Title: Don't waste your money.
Review: We get very little snow, maybe one or two significant snowfalls per year, so I opted for the electric. Bad idea. Used it twice the first year ok. A fair bit of snow would always come out the front of the unit and land on the side you had just cleared - frustrating. The second year the motor started slowing on the first job and then stopped and smelled like it was burning. The motor is supposed to have thermal shutoff protection but that never seemed to work. I let it cool off and got it to start again by spinning the motor by hand - real convenient! It stopped again and smelled like it was burning again. Can't get it restarted. Checked on repalcing the motor and the spare part is more than the unit itself was. Rip off! To the garbage it goes.
