Ariens 273360 24 in. 2-Stage Gas Sno Thro with Auto-Turn Feature

This is the second Ariens machine I have owned. The first was a smaller unit which lasted for several years. I purchased this unit to better handle the drifts and spots where the street plow covers my drive and sidewalk. I have used the unit 3 times in 2 weeks. Twice for six inch snows, and once for a three inch snow. It cut through the heavy and light snows easily. I was able to push through the snow piled up by the street plow with no problems. The electric start is great and the light really helps after dark. The auto turn works great. You don't have to fight the machine when making tight turns. I highly recommend this model.

Bought this a couple of years back, the durability and ease of use is second to none. It's saved my back multiple times with the drive and auto turn, and the reverse is great. The controls are intuitive, and it will destroy even the largest drifts with the heaviest able without breaking a sweat. Worth every penny.
