| Snow Blowers Direct Recommendation |
| By Snow Blowers Direct |
Ariens makes two version of a 30-inch, two-stage snow blower - this ST30LE and a "Deluxe Platinum ST30DLE" version.
What's the difference?
Both are exceptional models. We actually recommend and sell a bunch of both.
The "Deluxe Platinum" version is more expensive because it offers a few additional features:
1. More powerful engine (342cc vs. 305cc)
2. Quick turn chute vs. 2.5x crank chute
3. Automatic traction control
Basically, the Deluxe Platinum version throws the snow further. The chute turns easier. And, the machine quickly turns on a dime at the end of the driveway.
If you want these additional features, get the Deluxe Platinum version instead. Otherwise, the ST30LE will serve you exceptionally well and save you a few bucks too! |

| Extremely pleased, can't wait until the next big storm. |
| By mark browning (Stewartstown, PA) |
I was extremely pleased with my new Ariens snowblower on how easy it was to assemble and how well it functioned.
Others have complained about having to reach out to change the direction of the chute; as for me it was not a problem.
If I had this snowblower when we got hit with the two snow storms, I could have done my driveway in about an hour instead of 4 hours using my old blower.
Can't wait until the next big storm. |

| Top Notch Customer Service |
| By Kellie Zink (Parkville, MD) |
This review is more about the fantastic customer service of SnowBlowersDirect.com than the machine.
I placed my order for this machine which was back ordered by two weeks, and I was pleasantly surprised when it shipped about a week early.
Unfortunately for me the freight company (R&L) lost it somewhere after it arrived at my local terminal. After several days of excuses, and two scheduled delivery dates where R&L failed to show, I called customer service at SnowBlowersDirect.com for help.
SnowBlowersDirect.com immediately put my mind and my wallet at ease and took control of the claim process with R&L.
SnowBlowersDirect.com placed a new order at no additional expense to me, and shipped another unit the same day! I just took delivery of my new Ariens 921013, and it is an impressive machine proudly made in the USA.
The customer service at SnowBlowersDirect.com is top notch and I can personally attest that your money is safe and well spent.
Thank you SnowBlowersDirect.com! |

| Excellent Process-TIMELY DELIVERY!! |
| By Mary Catherine VonGarlem (Hughesville, MD) |
We live in Maryland. We heard the forecast for "substantial snowfall" on Tuesday Feb 2, 2010. My husband recently had back surgery and was not able to shovel snow. Our area was forecasted to receive between 1 and 2 FEET of snow.
We went online and researched many snow blowers and vendors. We decided to order the Ariens from you on Wednesday and placed our order before noon. We received confirmation that the snow blower shipped that same day and a tracking number.
We followed the tracking very closely as the impending blizzard was scheduled to begin on Friday afternoon. We were SO DELIGHTED to have the snow blower delivered to us about 1:30 in the afternoon on Friday just as the snow started.
We ended up getting over 2 feet of snow- the picture says it all. We are extremely pleased with the ordering process, communication, delivery tracking, the Ariens model, and above all the QUICK delivery of the snowblower. It got to us just in time!!!
We've told many friends, acquaintances and neighbors. I expect your company will receive orders based on our recommendation.
THANKS SO MUCH!! |

| This company gets an A+ |
| By Cindy (Amarillo, TX) |
Snow Blowers Direct is great and the service was awesome!!!!
I ordered my snow blower at 11 am on Monday, and it was delivered before noon on Wednesday. From Chicago to Texas!
Never have I had this wonderful a service from any other company. I will order from them again and refer this company to everyone.
My snowblower is easy to start and operate, and the headlight is great for those early mornings. With a 30 inch path the job gets done pretty fast.
I highly recommend this product. |

| Would prefer chute control on the console |
| By Bob Harper (Fawnskin, CA) |
I purchased an Ariens 30" snow blower w/o the chute directional control on the console. I reside in Big Bear Lake, CA and we received 6 feet of snow in January, 2010.
The Ariens blower did a great job, however, I would prefer the chute directional control on the console as it is very awkward to reach forward to turn the chute handle.
I think Ariens should place the chute control on the console of all their models for convenience and safety. My neighbor owns an older 32" Ariens blower which I have operated and her snow blower performs stronger in heavy snow and ice.
The Ariens snow blower is a great machine, and the only thing I would do in hindsight would be to purchase a larger 32" machine.
Snow Blowers Direct order and tech staff answered all my questions and the purchase experience was outstanding.
Thank you, Snow Blowers Direct, for such a great purchase experience. |

| Poster Child for Snowblowers |
| By Rob (Bethesda, MD) |
Dumbest luck, but I actually had my Ariens delivered the day before DC Metro's big December storm.
After our second big storm last weekend, I only wish I had bought one sooner. I was always wary about its danger- but after reading the manual cover to cover and giving it healthy respect and caution, just about any can use one.
It's embarrassing how quickly it clears the 3100 sq ft of driveway we have ... I start later and finish earlier; then I can help tidy up the aprons of my adjacent neighbors too.
Just need to order drift cutters ... |

| Dedicated and concerned |
| By joe hayes (Richmond, VA) |
Unfortunately, through no error on Snow Blowers Direct.com's part, my snow blower at the truck terminal was damaged and I did not sign for it.
Snow Blowers Direct, being dedicated and concerned, took a bad experience and turn it into a good one.
Thank you! I will buy from them again! |

| Everyone is happy I bought it |
| By ROBERT SHEEHAN (Ronkonkoma, NY) |
The snowthrower looks great in my garage, and is ready to go.
But, it hasn't snowed since I received it... I figure since I bought it, it won't snow again for three years?
So, everyone in the neighborhood is very happy I bought it! |

| Snowblower |
| By JUDITH (Columbus, NE) |
Just to let you know we love the new blower!
We looked here in Columbus and for anything that was close to our Ariens it was about $700 higher. It came quickly to our home from the shipping company.
Our next blower will definitely be another one from SnowblowerDirect.com. Thanks again!
P.S. We couldn't even find a blower in Columbus as they were all sold out because of that bad snow storm, which now we are glad of because this is such a nice one. |

| Awesome |
| By Carl (Norwalk, IA) |
This is my first snowblower and I decided to spend some money to avoid buying a underpowered small width blower.
I am excited to say the blower lived up to its reviews. It is flat-out awesome! |

| Ariens DELUXE 30 |
| By Jerry (Trempealeau, WI) |
I bought this blower new in early December of 09 and I now have used it 4 times.
The first snow was 16" of powder, the blower worked great considering I had to go through drifts higher than the engine. I did find that the low gear moves the blower too fast for deep snow. I would like a slower speed for drifts.
The next two snows were 4" and this was a walk in the park. The chute adjustment (ice drill) works great and the remote locking axle is a must as it made turning around at the end of the drive a breeze.
The last snow was 3" and wet. The Ariens Deluxe 30 did the job and I never needed to clean the chute one time.
I would give this blower a big TWO thumbs up and recommend it for anyone with a lot of snow to move. |

| How To Pick the Perfect Snow Blower Cab |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Snow blowing is an enjoyable experience… until the blowing snow starts smacking you in the face.
A snow blower cab won’t stop the wind from blowing, but it will provide a nice barrier between you and the snow and wind.
Picking the perfect snow blower cab is easy if you follow these two steps:
Step One - Match Your Manufacturer.
The easiest way to choose the perfect snow cab is buy the same brand as your snow blower. Since the snow cab is specifically designed for the your snow blower, it will assure a perfect fit.
If the manufacturer’s snow cab is unavailable or out of your price range, you can choose a universal cab. These are made to fit on a wide variety of snow blowers.
Step Two – Need a Light?
If your snow blower has a headlight, get a deluxe snow cab with a clear lower window, allowing the light to shine through.
If you don’t have a headlight, save some money and buy a regular snow blower cab without the window. |
