Husqvarna ST224 (24") 208cc Two-Stage Snow Blower

Well it looks good. Took it out to play with it yesterday for practice (never used a snowblower in my life), even though I own a lawn care service in Cincinnati Ohio.

The ST244 is very heavy. It's hard to turn, I'm assuming with snow on the ground it'll make it easier. It's got 6 gears, nothing too hard to get used to. 6th gear can "GET IT" though. You're moving pretty good in 3rd gear. It only has 1-reverse gear unlike other blowers with 2. No problem, that reverse gear is good enough to move you and that blower back at a nice pace.

I had to pull the handle to start it several times before it started. After that, it started easily the first pull. The electric start works great. (It's just loud as all get out.)

It has tons of features. The lights are nice and bright.

Heated handles work. The heat seems to come from the bottom half of the handles and not the top. The blower is extremely loud. It's gonna wake the whole neighborhood up for sure, but...... Oh well. The controls are quite convenient and easy to use. It's very powerful. Reminds me of a mini bulldozer. This could easily be used commercially. I chose this over the Arians 24" 208cc. All day. If you buy this, you've got your self a nice investment for $799.90 + tax $850.00
Go on and get it if you're contemplating.

I recently purchased a snow blower that was advertised as having a $50.00 rebate in the form of a Visa card after my purchase, if you registered the product. I have registered my product more than once but never received the after registration email that is supposed to have a number in it that I need to properly apply for the rebate. Husqvarna doesn't list any contact numbers on their web site for help. Worst customer service I have ever been exposed to. Doesn't look like I'm going to get the rebate. Never again.

Very easy to set up. If you are DIY'er like myself, the instruction were plain enough. Bought also a universal cab over that fit well over the controls with no obstruction. This Monster cuts through the snow like butter. It is very well built and will last a long time if you take care of it.

I am very happy with this product and would recommend this to anyone living in North that doesn't want to spend 45 min or more cleaning off their driveway every time it snows 2 or more inches. One of the great features is the heated handle grips and the front lights.

Hi, I bought this snow blower in October 2016. Since day 1 of snow blowing this isn't performing well. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. The auger is not clogged in ice or carburetor is not flooded. Not sure what the issue is but it doesn't wanna start. Unfortunately there isn't a shop that I can take this for repairs in winnipeg. Very frustrating and will not go back to buy any Husqvarna products anymore. This ST224 is a garbage and collecting dust.

This is my first snowblower, and I love it. Since I purchased it we have had two significant snow falls in my area and this machine cut right through it with ease. Wet and heavy snow is no problem.

If you're on the fence about the purchase, just do it. Your back will thank you for it.

I had a chance to use my Husqvarna snowblower a couple of days after receiving it. I am very pleased with the performance of it. I didn't have a d trouble blowing several inches of snow...even the heavy wet snow.

I bought this product for the quality and reliability of Husqvarna products. I love the fact that it has lights for blowing snow in the dark AND the reverse gear. Love it! I am a woman in my 60's and I have no problem starting and operating it. I also love the color!

Couldn't be any more pleased with the service and equipment. I purchased this Husqvarna ST 224 and so far so good. It tosses wet heavy snow with ease. I can't wait to try it out more. Thanks again PED!

This is my 3rd machine in 30 years and its the first real one. No clogging or snow over the top of it due to being too small. It takes some practice to turn, but it will turn on a dime.

The 1 speed in reverse might be slow but its a good safety feature.When working in a tight space you could pin yourself against a post or a fence. Its just a great time saver and actually enjoyable to use.

It's a little early to write a review after just two large snowfalls, however, I will say overall that I'm happy with the ST224. It was easy to put together and starts on the first pull. I'm happy with its snow throwing capabilities, but the reverse gear is extremely slow making you want to move the machine manually, which is hard due to the machine's weight coupled with the fact you are normally on slippery, snow covered surfaces. The ST224 goes up the hill on my driveway quite well. If they could increase the reverse speed, I'd be happier!

Holy cow! This sucker is a snow eating machine! I had never imagined it would do as well as it has. I guess it has been many years since running my folks old craftsman snowblower but this thing is a beast.

The only "con" I could think of is that it is heavy - HOWEVER, once the shipping part was over, I like that it has heft to it. It does not allow the snow to push it around.

Have many Husqvarna products and am pleased with all of them!

Goes through snow very easily. The only problem is all these big snowblowers need power steering standard.
