Consumer Digest Awards A Best Buy Rating to
Cub Cadet® Snow Blowers
221 LHP, 526 SWE, and 528 SWE Models Offer Exceptional Value
Through innovation and unrivaled performance, Cub Cadet continues to prove itself as the leader in the outdoor power equipment industry.
Three Cub Cadet premium quality snow throwers have earned a coveted Consumers Digest Best Buy distinction. The Cub Cadet single-stage snow thrower, the 221 LHP, and two of the two-stage snow throwers in the 500 series, the 526 SWE, and 528 SWE were each awarded the honor. Consumers Digest only gives the Best Buy award to products deemed to deliver exceptional value - a rating reserved for fewer than three percent of the competing models in any given product category.
According to Consumers Digest, multiple features impressed editors and all three models demonstrated exceptional value. The 221 LHP engine “generates the greatest output of any single-stage gasoline snow thrower in its category, while having the lowest price.” And the 526 SWE and 528 SWE models feature power steering, upgraded skid shoes and a three-year warranty that exceeds most industry standards.
"Achieving another Best Buy designation from a trusted authority like Consumers Digest is a testament to Cub Cadet's dedication to delivering the best products, owner experience and results in the industry," said Jeff Salamon, Director of Marketing, Cub Cadet. "Cub Cadet snow throwers have been given top ratings not only by top consumer publications but most importantly by our customers with their positive reviews and brand loyalty."
