Easy to start. Lots of power.
5 Stars
Easy to start. Lots of power.
Lots of power. No slippage in transmission or tires while clearing a mound of packed snow left by the snow plough at the end of the drive. Went through it like a knife through butter! Delivery by Ceva Logistics was on time, almost to the hour. Assembly took me about 90 minutes, but I wasn’t in a hurry. The assembly instructions are terrible- just a series of diagrams. But I was forewarned by other reviewers so I checked you-tube for a video. Sure enough, Briggs and Stratton have an 8 minute video showing how to assemble this machine. Search for “ Briggs and Stratton model 1696619”. It does have an omission ( installing the lower handle ) but easy to figure out. I watched this a couple of times and was able to assemble the machine without relying on the printed instructions. Also, fitting the chute deflector cable, and routing the control cables, is not quite as shown in the video.Although I’ve only used it once, I am very impressed, and am now looking forward to the next storm!Update January 2022Just cleared my driveway after a major storm in Southern Ontario. This machine went through it like a warm knife through butter! No hesitation or slipping. Threw the snow 40 to 50 feet. Starts instantly and works perfectly. I really don’t understand the negative reviews. It is important for any snow blower to match the speed with the amount of snow - if you move too fast it will bog down and slip. Yes, some assembly is required out of the box, but it is not complicated, and there are YouTube videos showing how to do it.
