    I just love learning from you, whatever it happens to be!! Sadly I cannot afford a snowblower but will resort to the old shovel and sweat to do the job. And yes, I could hire a "guy" but do you KNOW how many calories you can burn in an hour of shoveling? Its better than raking and I can't wait for the first snowfall! Thanks for info, though, Honda makes good stuff!! ☺

    I didn't know Honda made snowblowers.

  • Tony Jingo10/15/2010

    Thanks for the review..I'm bracing myself for another NYC winter ;-)

  • Mae Wong10/14/2010

    Wouldn't need this if I was still fascinated with snow.. darn! Kidding, this sounds like a very "man" gadget though. All the specs and such. I think women would just ask questions like "How fast can I get back in to do my makeup and hair if I purchase this?" :)

    Very technical, great read. Wont be long and we will all be troubleshooting our snow blowers.

  • Jaipi Sixbear10/14/2010

    Great details on snowblowers. Denver gets dumped on a few times a year but it goes away pretty fast. Now, if I was still in upstate NY, I could put a snowblower through its paces, for sure.

  • Dina Quirion10/14/2010

    Excellent... :o)

  • Mary Oberg10/14/2010

    Hope we never need to buy this!! We still have 2 hardy snow shovelers here and not too much snow in KC most winters!

    I'm nowhere near PA anymore.
