WOW!
I received my snowblower on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day we had one of biggest snow storms in a long time.
It cleared the snow in no time, and depending on how high the chute was placed it could throw the snow about 30-35 ft.
I helped out my neighbors by clearing theirs when they usually used snow shovels. I recommend it highly.
I needed help from my son-in-law to connect the handle which operates the chute. It takes one person to put pressure to hold the bracket next to the lower handle so the gears will engage and another person to put the nut on the bolt, but it was worth it.

This Machine EATS Snow... Best Ever!!!
I've had many snow throwers over the last 40 years... MTD, Toro, Snapper; but this machine is the best ever...
It will clean right down to the pavement even when the snow is packed down from foot traffic or from my truck in the driveway.
Don't make the $350 mistake, you get what you pay for and this machine is worth every dime!

To all snow blower buyers: this model # 722 is a real snow machine that loves snow and does the job you want in the first round.
This machine will make you proud that you bought an Ariens. It's a very good product.....

GREAT MACHINE
Don't let the compact size fool you, this machine can do a big job quickly. I reluctantly bought it when there was a blizzard on the way and all the cheaper machines were bought. I have previously owned the bulkier models with power drive wheels so I can make a comparison.
It is a two cycle engine machine, thereby cutting the weight down drastically so you don't need power drive wheels. Because it is 7 horsepower it really powers through snow. It's the new paradigm in things.
Remember we had to have bigger and heavier on everything like cars? Well we now like our lighter, smaller more nimble vehicles which can do the same for us. Its the same here. This machine is lightweight, but its power to weight ration makes it a treat to use.
You know, it's the sports car of snowthrowers, fun and fast.

Good Investment
I enjoy having the snow blower. I got the 7 horse Ariens. I'm able to do my work and then my mother's drive done in a fraction of the time to shovel manually.

Excessive vibration
I bought a 722 but ended up exchanging it for a Toro 3650 GTS. The Ariens works well when the chute is straight ahead but very poorly when the angle is 45 to 90 degrees. And it had an excessive amount of vibration. Overall very disappointing.

Ariens Single-Stage (22") 7-HP Electric Start Snow Blower Review
Well, it was between a Toro or Ariens, and I decided to buy the Ariens 722 due to the quick chute lever design.
Toro does not have one. My neighbor has a Toro single stage. It is a good little machine, but the only draw back is the chute. He has to stop and turn the chute as compare to the Ariens lever design, which is quick and very useful while moving.
The Ariens well remove the heavy slush with no problems. I would recommend the Ariens, but you may have to go the second time around to remove the snow.

Ariens Single-Stage (22") 7-HP Electric Start Snow Blower Review
I Have the 722. Very Happy With It.
Last Year, We Had a Lot of Snow. I Tried a V-Belt, and the Ariens Worked Much Better.
