This is very basic. Only has a left right adjustment for the shoot. To adjust height or distance there is a wing nut screw you have to loosen.
$285 shipping so it's pretty much pick up only. Good find OP, I've been looking for this but no Menards around here.
You can never follow that MSRP crap. Who the heck knows where they even pull those numbers from. The biggest abusers, save for the current situation we are in, were always the auto manufacturers. Listing cars at $35,000 MSRP, meanwhile the price you actually pay on the lot could be $5,000 less assuming you aren't gullible and actually negotiate the price down.

I would never pay attention to the MSRP. This seems like a legitimate price for a snow-blower of this caliber. 20 years ago, my father paid $600 for a 6.5 HP snow-blower from Northern Tool. I used that thing up until last year when I finally went for something bigger due to the crappy winters we can sometimes get on Long Island. We get a lot of wet snow here, so I needed something, with a more powerful engine, that could throw it.

Times are rough when this price for a 24 inch snowblower is good. Before the pandemic, $400 is good price for a model such as the troy built 2410, with regular price being $599

I wish one of the battery powered two-stage (like the Ego or the new Ryobi) would go on sale, but that's not going to happen since the retailers cannot even keep them in stock. Guess they're on a freighter out there floating around outside of Los Angeles.

Is the Horsepower rating on this some state secret or something? Can't find that info anywhere. Otherwise, this does have electric start, so it's a bit more than "basic" and seems to be an overall great deal...
They don't on snowblowers. Too easy to game the #s. Torque is where it's at. I asked the same thing when I bought my Airens a few years ago.

Some things you shouldn't cheap out on, and this is one of them. Buy it once and for life. Ariens or Toro.

Yeah, manhandling a machine not up to the task is a death wish. Especially the older you get.

If I buy this I guarantee it won't snow this winter. That might almost justify the price. 🤔

I had that same problem with the wet spring snow we get here in the Rockies. There is a spray on non-stick coating that takes care of the problem. It's called DuPont Teflon Snow and Ice Repellant.
Wd40 works good for that as well

As long as everything is allowed in payments, everyone is screwed. Credit should be given to things only necessary for life. If something has to be on payments, likely you cannot afford and you should not afford it.
If that was the case 95% of people wouldn't have cars. 🙄

yeah manufactures now just list the cc of the engine. no longer make easily understandable/comparible info available. I found the same info illusive when buying a mower this summer.

Just opinion but I think the cheap China Motors/brands that don't produce alot of power per Cc started dropping hp listing. more Cc equals better now is genreal.thought even though its not always true.
