Ordered one from HD also with their extra $10 Off. The AMEX discount already expired.
I bought one of these years ago from Costco but when we had no snow that year, I never opened the box and just returned it in the Spring.
Up until last year, I have been using a 5 or 8 HP Yard Machine from work but those are getting just too damn heavy especially when getting them off the truck with ramps.
This one will be fine and dandy for cleaning out the walk, parking spaces and deck.
Well the sale on the snow blowers is over. Congrat's if you got one. Now you need a pair of warm, waterproof boots if you are going to use it.
I picked up a decent pair of Khombu boots at the Columbia Costco for $30 last night. They only come in full sizes. I usually wear a size 9.5, but the 10's worked out fine for me. They are Thisulate lined and are rated to -20 degrees on the box (the website says -4 degrees). Of course, this is only good if you are a Costco member. http://www.costco.com/Khombu-Men’s-Leather-Boot,-Brown.product.100281497.html
