Bought 24" blower used a total of 8 times and started with not being able to start because crack in primer hose. Next would stall for no reason and brought to a dealer near my home and discovered some small ball of grease in carb. Had heavy snow end of 2017 and made one pass in driveway where my main drive belt broke.Either bad adjustment at factory or dealership doesn't matter. Bottom line is nothing but problems with this machine. Called Ariens to tell my problems and they gave me no satisfaction. I told them they should be ashamed of themselves by charging $1400 for this product that is basically a piece of junk. Removed headlamp from machine because it would go on and off with the vibration and brought into a dealer for replacement.I'm afraid to use as what will happen next. Very very unreliable. Would never recommend this machine or company. Also weld on ager blade broke which had to be rewelded. What's next? Scott
