Great snowblower

Okay I think Ive stated before that I get home late. So after a harrowing drive into work thru todays freak snowstorm, I guess I kinda was hoping it would all be gone when I got home. Hahaha! I pull into my road and see our Jeep sitting parked on the road, drive past it then see my driveway completely buried in snow with a nice 2.5 foot deposit at the end of the driveway from the snowplow. Im tired from a long day and the snow which was packing snow to begin with has now been sitting there all day and is heavy.
I wish my wife could have filmed me with the Ariens snowblower. It just threw the heavy stuff like it was nothing. I get to the end of the driveway and I smile as the Ariens plows right thru! I have to tell you this is the best investment I have bought for the house.

Winter comes back

It figures eh here I was posting how I was going to put the snowblower away and I wake up Monday morning April 6th to a snow storm. Actually got a little stuck at the end of my driveway. Saw a couple of trucks in the ditch, school buses were cancelled etc. Just yesterday everywhere around was green grass, today a complete blanket of white.

A good winter

Now that it is April, I think I can safely say that I wont need the snowblower anymore. So this is just a review of how this machine did this past winter. We didn't get as much snow as we usually do however when we did get hit with snowstorms it performed flawlessly. On heavy snow the Ariens really performed well. This machine can throw it far too. I even used it on the backyard to create a hill for my little girl to play on. I only did one oil change during the winter, but will do one again either this spring or fall. I can honestly say that this is one of the best purchases I've made for the house. It has really saved me this year as I work late and get home late. So when I get home the plow has usually delivered it's 2 foot snow bank at the end of the driveway, and of course the snow has been falling all day on the rest of the driveway. No worries with my Arien snowblower. I still remember last winter spending long nights breaking my back shovelling for 2 hours in the dark cold night after a long day at work. That is a thing of the past.
Rating 5 stars.
