Review Posted 01/31/2022
When it's piling up quickly outside, this is the machine you want!

With a powerful 357cc engine, this Cub Cadet model doesn't back down from any snowstorm!
With its 3-stage technology, the third stage works as an "accelerator" found in the auger housing that spins at an increased speed to slice n' dice through winter's nastiest weather!

If you get a lot of wet, heavy snow or have a large area to clear, this 3-stage snow blower accelerates the discharge and clears quicker and easier than any two-stage. Easy to handle and throws snow like a pro, you really can't go wrong with a machine like that at your side!

Additional features including Cool Blue skid shoes, electric start, dual LED headlights and heated handgrips making it a very consumer-friendly model and a top pick!

Used Once And Now The Gearbox Is Leaking Oil
By Robert K. 
Washington
Review Posted 01/24/2023 
Warranty states a 5 year on the gearbox. Called and was told that it is not a manufacturer defect. I figure it was a faulty seal but according to Cub Cadet it was my fault. So if you want to spend a lot of money for the name, don’t expect them to stand by their product. A less expensive brand will do the same job, not impressed.

Cub Cadet #X (28")
By Herman Y. 
Indiana
Review Posted 11/09/2022 
Ordered and received item very quickly and assembly was fast and simple. Within days of my order, the same item is listed as discontinued which seemed strange as all of the other 3X models are still available. Not sure why just this model would be cut out of the lineup so hopefully it doesn't mean this particular model isn't prone to problems? Have yet to be able to use it but I'm sure the snow isn't far away. everything appears to be well-constructed and in working order so I won't really know how well it will or won't work until the snow hits.

Great Snowblower
By Robin T 
New York
Review Posted 10/06/2022 
Cub Cadet has a reputation of being tough and long lasting. Plus we bought it at a great price. Around here, snow can get heavy and a snow blower take the hard work out of shoveling. Especially with a stage 3.

I am very happy with the purchase, this is a great quality snowblower. I have owned a Cub Cadet riding mower and self-propelled push mower in the past and they both worked for years with no major work at all. I expect this snowblower to last for years with no problems.

I was truly amazed at the performance of this machine. I used it in wet snow and dry snow, with the same result. Heated handles were a great plus in cold weather.

Bring On Winter - I'm Ready!
By Loren A. 
Altmar, New York
Purchased 01/11/2022 | 
Review Posted 04/02/2022 
I recently bought a new house, and for the first few months of Winter, I did not have a snowblower. I ordered one online from Snowblowers Direct. I was leery of ordering online at first because I had very little experience with shopping online. Being older and having heard so many bad things about all of the online fraudsters and scams, I had always tried to avoid shopping online. However, I am ecstatic about my experience and about my Cub Cadet Snowblower. It is a three-stage blower, with a 28" wide aperture, 357 cc engine, and heated handle grips. This thing works like a charm! It is powerful. I have no troubles getting up my steep driveway, even in the worst of conditions. The aggressive tires give excellent traction. It throws the snow amazingly far, and in a tight, precise stream. It was incredible to me just how fast it was delivered - it came two days after I placed the order! The whole process was excellent! I plan to shop the same when I need a new lawnmower. I highly recommend Cub Cadet and Snowblowers Direct.

AWESOME machine......in Every Way!

Review Posted 03/29/2022 
Going to have to move to the Artic Circle. Got this delivered the day before our ONE 'big' snow storm. I did three driveways in less than 50 minutes. The snow was over a foot deep and never took it out of idle.
AWESOME machine......worth Every Penny!
