What Customers Are Saying
The snow blower has mixed reviews. Many customers are satisfied with its performance, describing it as efficient in clearing snow, even heavy and wet. Users appreciate its ease of use, such as the electric start and multiple forward speeds. However, a significant number of customers have experienced issues with the assembly and setup, including missing or incorrectly installed parts, and problems with components like the shift cable. Some had to return the initial unit and get a replacement. There are also reports of the snow blower breaking down or malfunctioning after limited use. While the snow blower works well when functioning correctly, the quality control and assembly concerns raised by multiple customers are a significant drawback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this two years ago and was so impressed and what a beautiful machine only ran it 15 minutes job was done and didn’t use it last year but we got over a foot of snow and the only war it will run is by holding the primer button in otherwise it dies ! All that money and here I am having to shovel all this snow while I’m in bad health !

Don’t Buy!!! Waste of $$$$
Bought this 2 years ago (maybe 3). This is only the 5th that I have ever used it. Just like every one else, it will NOT start. It’s like throwing money out the window.

Chute malfunction
The pitch lever used to move the chute deflector freezes up and won't move. This is unacceptable. I've been told there is a repairman for craftsman is 20 miles away and does not do pick-ups!! I have no way to move a snowblower and it's only a year old. I am a 70-year-old widow and thought I would be able to be self-reliant with this machine for more than one year. I think I will have to see how to return if possible unless there is some kind of solution. Too expensive to just ignore. I will t...

Can't get much better than this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had our snow blower for 20+ years and still runs as good now as it did when we first got it. Have never had any major issues with it and always starts with 1 or 2 pulls of the cord. Could not ask for a better constructed machine!

Good Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had mine for 5 years or more. I live in Michigan and we get heavy snow. My snow blower still works perfectly. No problems. I help my neighbors when we get lots of snow. It’s a good machine if you do the maintenance.

Awful
Bought this select 26 snowblower two years ago. Trying to get it prepped for the winter. Last year ran into issues with starting after sitting all summer long. This year the same. Can’t believe after that much money this product won’t start again.

Good Product, Well Priced
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought mine last year at the start of the season worked great, had one issue where the belt was slipping in reverse, after letting it sit for a week it started working again, my guess is some water or ice was on the belt. I've seen people having some problems with it after a year, personally I haven't had an issue. Starts 1st pull after priming 2-3 times
