PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage Snow Blower vs Troy-Bilt Storm 2420 Snow Blower

Both are 24-inch, two-stage, self-propelled gas blowers with electric start, so the choice comes down to drive and chute control. The PowerSmart's 212cc engine, 13-inch pneumatic tires and 4 forward/2 reverse speeds suit long, flat driveways, and 167 owners rate it 4.3 out of 5. The Troy-Bilt Storm 2420 has a 208cc engine, 6 forward/2 reverse speeds, serrated steel augers and a crank chute that turns 200° in about 2.5 turns, but it is heavier at 181 lb. PowerSmart buyers report strong throwing and easy assembly, alongside complaints of units arriving damaged or dead on arrival, so check the machine on delivery.

• Choose the PowerSmart 24-inch if you want a lighter machine with a slightly larger engine and big pneumatic tires for long straight runs.
• Choose the Troy-Bilt Storm 2420 if you want finer speed control, serrated steel augers and a crank chute you can aim without stopping.
