Anyone have a use case other than noise levels for running anything other than Turbo on the impeller setting for S1?

Run time is the antithesis of Turbo…

Yeah that makes sense. I can run 100% of my snow blowing needs on turbo. Should I not be? Less demand on the belt over time? I figured, set it to  
💨 TURBO 💨 and let it hunt.

I have the areas closest to my house windows set at lower impeller speeds.

Why? Two reasons. First, reduced noise level. Makes the wife happier. Second, lowers the potential damage if Yarbo decides to accidentally point the chute at the house.

Yep, I typically run turbo in the heavy areas/areas I double blow the snow and balanced elsewhere. Quiet will not work with wet snow or melting snow pack
