YARDMAX Yb4628 18-in Single-stage Push Gas Snow Blower

Great Little Machine

I bought mine in 2017 and never had 1 problem yet but I can fix things easily. This is not a perfect assembly and is done on a Chinese Assemby plant where it seems quality control is lacking. If your not abusive with it and I've moved 3 feet of snow with this machine it will run but no snow so few hours on it now. It's not worth anything like it's advertised. I paid just 200 for mine new so!

Many problems

We purchased snow blower in December 2020. It was difficult to assemble, so we brought it to our local Lowe’s. Used it a couple of times. This season it won’t start. After being referred to various places and speaking with 2 representatives, the third one, customer support 847-327-0566 said the agent has hung up, goodbye. This is totally unexceptionable!

Works good but cheaply made.

Used one season. In that time, most of the screws vibrated loose, the wheels fell off and the chute handle broke off. The screws need to be tightened after a couple uses. To fix the wheels, I drilled holes in the axle and added washers and coter pins. The chute handle was JB welded back on. Will see how long it lasts.

CP-Snow Blower

I have not used my Snow Blower, because after I bought the Snow Blower, it stopped snowing. I hope it is good.

Great Price

We just had new sidewalks put in our neighborhood recently and I was looking for a reasonably priced snow blower. This was the perfect size machine small enough to fit between my cars parked on driveway. Already used machine on last 2 snowstorms of 6 " plus of snow. Machine just performed perfectly. Money well spent in my eyes.

Broke Down

This was a gift for my husband who has back problems. I gave it to him for Valentines Day! Wouldn't you know it after the second use, 1 wheel, the shovel and screws that hold them in place came of in the snow. The blower was working beautifully. We couldn't find the screws that fell off while he was snow blowing. We ended up taking the unit back to the store for a refund. All units were sold out, so we couldn't get a replacement.

Great purchase!

Very glad I picked this up. First use was in Pennsylvania's second record snowfall - cleared 8" then used it to fight through the final 14". Second use was a much easier 3" and the little scamp worked GREAT. I think it will take care of anything up to the top of the intake, so 8" or so. Very happy that my days of shoveling are now just clean-up! Easy start, a little loud, but nothing obnoxious. Great features - just what I need, nothing extra to break. Just keep the chute clear and if it ...

Tough machine with some flaws...

Seems quite solid and set up was relatively easy. The snap clips for the wheels was a little tricky. Too bad the chute didn't at least have a crank to rotate but it seems easy enough to move manually. The orange plastic covered wingnut for the chute angle seems to be a reject for it cannot tighten down enough to hold an angle setting. I have solved with some metal washers but too bad. Overall, tough machine for 8-12"...
