Testing the Ariens Deluxe 24 snowblower: Best Bang for Your Buck?

[@Edward-Norton]

If I was in the market for a 2 stage snow blower this is the one I would get. I see the video's on Ego 24" but it's a lot of plastic and you don't get much run time.

I own the same model, the thing is just a tank. However I would get the next model up because it's more ergonomic. On this model, the handle to swivel the chute is so incredibly awkward with it being in front of the handles that despite loving it, I couldn't bring myself to buy it again.

Oh interesting, I haven't noticed that so far. The main comparison machine for me was a Toro, and I was not a fan of their joystick like setup for chute control. This felt like a much better and more durable system.
