Don't buy this snowblower
By Richard M.

Review Posted 02/09/2017
Do not buy this snowblower! While I am sure this will be fine if you have to clear a perfectly flat sidewalk of less than 6 inches of light, fluffy snow, this blower is useless in real world use. First, it is auger assist drive which is supposed to use the auger blades to help propel the snowblower forward.
However, you have to lift up on the handles while trying to push the snowblower forward at the same time to get the augers to engage the pavement. Regardless, one the auger wear a little bit they no longer contact the pavement and help propel you. So you basically are trying to push this machine through the snow. It can't handle anything but wet fluffy snow if you snow is heavy the auguers don't push it through the shoot. You can actually hear the drive axle whine as the augers spin uselessly or try to stop. Worst $600.00 I ever spent. Piece of junk.

Don't buy it

Review Posted 12/10/2016
Don't but this one! I live east of Cleveland Ohio on the edge of the snow belt, so I'm no stranger to snow removal. If the snow is even a little sticky, it packs the wheels so they don't turn.
If you want aerobic exercise, you'll get it. The Squall 2100 takes nearly as much effort to push with the wheels caked, as it does to shovel. At the end of this snow storm, I'm going to replace the wheels.

Troy-Bilt Squall 2100 Single-Stage – Review
By Tools In Action

Review Posted 04/24/2015
Well, well, it finally snowed here in Chicago. We have had no snow until now. We got 6″, time to test out the Troy-Bilt Squall 2100 that you can get at Lowes. The 2100 is a single stage snow thrower which is good for smaller drives and light to moderate snow fall. The main feature that we liked was the 208cc 4 cycle motor, no more smoke and having to mix oil. The blower clears a respectable 21″ path and even has drift cutters to slice through drifts. It comes mostly assembled and you have to unfold the handles, add the chute, drift cutters and pour in the included oil.
To aid in cold starts the squall has a built in electric starter, just hook up the included extension cord and you’re set. Being a 4 cycle we thought the unit would be a little quieter than it is. The unit has a chute direction handle that is easily locked into position. To angle the chute you need to reach over the unit and manually aim it, however, the chute worked its way fully open while operating a few times. You can adjust the chute angle tension via a knob at the pivot point. The choke, primer and key are all easily accessible even with gloves on.
Our test conditions were 6″ of wet snow. We pulled the starter and on the second try it came to life. The choke was simple to operate and worked well. Pulling back on the safety handle engages the auger. The auger helps propel the unit through the snow and all you have to do is basically guide it and aim the chute. During our tests the Squall 2100 threw the snow about 15 ft, enough to more that adequately clean off a 2 car driveway. Distance thrown depends on conditions and moisture content of the snow. The Squall was not as quiet as we had hoped, it was a tad louder than a 2 stroke blower that we have. The skid shoes are adjustable so you can set your shave plate height.
Overall the Troy-Bilt Squall 2100 is solid well-built machine. It works as advertised and is a good fit for an all-around snow blower. It is protected by the Lowes Service Advantage, a number that you can call 24/7 for technical help and has a 2 year warranty.

Easy to handle, operate and start.
Follow through starting instructions and it fires up with one pull or touch of the starter.
Seems to be light probably due to it being perfectly balanced, grab the handle and it feels like nothing is there. Awesome
To turn the chute, just reach down below the handle and turn the lever. Reaching or leaning to turn the chute.
Oh yeah it cleans down to the pavement and throws the snow great. Really satisfied. Bought this due to a very bad back and l am glad I DID.
