product. The other one came with the charging cord if needed, this one does not. Also, the plastic bag containing the manuals was left outside somewhere and they arrived drenched . . . two days to dry out and can now be read. Disappointing that Lowes would do that.

Decent Snowblower Not perfect but it's decent.

There are a few things about this snow blower id give 5 stars on. I had this snow blower for a year, and i have yet to break the original shear pins. I haven't had to replace the original ones yet. Shear pins are durable and sturdy (5 stars.) I finally to replace the original spark plug. Spark plug has a longtivity, and strong performance. (5 stars) Things id say definitely isn't what is described for the machine. 1. Can't handle wet heavy snow. 2. Loose auger belt and wheel belt. 3. Loos...

Used Item for Full Price

I bought this snow blower at full price (999.99) and had a "repaired" model delivered. The tag that came with it was weathered and worn (had been in the sun awhile) was marked as such. This unit also didn't come with a manual for the machine or the motor, which are both essential. I filled up the tank with fuel and made sure I had the correct and appropriate level of oil and tried to start it. No luck. This went on for 30 minutes. I followed all instructions in the manual I downloaded and still ...
