921017 - Ariens Deluxe Platinum ST24DLE (24") 249cc Two-Stage Snow Blower - 5747 Review

Purchased via Home Depot and to my surprise they now use local Ariens dealerships who do the assembly and initial set up with delivery. A knowledgable and seasoned guy dropped it off and offered a demo. I used the machine twice on two 6" occassions and was very, very happen. But then, we got the blizzard of 2013 and a few things happened. The machine starts like a dream, I've not needed to use the electric start as it turns over and fires immediately. After hogging out through 3' of snow, the drive wheels would not turn. I was REALLY unhappy that after only 4 hours of total use, the drive wheels stopped working. After some research (I was stuck home afterall, no plow trucks for 2 days) I decided to take a shot at fixing it. I find that the pully the engages the drive wheels is given tension with a heavy duty spring. That spring snapped! So I was able to bend it in order to finish the driveway and ordered up 2 more just in case!!

Pros: Great design, solid construction, lots of power (until you get 3' of snow), throws snow farther than imaginable

Cons: There is simply no reason a brand new snowblower should require a $5 spring that snaps and renders the machine useless.

In the end, would I recommend this machine, yes absolutely. Am I disappointed I ended up getting stuck with a bum part during a terrible storm, ABSOLUTELY. This is my 6th Ariens product and I will continue to support them but I am certainly going to have this machine on a short leash.

As an aside- GET DRIFT CUTTERS... I wish I had gotten these!!
