I got a brand new Deluxe 24 for this season too. Because I was well prepared for winter this season, mother nature is not cooperating and is giving my area an unseasonably warm winter. We've had no snow to warrant using the blower. I can't wait to use it on a real amount of snow.

Much like the ancient tradition of washing your car to make it rain, there is no better ritual to prevent a shitty snow filled winter like the purchase of a fantastic piece of snow moving equipment. Lol.

I’m in the same boat as a few others, here in Pennsylvania, so far my area had about 7” of plowable snow. My old snowblower I bough used was just riding the struggle bus. Bought a new Deluxe 24 and can’t wait to start using it when another storm comes through. I like the content because I like seeing how awesome a job the blowers do lol.

Narrowed it down to 24" airens deluxe and ariens 24" compact. Storage will be tight but think Im going with the deluxe because of the stronger engine. I just dont know if the compact will handle what the plow leaves behind at the end of the driveway after a big storm.

Best advices, keep extra shear bolts in stock, never use anything else, and don’t tighten them down. They should be on snug at most. Grease the auger shafts right away and do it every year (they’re not full length any more. Check the auger gearbox fluid right away and before every season. Add your fuel stabilizer as soon as you buy the fuel so you don’t forget. There’s a push-button (should be) carb drain on the carb bowl, use it. Finally, before a storm hits, always do a site inspection for debris, rocks, branches, newspapers, etc.
