I live in a townhouse with limited yard area that I can throw the snow to. Is there anyway to adjust how far the snow is thrown?

the chute is adjustable so you can throw the snow in front of you or to each side. It rotates 180. It throws the snow about 6-8 ft from the chute opening.

Sorry: I don't see how to adjust distance, only the angle. You can adjust the throw from 90 degrees to the right to the same on the left or anything in between.

Yes. The chute can be tilted down to decrease distance thrown. But I'd get a real one for a little more money. Mine lasted two snowstorms. Had to buy and install a new belt.

It comes with two guides, one for each side that allow you to raise the blade off the ground so it doesn't wear out. You can mount them lower to raise the blade higher to leave some snow(1/2") on the ground and keep from throwing stones. Most likely your driveway is not perfectly flat and you will throw some of the mounds.

Works fine as long as the snow is not too heavy or icy. This is a smaller machine. If you want heavy duty snow throwing you need to buy a big, heavy duty thrower.

Richard when I can reach it I will measure for you, currently it is under 3 feet of snow! ...It is fabulous, easy to assemble, great design, inexpensive!

It depends on the snow but on average mine throws around 15 feet. It does a really good job for me. I live in the Midwest.

REMEMBER, everything is thrown straight ahead. Light snow, 4-5 feet, heavier snow, 1-2 feet. You just make several passes when it's deep or heavy.

Doesn't work worth a darn in areas that get snow. Still accumulates snow, even if at a reduced amount.

I'm sorry I can't really answer that. I purchased it for my son and he hasn't really had a chance to use it much with winter.

No. Unfortunately you cannot adjust that, or the direction. I have the same issue and have to strategize when I do my back yard patio (I direct it at my house and then go back and direct that to the side of my house). I am trying to make some sort of "shield" out of hard rubber or plastic I can bolt to mine to modify it to direct the snow. The fact it only shoots straight up is the only big flaw with the unit I have encountered.

I try to stay on top of it so it doesn't get so deep but the main thing is how powdery the snow is. When it is really wet it is too heavy and ice is too hard. This works well within it's limitations.

The blades are not adjustable, and side note are very sharp, I would strongly advise to not get near them. You can however use larger chunks of ice (the deeper freeze the better) to accomplish finer snow (shavings). I found a small cup with a diameter of about 4 inches to be about the best. Freeze the water inside the cup and the machine will shave a larger surface than a regular cube making for finer shavings.

Sorry, it's covered by snow right now....if you ask me when all the snow melts I'd be able to help out. If you measure from the connecting hole for the next fence on up you should be within an inch

Like the other reviewer said . Dry snow throws pretty far. But if there is wet snow or worse ice on the bottom this snow blower will not even go forward. You have to manually push it. That is really tough on the back and all other muscles. In that case I have to use a two stage blower. (Ariens).

There is not a way to adjust; however it's pretty cold! The hot and cold settings are preset and you cannot change. The only option is to turn it off or on.

Sorry, I have about 18" of snow on the ground - haven't Taken it out of the box yet I am still using my snow blower.

I have several hundred feet installed. I do NOT think it would be possible to rake any snow near the gutter portion of the roof; such as within about 2 feet from the gutters up in my case. It would catch the cable and pull it loose. (And it would be a pain to put it back at that time, cuz the shingles are cold/brittle.) I say no.

You can if you want to. But it will destroy your grass. any type of snow blower that has a bottom scraper and paddles will remove some snow and a lot grass.
