Our take on the PowerSmart 24-Inch Two-Stage Electric Start Gas Snow Blower

The PowerSmart 24-Inch Two-Stage is a gas snow blower with a 252 cc engine, a 24-inch clearing width and 20-inch intake height, aimed at residential driveways and sidewalks. It stands out for push-button electric start and self-propelled drive, which take the pull-cord strain and pushing out of clearing snow. At 132.3 lbs it is heavy enough to need storage space and some muscle to maneuver in tight spots. Its 3.6 out of 5 rating from 40 ratings suggests mixed owner satisfaction rather than a proven favorite.

Pros
  • Electric start avoids pulling a cord in cold weather
  • Two-stage auger and impeller handle deeper, heavier snow

  • Self-propelled drive reduces pushing effort
  • Steel auger and metal frame are sturdier than plastic-heavy rivals
Cons

  • Plastic chute is the least durable part
  • 3.6 out of 5 from 40 ratings points to inconsistent owner experiences

Questions and answers

Is the PowerSmart 24-inch two-stage worth it?
It is a reasonable value if you want electric start and two-stage power at a lower price than major brands. The 3.6 out of 5 rating means check the return policy and expect to do some assembly and maintenance.
How does it compare with a single-stage snow blower?
A two-stage unit like this clears deeper snow and throws it farther, and the self-propelled drive does the pushing. Single-stage blowers are lighter and cheaper but struggle with heavy drifts and long driveways.
Does it really have electric start?
Yes. It starts with a push button from a corded electric starter, with a pull cord as backup. You need an outlet within cord reach or an extension cord.
How much snow can it handle?
The 20-inch intake height and 24-inch width suit typical residential storms and plowed-in driveway ends. Wet, heavy snow and drifts over about 20 inches will slow it down.
What is included in the box?
Expect the blower, chute, handles and hardware for assembly, plus a manual. Check the listing for whether engine oil and a starter cord are included before first use.
When is the price lowest?
Snow blowers usually discount in late winter and early spring as stores clear inventory, and again in early fall promotions. Mid-winter storm weeks are the worst time to buy.
What do buyers say about the PowerSmart 24-Inch Two-Stage Electric Start Gas Snow Blower?
Rated 3.6 out of 5 from 40 ratings.
