Customers find the snow blower hard to use. They mention that the auger was literally not turning while they were using it, the wheels stopped strongly spinning, and the blades would not turn. They say the wheels don't spin independently, so you have to drag it around to turn it. Customers also say that it's a little tough to get moving and a pain to drive.

Customers are dissatisfied with the damage of the snow blower. They mention that the casing was cut, the steel cable was bent at a 90-degree angle, and the bracket that held the cable was badly bent.

Received damaged - needed parts are obsolete!!!
2nd UPDATE: B&S did right. They sent the part free of charge. I installed it and all is good.UPDATE: B&S has agreed to send me a new wheel/tire... but.... they are out of stock have no idea when they will any to ship to me. It has been a month now and they still have no idea when they will have any stock. The snowblower arrived damaged and I didn't notice. The right wheel/rim is bent and tire wont hold air pressure. I thought I would avoid the hassle of returning the snowblower and just buy a replacement tire. Only... The tire/wheels are not available anywhere and the recommended Briggs and Stratton repair parts site says it is obsolete. It a brand new snowblower! What a mess!
