Home Plow by Meyer Snowplow - Power Angling, Model# 26000 Review

Bought this plow online a month or so ago (not from Amazon). It is a step above the Meyer auto-angling home plows in that you have full control of the plow blades orientation (up, down, left right). It took a while for me to decide whether it would fit my vehicle without much hassle (I have a 2002 Chevy Avalanche, Z71). This plow requires a 2x2 in box hitch. Meyer has a pdf file that lists the compatible hitches for various vehicles (manufactured by CURT, but with Meyer codes). I was suspicious about the hitch they had listed for my truck, so I called. I reached someone who simply looked at the same chart I had. She gave me a number for technical support, but it just got me back to this answering service. I then did research and got hold of another site that sold Curt hitches, and the knowledgeable online rep convinced me of the correct model. I bought it, and he was right (and the Meyer literature was wrong). Emails to Meyer were never answered.

Anyway, the hitch arrived, and I installed with minor fascia modifications. The plow arrived by freight in good shape (although the delivery truck didn't have a liftgate, which it should for an item of this enormous weight). It was relatively simple to slide the plow right into the hitch...all within the appropriate specifications for the plow (height off ground, etc..). The wiring instructions were OK, although I found it easier to attach the negative cable to a ground in the truck frame, and not to the battery.

One disappointment...whereas the other Meyer home plows have a wireless controller, the controller for the 26000 has a thick wire that you need to route into the cab somehow. The picture on the web site of this controller conveniently crops out the wire (the picture is on the same page as the aforementioned wireless controllers), and there was no indication that it wasn't wireless (and of course, it is impossible to contact Meyer to ask).

Something I really like about the plow is that it is relatively easy to get on and off the truck; the plow has 3 wheels that allow you to roll it around easily, and position the plow to hook up. The wheels can be inverted or removed for plowing. Just take the plow on and off as needed...a 2-5 minute procedure.

The plow works very well. I purchased the skid kit so as not to damage the cutting blade and my driveway (tar and stone) very much.

The instruction manual is glossy and pretty, but lacking in some details. For example, it isn't clear how to adjust the chain for proper plow height.

Overall, if you are a do-it-yourselfer, you should be able to have your plow unpacked and ready to go in a couple of hours. I'd say that if the unit proves to be durable, then I will be extremely happy with it.

UPDATE: Someone from Meyer saw the review, and managed to track me down and give me a call. The person was interested in hearing about my experience with respect to customer service, and how they might improve it. I recommended that the web site be much clearer about contact information (proper email address and phone info should be prominent). They also recognized the error in hitch info. They seemed intent on addressing the problems, of which they were previously unaware. Hopefully this will happen. I have not revisited the web site to check, but it bodes well that the company will try to please.
