Our take on the Ariens ST28DLE Deluxe SHO 28-Inch

The Ariens ST28DLE Deluxe SHO is a two-stage gas snow blower with a 28-inch clearing width and 21-inch intake height, built for long driveways and heavy lake-effect snow. It runs a 301cc Ariens AX engine with electric start, a 14-inch serrated all-steel auger, cast-iron gear case and Auto-Turn steering. Ariens rates it to throw snow up to 50 feet at 62 to 72 tons per hour. The best new price is $1,649.00 at The Home Depot as of November 3, 2026, with two stores pricing it new.

A high 21 in. housing height devours the snow before throwing it up to 50 in. at a rate of 62-72 tons per hour. Various engines and machine widths make it easy to find the right unit for your property. Behind a Deluxe, you're walking in the tire tracks of greatness.

Questions and answers

Is the Ariens ST28DLE Deluxe SHO worth $1,649?
For a long driveway with heavy snow, yes. The 28-inch width, 301cc engine and cast-iron gear case put it above entry two-stage models. For a short, flat driveway, a smaller and cheaper blower does the job.
How does it compare with the standard Deluxe 28?
The SHO badge means a larger 301cc engine and a taller 21-inch housing than the base Deluxe 28, so it moves more snow per pass. The 28-inch width and Auto-Turn steering are the same.
Does it have electric start?
Yes. It has a 120V electric start, so you plug it in and press a button instead of pulling a cord in the cold. It also has a manual recoil starter as backup.
What snow depth can it handle?
The 21-inch intake height takes snow up to about 21 inches in one pass. Deeper drifts need a first pass at the top or several passes.
What comes in the box?
The blower, a user manual and an ignition key. You supply your own fuel and oil, and the electric start needs an extension cord.
When is it cheapest?
Snow blowers usually discount in late winter and early spring, and again in pre-season sales in early fall. The best new price was $1,649.00 at The Home Depot as of November 3, 2026.
