Shipping Details

The 28-in. 357cc Electric Start Three-Stage Snow Blower eliminates pull-starting a cold engine. Its three-stage design is great at breaking through the barrier of icy snow left by the plows at the end of your driveway. Its powerful third-stage accelerator combined with its self-propelled drive, featuring 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, provides control and versatility in any winter condition allowing you to break down and quickly clear heavy, wet snow. The single-hand control locks in speed, freeing the other hand to operate chute and pitch control with ease. The extended chute and 4-way chute control puts snow where you want it, while the power steering allows you to maneuverer through turns with the touch of a finger. A 28-in. clearing width and 21-in. intake height provides oversized clearing which means less time out in the cold. Its adjustable poly skid shoes eliminate garage rust stains and protect surfaces from scuffing.

What Customers Are Saying

The 3-stage snowblower has received mixed reviews. While some customers found it struggled with wet or heavy snow, frequently clogging and jamming, others reported it performed well and was easy to operate. The machine's power and snow throwing distance were also inconsistent, with some users dissatisfied. Overall, the quality and reliability of this model seem variable, and it may not be suitable for all snow removal needs.

Great machine! Love Craftsman

Would Recommend

very powerful, steering option is a great thing to have, chute handle sometimes hard to move left or right only because of design, heavy so take 2-3 people to pick it up at store

powerful

Would Recommend

This snowblower works so great. I have some mobility issues and it is so easy to control accurately. Have used 6 times in heavy and light snow and have yet to have any clog issue that I saw in older reviews. only problem was who Lowes had deliver it. Estes was 10 days late and I had to shovel or hire a plow for a week long snow storm and it arrived after that... I was not pleased it wasn't delivered when I had expected it and lowes support did nothing except shift blame. never ordering del...
