Little known fact (perhaps) --
If you buy a "Name Brand" machine at a Big Box store remember that it is not going to be of the same quality you would get from a dealership or dedicated retail store. This is true of not only for snow blowers but also major appliances.
The models that the Big Box stores carry are typically a negotiated priced/ features piece of equipment (or appliance) that is mass produced exclusively for that chain.
I am not saying that this is either good nor bad to most .... but I got burnt when parts weren't available for an Ariens I had purchased many years back ---- I have since moved over to a dedicated Retail store.
