Is the Ariens Deluxe 28 good for deep snow?

Yes. The 21-inch intake housing and 14-inch serrated steel auger are built for deep, accumulated snow and drifts, and the impeller throws it up to 50 feet.

How does the electric start work?

A 120V starter spins the engine from a cord, which helps in cold weather. A recoil pull starter is also fitted as a backup.

What is Auto-Turn steering?

It lets the machine pivot more easily at the handles without separate steering triggers, so turns take less effort. It feels different from fixed-axle machines at first.

How many speeds does it have?

Six forward speeds and two reverse speeds, so you can match ground speed to snow depth and surface.

Can I control where the snow goes?

Yes. The chute rotates up to 200 degrees and a remote deflector on the handles adjusts the throwing angle.

What kind of surfaces is it suited to?

Driveways and sidewalks. Adjustable skid shoes let you set the housing height for different surfaces, and 16-inch directional tires provide traction.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Deluxe series generally report strong throwing performance in deep and drifted snow and reliable cold-weather starting from the electric start. Common complaints center on the machine's size and weight and on the learning curve of the Auto-Turn steering.

About the Deluxe 28 in. 252cc Electric Start 2-Stage Self-Propelled Gas Snow Blower

The Ariens Deluxe 28 Whiteout Edition is a two-stage, self-propelled gas snow blower for driveways, sidewalks and other outdoor surfaces. It has a 252cc Ariens AX engine and a 28-inch clearing width. It has a Whiteout finish.

A 14-inch serrated steel auger breaks up snow and moves it toward the impeller, which throws it through the discharge chute. The intake housing is 21 inches high, and snow can be thrown up to 50 feet. The chute rotates up to 200 degrees, and a remote deflector control adjusts the throwing angle.

The self-propelled transmission has six forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Auto-Turn steering helps the machine turn without complicated steering controls. The 16-inch directional tires provide traction, and the skid shoes are adjustable for different surfaces. A 120V electric start is included, along with a recoil starter. An integrated LED light improves visibility, and the gear case is cast iron.
