Are you looking for a lawn mower, or did you want to buy overpriced junk? If you want a machine that doesn't work well, gives you mass quantities of problems, and guzzles your gas, look no further than Ariens. I bought two different units from them, from Home Depot. Unfortunately, they have been in the shop a number of times for the same issues: Overheating and carburetor problems. No customer service to speak of, and Home Depot didn't want anything to do with them. No more. I will soon purchase another brand, from another store. Don't buy anything from this company. Ever!
