Worthless for "real world" application
I bought this based on good reviews to replace a Honda tracked blower. While it works great on fresh, light snow, it begins to smoke and can only throw the snow around 3 feet when it gets to the heavier snow pushed over by the plow (even if blowed immediately). I spoke to Troybilt, they told me it is only designed for fresh snow, not heavy or consolidated snow (despite the "harsh conditions" in the description). They were otherwise of absolutely no help. So if you have only fresh nice snow, I'm sure it's great. If you want to actually exit your driveway, not so much.

Unreliable machine
This is a very unreliable machine, and not worth the substantial price. This is the second winter we have this machine and yesterday was the first time we had enough snow to use it. As it has twice before, it broke after a single use. Every time we use it, we need to replace the auger belt. I contacted Troybilt today and was told this was considered "common wear." When I pushed back that single use for auger belts wasn't really acceptable for a machine of this caliber, I was told to have it inspected. That was the best they could do. Spend your money elsewhere.

2890 XP Snow Blower
Easy to assemble, less than 30 minutes. It starts right up every time. So far we’ve only had a couple of six inch storms, nothing big, and this guy just chews right through the snow.

Doesn't get any better folks
Have had unit, this will be my third year, nothing it won't handle easily. I have steep driveway, with D track no slipping or spinning. Takes the heavy stuff in stride. Zero issues
