Is the Honda HSS928AATD worth it over a smaller blower?

If you clear a long driveway or deal with heavy, plowed-in snow, the 28-inch width and 270cc engine save real time. For short, light driveways a smaller single-stage unit is cheaper and easier to handle.

How does it compare with the HSS928AWD?

Both use the same 28-inch, 270cc two-stage platform. The AATD adds electric start and hydrostatic drive, which are the main reasons to pay more over a base model.

Does it really start with a button?

Yes. It has electric start powered by a 12V VRLA battery, with recoil backup. Keep the battery charged in the off-season or the button start will fade.

How much snow can it handle?

The 21.7-inch intake height and two-stage design handle deep drifts and end-of-driveway plow piles. Wet, heavy snow still slows any walk-behind, so match your pace to the load.

What comes in the box?

The blower ships with its manual and the starting battery. Fuel, oil and any extra shear pins are not included, so plan for those before first use.

Snow blowers usually discount in late winter and early spring as dealers clear inventory. Watch price history from fall through March rather than buying at the first snow.

Our take on the Honda HSS928AATD Snow Blower

The Honda HSS928AATD is a two-stage gas snow blower with a 270cc Honda engine, a 28-inch clearing width and 21.7-inch intake height. It stands out for its electric start, hydrostatic drive and ice-breaking serrated auger, which suits long driveways and heavy, plowed-in snow. At 243 lbs it is a substantial machine, so storage and maneuverability matter. No current price was provided, so check the latest store listings against its recent range before buying.
