Owner Feedback
Konstantin, Kropivnitsky:
“I have been using the Husqvarna ST 261E snow blower for two years now. Easy to use, does not require significant maintenance costs. After six months of intensive use, the bearings and drive belt failed, I had to contact a service center. For professional use – not suitable because, despite its maneuverability, it has relatively little power compared to other models. I use it in the country.”
Vladislav, Minsk:
“I own a small utility company that serves several large apartment complexes. Three years ago I bought a Husqvarna ST 268EPT snow blower. Advantages: For cleaning sidewalks, narrow-width streets and entrances to residential buildings – it fits perfectly. With timely maintenance, it will last more than a year. Disadvantages: none.”
