| Thank God for Sno-Jet |
| By Tom Ennis (Wayland, MI) |
| My wife and I moved to Lower Michigan from northern California in January. I bought a snowthrower attachment for my Craftsman riding mower but was having problems with it clogging. I searched the internet and came up with Sno-Jet. I ordered a couple of cans and tried it just in time. No more clogs and I can run the tractor faster. Lucky for me because I never realized that lower Michigan was so far north. |

| Ariens Sno-Jet Non-Stick Spray Review |
| By Ron Schnell (Kenosa, WI) |
Ariens Sno Jet Non Stick Spray is a very good product.
We had a very wet snow fall and in the past. I would need to clear the snow out of the snow blower.
But with this product that was not necessary. |

| Ariens Sno-Jet Non-Stick Spray Review |
| By Ralph Tedum (Franklin, OH) |
Ariens Sno Jet Non Stick Spray is a really "slick new product."
The wet built up snow will slide right off with this new Sno Jet Non Stick Spray and you want have to keep stopping to push it off your snow blower or other snow equipment any more.
All you have to do is shake and spray on your auger, chute or even your shovel if you choose that route. |

| How To Easily Prevent Snow From Sticking |
| By Dragonwyck (Georgetown, MA) |
Snow sticks to surfaces warmer than itself (see caveat below). When the surface is as cold as (or colder than) the snow, it does not stick.
Try this - leave one shovel indoors and one outdoors over night. Next AM, use both to clear the snow and I'll bet you'll find the cold shovel works better.
I've noticed this with my shovels to my snow throwers, including a walk-behind Simplicity and a 49" wide, PTO Simplicity tractor mounted snow thrower and my Fisher plow: that when the equipment is garaged, snow sticks but when left outdoors or in unheated sheds it does not at all or does so very little.
Caveat - - Of course when the snow is wet, or melting, then again there is a temperature difference and the "warm" snow can stick to the cold metal.
I've tried sprays through the years, even wax; but they all wear off too soon for my liking: effort to coat, cost to coat. The grittier (sand, salt) the snow the shorter life span the coating has.
Repeatedly, the best I've found is keeping the equipment cold and not in a garage (heated or partially heated).
If you can set a dish of water on your garage floor next to your equipment and the water doesn't freeze, then your equipment is too warm and the snow will stick.
Spray it if you like, spend the money if you wish - but maybe try cold storage and save your money for other things! |

| My First Toy for the North |
| By Chuck New (Sagle, ID) |
We moved to Northern Idaho from sunny Southern California in early November. I ordered the snow blower while we were still among the palm trees, and asked for a delayed delivery.
The machine was delivered on time, as directed. It came with the synthetic oil already in the crankcase so all I had to do was add gas (with Sta-Bil) and push the button.
There is a learning curve as far as removal patterns go, with this new house and property; but the machine has worked flawlessly.
The only down side is that I still can’t figure out the cover that I bought extra. I’ll take it as a challenge when I get around to it.
On the DEFINITE plus-side is the tutorial for the annual maintenance on the website.
It’s great to work with a company that can alter their routine to work with the customer and put out as superior product. |

| Looking for a no-nonsense storm tamer |
| By Richard (Fairfax, VA) |
After receiving a once every 5 to 10 years size storm in Northern Virginia I felt it was more work than I was able to handle.
Thank goodness I had the help from my family. We did several shifts each to clear the snow off the driveway with shovels.
I promised the Missus that I would do a couple of the neighbor's driveways if I bought a snow blower. I tried to find one in the area, that was not realistic. I could not find one anywhere.
So I turned to the Internet and found Snow Blowers Direct.com. I purchased the Ariens prosumer 27 inch 2-stage machine.
I wanted it fast and it came within 4 days of ordering it. I couldn't wait to get home and try it out. I was not disappointed with the quality or power of this storm buster.
I have a neighbor who was on vacation so his driveway was still waiting. I had a great time clearing it. It made me a little sad that I was able to finish it so quick.
I am still getting used to operating it but find it very easy to maneuver. I am glad to have something that can handle my needs without any concern that I did not get what I required to do the job in style.
I really love this machine. |

| Makes a Craftsman snow blower really blow! |
| By Adam (Whiting, IN) |
Until I tried Sno-Jet, I carried a broom handle around with me whenever I had to run my snow blower to remove heavy wet snow from the ejector chute.
Now, before I start, I spray Sno-Jet into the ejector chute and on the augers, and I don't have to stop to clear the packed snow out of the chute.
I'm ordering more now because I'm running out. We've had quite a bit of snow here in Northwest Indiana. |

| Life is good with Snow-Jet! |
| By Angelo Hunter (Coeur D Alene, ID) |
I live in beautiful North Idaho which receives a lot of snow. Unfortunately during early and late in the snow season, we receive a lot of wet snow.
This is a constant problem as I have to clear snow (which actually turns into ice) out of the plow every 2-3 feet depending upon how heavy a snowfall it is.
Luckily, a friend told me about Snow-Jet spray which alleviates clogged up wet snow in my plow. Now I simply spray the chute and plow of my snow blower and the snow no longer sticks to them.
This saves me a lot of time and frustration because there is no need to continually clean all of the wet snow from the plow!
I recommend that if anyone has to snow blow on a regular basis, they should consider purchasing Snow-Jet. Such a small price saves me a lot of work! |

| New Snow Blower |
| By Alan Meyer (Sun Prairie, WI) |
| I just purchased a new Toro snow blower. I love the blower and it works great. My only complaint is that it tends to get a lot of accumulation around the chute with wet sticky snow. A friend recommend trying a silicon spray to cut down on the accumulation and let me borrow a can of Sno-Jet to try out. I can't believe the different it made!! I used to have to stop two to three times and clean out the wet snow from the chute while blowing the drive way. Now I have no problems at all. It also makes it much easier to clean up the blower before I put it back in the garage. What a time saver!! I would highly recommend Sno-Jet. |

| Ariens Sno-Jet Non-Stick Spray Review |
| By Alan (Lake in the Hills, IL) |
I bought this thrower at the end of last winter, so after months of waiting I was eager to finally use it!
Today was the day...or so I thought.
I tried firing up the thrower & it wouldn't turn over. After the 20th pull I decided that I had given the neighbors enough of a show and had probably flooded the carburetor. I brought out my shovel & got to work.
I started shoveling, and after about 30 minutes I thought I'd give it another try. I primed it 10 times (instead of the 5 it said in the manual) & vroom, it fired up!
Awesome! I was done with my driveway & sidewalk, but I really bought this thrower so I could also do my neighbor's sidewalks.
I didn't even get two feet on their sidewalk before the chute got clogged- what a let down. After the repeated attempts I went online to find a remedy.
I came across Snow Blowers Direct & found the "non stick spray" products. Luckily I had some Pam handy & decided to give it a try. As you can see from the picture, not bad. Not great, but not bad.
I can't wait to try Sno Jet to see what a difference it makes!
SBD RESPONDS: It appears you didn't have the electric start model, but we hope you enjoy your free can of Sno-Jet! |

| Snowless in Seattle |
| By Giorgio (Bellevue, WA) |
We have little snow in Seattle, but I am happy in doing this purchase.
I was trying to save money before by not having a good solution to remove snow, but it is pretty sure it was a bad decision.
Even if you have only one or two days of snow a year, I strongly recommend getting an electric snow thrower. |

| My Story |
| By Nick Nardine (Mcmurray, PA) |
I bought my Jacobsen Snowblower in 1979 right after two very bad winters here in Western Pennsylvania.
Of course, as soon as I bought my machine I prayed for snow. Wouldn't you know, that for about the next four winters, it was never as bad here as the two winters BEFORE I bought my snowblower.
Then, things returned to normal and the snows came pretty regularly. I made great use of my Jacobsen but the snow sticking to the blade was ALWAYS a problem.
But, I lived with it and my Jacobsen lasted almost 30 years! I just sold it for $15 (for parts) and bought a used (but in very good shape) MTD with ELECTRIC START.
No more pulling that cord 'til it breaks!! The guy who sold it to me told me about Sno-Jet, so I'd like to give it a try, especially since I'm nearing 60 years old.
Anything that can ease the burden is worth a try. I don't have any pictures of me plodding through the snow in my 60 foot driveway with my Jacobsen. But, trust me, I did it more times than I care to remember.
Lastly, although even using a snowblower is work, I enjoy being out in the snow on those cold, snowy nights, if only it were a little easier. Maybe Sno-Jet will do that.
Thank you |

| How to Keep Your Chute from Clogging |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
A snow clogged chute can really slow you down -- especially when the snow is really wet.
You can keep your chute clear if you do two simple things:
1. Use Non-Stick Spray
It coats your snow blower chute and auger just like cooking spray.
The snow literally slides right through without sticking or clogging.
2. Go Faster
Believe it our not, your chute gets clogged because you're going too slow.
Think of a merry-go-round. The faster it spins; the further you fly off. Same goes with your snow blower.
If you physically cannot pickup the pace, you should consider getting a more powerful snow blower. |
