  • Our take on the Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO Snow Blower

    The Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO is a gas two-stage snow blower with a 28-inch clearing width, 21-inch intake height and a 301cc Ariens AX engine. Its SHO (Super High Output) drivetrain spins a larger 14-inch auger and impeller faster than the standard Deluxe 28, so it throws snow farther and clears heavy, wet snow and plowed-in drifts with less clogging. A cast-iron gear case, steel augers and impeller, 200-degree chute rotation, eight forward speeds, electric start and an LED headlight round it out. It suits homeowners with long driveways and heavy snowfall who want near-commercial capability without a commercial price, though at about 268 lbs it is heavy to maneuver and store.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Deluxe 28 SHO worth it over the standard Deluxe 28?
    The SHO adds a high-output drivetrain with a larger, faster-spinning auger and impeller, so it throws snow farther and handles wet, heavy snow better. If your snowfall is light and dry, the standard model is enough; for deep, wet snow the SHO earns its extra bulk.
    How much snow can it handle?
    The 21-inch intake height and 28-inch width let it take deep drifts in one pass, and the two-stage design pulls snow in and throws it rather than pushing it. Very deep, packed snow may still need a second pass.
    Does it have electric start?
    Yes. It has a 120V electric start in addition to a recoil pull start, so you can start it from an outlet on cold mornings.
    What is included in the box?
    The machine ships with the user manual and an ignition key. Fuel, oil and a battery for electric start are not included; the electric start runs off household current.
    How wide is it, and will it fit through a gate?
    The overall width is about 29-7/8 inches, so it needs a gate opening wider than that. The 28-inch clearing width is the swath it cuts.
    Does it have hand warmers or an adjustable handle?
    No. It has heated grips neither on the handles nor adjustable handle height, which taller and shorter users often mention.
