It seems well built. It got me kinda interested for the use of composite material and mixing of 2 stage in a single stage package. Almost picked one up just for grins. But I decided not to until I have a organized way of keeping more than 3 snowblowers. Unfortunately, our neighborhood doesn't allow detached outdoor storage or sheds.
Well the little Ariens threw me a curve,it worked great,but today
I went into my garage and low and behold fuel was leaking under it.
I wanted to shoot it!! What a mess,I think it's coming out of the carb.
I'll have to fuss and fiddle with it when it warms up.
