Product and carton received in excellent shape; no damage. Can't comment on snow removal yet because we have not had any. Read several reviews about extension cord connection to snow thrower. If you purchase a 14 gauge (15 amp) extension cord, it fits fine and will handle the product's 12 amp draw. If one connects the extension cord to the handle per the instructions, it should NOT disconnect inadvertently. I am a handyman and ran into two assembly issues. First, when connecting the upper handle to the lower handle, the left side with the electric wire was really difficult to push together because the wire inside the tubing is about 1/2 to 1 inch too long. Second, when connecting the chute deflector onto the discharge chute, one bolt and locknut tightened just fine. The other locknut was a wrestler's challenge. Used a pair of channel-locks to hold the bold head until the locknut was tight enough for the square bolt to engage in the square plastic housing. If not careful, one can strip the square plastic hole in the discharge chute. Otherwise, I believe it will be a good snowthrower for 10 inches of snow, or less, as advertised on the carton.
