Couldn't be happier so far!
So I ordered this model even though it had no reviews at the time. I was looking at the comparable Toro and Snowjoe models, but couldn't bring myself to buy either since there were so many negative reviews in addition to the positive ones. I went with the Greenworks for two reasons: 1) The... -
What a great little machine!
I will start by saying I am a female and the primary user of this snow blower. I had an OLD Toro that I always fought with to start because either my arm isn't long enough or I just don't have the upper body strength to start the thing. I wanted something easy for me to start and that would...

I went to go use my snow thrower and the snow is to heavy/wet. It keeps getting impacted after only clearing about 5 feet of snow. So I stop, dig out the snow and try again only to fail. I gave up and just shoveled (ouch my back).
Other than using Pam or a similar spray …and keeping the chute at more of a 20% angle rather than a 35-45% that is about it.
The wet snow is the worst ……….
This machine is such a joy to use and just watch how it THROWS snow!
Can I use a snow thrower engine, which is designed for winter use, on a tiller in the summer?
Depending on the horsepower the shaft size may be different. Shouldn't be hard to find out the shaft size. With the numbers off of the engine you can go to outdoor distributors.com and look up the engine. It will give you a exploded view.

5 steel blade rotor throws snow up to 20 feet

It's snowing like crazy outside and I can't get the snow thrower to start because the button or primer bulb has fallen off. I can order a new part, but this will take a number of days.
The primer bulb is part of the carburetor/fuel system. It primes the carburetor. Depending on the engine it shoots raw gas into the throat of the carburetor for cold starts. Any small engine repair shop will have the primer bulbs in stock.

A tale of two snow blowers
Forget Dickens—this is more of an outdoor-gear spin on the Aesop fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” a moral lesson on the virtues of hard work and planning ahead. But in this case it was a snow blower and not a winter food supply that stymied the grasshopper. And the ant learned that, when it comes to snow-blower maintenance, there can be a downside to having the only working machine in the neighborhood.
It happened last weekend, when a snowstorm hit the New York tri-state area dumping about eight inches onto my neighborhood. I’d been keeping up maintenance on my 24-inch Yard Machines snow blower. And I knew that our next-door neighbors had a beefy Ariens, at least a 28-inch model, that they’d bought before last winter's many storms. With a driveway twice as long as mine, they need it.
But as I worked on our driveway, my neighbor suddenly appeared. Her husband was traveling, and she didn’t know how to start their snow blower. I followed her back to her garage and checked out the Ariens. Choke, primer, key ... pulling the cord brought not a hint of ignition. I pulled a few more times and then tried the electric start. Then I asked: Had they emptied out the gas after last winter? Even a model from a trustworthy brand, after all, needs human intervention to keep it running well.
