Wrong item pictured on Lowes site

I don't know how the snow blower functions, but I wanted the 518 ZE which is shown in the picture on the Lowes site. I recieved the 518 ZR which does not have a power start. I wanted the power start and now I have an expensive machine I didn't order. I am not happy with the misrepresentation of the wrong machine.

Okay snowblower HORRIBLE service, faulty assembly

I chose the free product assembly and the store broke or lost multiple parts and did not put it together properly. They faked it to make it look right (bolted on parts that look right but are not fully functional). Then when I found this out when I went to use it, and took it back, they refused to take it back, to credit me, or provide me the parts to fix it myself. Their online service people were no help either. There are 300+ new units in overall Lowe’s inventory. Fixing it would have been e...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my cub cadet 3X broke again, I needed a snowblower while I waited for parts. I called Honest Engine in Layton Utah after seeing it on line. They had one in stock, they showed it to me, explained it, started it, and I took it home. We live on a side street without a curb and gutter, so Layton City leaves a 4' wide strip of snow full of sand and salt and big chunks of snow in front of the mailbox that needs to be removed. It handles all of t...

Avoid

If the snow is slightly wet the chute will clog up constantly have to clean tge shute so annoying.

Great little machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this size snowblower because I didn’t want to drag out my big snowblower for small snow accumulation. But I have just been using this machine for all my snow blowing. Works great.

Machine is easy to start!

Got it assembled from the people at Lowe's and picked it up after work one evening. Lowe's personnel put it in my car and I didn't even have to get out of my seat. Curbside service was amazing! Product runs well. After I filled it up with gas, it started on the second pull and then when I tried the electric start, it worked on the first try. Machine is light enough to be pushed by a smaller individual and easy to start. Haven't received any snow since I got the snowblower.

Only 55lbs

I purchased this solely based on the weight as it has to be lifted over my pickups siderails. So far after 3 sidewalks I am impressed as to the distance it threw the snow. Snow was dry so we will see on this next storm as to how it does with a wet snow.

Broken gas cap, scratched body, and peeled

I purchased a new gas blower for my husband. On Christmas morning, he opened the box to find a shattered gas cap, scratched body and peeled logo stickers. Highly disappointed. WHY would Lowes ship a used product when I clearly paid full price for a brand new snow blower? It's going back today.

Not as good as my previous Toro snowblower.

It doesn’t clear all the snow, too much shoots behind. You have to go over the driveway twice to get it clean. Not nearly as good as the previous Toro I owned and used for nearly 25 years.
