4.0 out of 5 stars Husqvarna 12527HV snowthrower - first impressions, February 4, 2011
I just got my new 27" Husqvarna snow blower and decided to take it for a spin. Central NJ got hit with about 20" of snow last week, most of which is still on the ground and with an added layer of ice and sleet from yesterdays storm for good measure, I figured this would be a good shakedown test of my new "Husky". After reading the users manual, checking the oil level and filling the gas tank I was ready to give it a whirl. I had only shoveled half my driveway last week so I decided to start there. Closed the choke halfway, pumped the rubber primer button twice, and it started on the first pull -so far so good. My first observation was that for a 291cc, 9hp (@3500rpm) engine it was loud -very loud. So loud in fact I thought they had left the muffler off, but no, it was there. A small rectangular black box above the engine with two outlet ports and a sticker on top containing a cryptic symbol of a hand over a box with a bunch of little squiggly vertical lines coming off the top.

This is my first sno blower as well so read this with a grain of salt.

Received the unit fully assembled so that step was already out of the way. The engine starts fine out of my garage (temp of 30F to 0F depending on outside conditions) by hand so I don't use the electric start. (see below as well)

It starts at full power and runs at max speed so it is quite noisy similar to other sno blowers. The idle circuit is pretty good, it idles smoothly instead of some others with a lumpy idle.

It cuts thru virtually any amount of snow. I used it all last winter and it never bogged down. You can tell it's working hard but never bogs. Traction and drive system work good, the "power steering" works well. There's nothing power about the steering it just disengages a drive wheel to make it turn. Low tech but effective. I've used it to blaze a trail through a snow bank and around the house, if you can feed it thru the drift it will cut it down. Head light... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Great name but a real lemon, November 19, 2011
This review is from: Husqvarna 12527HV 27-Inch 291cc SnowKing Gas Powered Two Stage Snow Thrower With Electric Start & Power Steering (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this snowblower about 6 years ago---the first 2 YEARS it was very reliable(in garage whole time). The first time I used it it worked Great and I thought man this is Awesome---I have a very large driveway and it did it with relative ease. Then I went to use it on the next snow fall and couldn't get the blades to work after just one pass. Took it to their certified repair shop here in town and they said that they hated to see these come in as it was always the same problem. Several hundred $$'s later I got it out just in time to sit in the garage again until the next winter---you guessed it it happened again (the belts that move the auger slip off). Broke down the first time out--same problem. Called the shop that did the work and they said bring it down where again they did work on it and cost me a little less but still to much. I took it home and again the @#$@% thing broke down the next time I used it. I wouldn't have this unit--if anyone out there wants one I... Read more
