The other issue I find with the machine is it is ridiculously heavy and while I understand you need to let the machine do the work there are times you need to push or pull the machine and the heavy weight makes it a bit of a workout.
Overall I would not purchase this machine again.

My 16-yo Ariens has heated handles.
I love them.
Mine is a 300lb machine and I do lock the axle for better traction, so it is not easy to move and is definitely a workout. I prefer to keep yard equipment simple. The fewer motors the better. I see some have electric chute orientation, fuel injection, etc. No thanks.
