Honda HS520AS Snowblower

$799.00

The Pros:4-cycle engine on a single-stage thrower is a rare treat. No mixing of gas and oil required. Metal chute. Look at ANY of the single stage throwers around, most of them are plastic which can break when ice/chunks pass through. Honda small engines are great quality.

Electric start if needed. Plug it in and start it up, but the thing starts on the first crank. Very nice!

Have used it for 10 years now; I change the oil every two years and add fuel stabilizer at the end of every winter. This year (2012) I had to replace a worn scraper. Starts on the first pull.

Dan Mohnen: #honda_hs520as_snowblower This snow thrower had a little trouble because I let the fuel go bad no fuel stabilizer. Once I got it started, it ran rough. Then I put in fresh gas and it runs fine. It cleared the 20+ record snowfall I had in chicago this past winter with ease.... Feb 6, 11

rberga1: #honda_hs520as_snowblower I bought it new in 2004 and 5 yrs later it still starts up in one pull. No need to use the electric start. Plus I haven't even performed one service on it (not one oil change and I don't even put fuel stabilizer when I store it). I think I'll perform maintenace on it this year though :). Dec 19, 08
