Say goodbye to frustrating, sweat-inducing pull starts--this compact, highly-maneuverable, single-stage blower is a cinch to get going. A simple push of a button activates the reliable electric starter. Equipped with a robust 5 horsepower engine, this snow thrower clears sidewalks, driveways, patios and porches in a fraction of the time required to shovel by hand. A four-cycle engine means no messy mixing of oil and gas. The manual drive system lets you regulate how fast the engine runs, while a self-pulling, rubber-edged auger lends positive traction to help propel the machine forward and leave a clean path behind. Clear snow as high as 11 inches, to a width of 21 inches. This YardMan snow thrower also comes loaded with thoughtful features. An auger/clutch control system keeps the engine running after the bail is released, eliminating the need to restart. A large handle makes it easy to pull the engine cord--even when wearing big, bulky mittens. The replaceable scraper blade is reversible to double its life. A folding handle minimizes vibration, plus saves garage space once warm weather comes. Best of all, the unit arrives fully-assembled with the oil needed for operation--so you can start clearing snow the minute it's unpacked. This outdoor tool weighs 80 pounds and is covered by a two-year, limited warranty. --Mary Park
