    CR's Feedback

    A number of our user reviews cite problems such as the auger belt coming off, general joystick-cable trouble, and general problems handling wet snow. While we cannot tell for sure what could be causing the joystick-cable problems, there's an adjustment for tightening the auger belt. (We summarize negative experiences for high-scoring models with at least 10 user reviews.)

    About

    The Troy-Bilt Storm 2840 is part of the Snow Blowers test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Single-Stage Battery Snow Blowers models like the Storm 2840 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Width: The snow blower's clearing width, or swath, in inches.

    Removal speed: How quickly models could remove snow without laboring; We push single-stage machines as quickly as possible before the machine labors.

    Plow pile removal: How quickly the snow thrower can remove a simulated pile of snow left by a municipal plow at the end of a driveway.
