| What a beast! |
| By Larry (Pompton Plains,, NJ) |
I knew we were going to get nailed with snow this year. So I am glad I ordered this Ariens snowblower back in October.
It has been a pleasure to use. Sure beats shoveling!!
This baby is a beast and tosses light and heavily packed snow as if it were feathers. I moved 12 inches of snow last week for a six car driveway in no time. Then I went over to do the neighbors'.
All I can say is "what a beast"!!! |

| Not enough snow to have fun |
| By Richard C. (Cobble Hill, BC Canada) |
I am from Vancouver Island, British Columbia and here when we do have snow it is very wet and heavy.
I can say that my Ariens Deluxe Platinum ST24DLE performs admirably; unfortunately we only had a one 5 inch snowfall so far.
I keep hoping for more snowfall and one of about 12 inches deep would be nice- but who else will complain about not having enough snow other than someone that just bought a snowblower (BG). But for the little snow we had it was great- almost fun.
As far as the electric start power cord I thought it would have been a bit more flexible but it works like a charm. |

| How to Start a Single-Stage Snow Blower |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
There are basically two ways to start a single-stage snow blower.
1. Recoil (or Pull) Start
2. Electric (or Push Button) Start
Most people opt for the electric start feature because they want to avoid the shoulder strain.
In reality, it's much easier to pull the rope on newer models. Electric start is now better suited for folks who physically can't.
Also, manufacturers are no longer including the electric start cord with their snow blowers. If you want to use the electric start feature, you must buy a cord separately. |
