...oh well....would I buy this $599 Troy-bilt again, after having it for about four winters....yes, I would....it starts-runs-works....and so far this year....have never had to use the electric starter as it's always started up with the pull start....and it turns out that it weighs about 200-lbs as opposed to 150-lbs as posted earlier....but then again having heated handle grips seems like a super-duper idea....will just have to use this one until it is no longer working....being a thrifty NH-person......you know that snow-blowers seem to last for years and years and years....sort of like old BMW motorcycles from the 1960's....plus they can be repaired too

The Ariens compact 24" snowblower costs about $799 ....same price as the Husqvarna 24" ..... and most likely that both machines are more capable than the Troybilt 24" for $599....but that's the way the snow goes?
