not Happy with app

Would Not Recommend

I was told twice in the lowes App that this snowblower was ready for pickup. First time I drove to Lowe's, I was told that the snowblower hadn't shipped from Ariens. Second time - today, I was told from the app that it was ready for pickup. I drove down to Lowe's, spoke to a rep and was told it was ready for pickup and would be right out to place in my truck. after 15 minutes of waiting, we were told that it wasn't assembled. I was upset that this happened twice and told them to ...

20 inches of wet snow - no problem!

Would Recommend

Amazing snow blower! It handles wet snow and slush without clogging. When the load gets heavy the engine automatically opens the throttle to clear the chute and keeps on going. In reverse the tires loose traction so I am thinking about ordering chains for the tires.

A needed size

Would Recommend

Today was the big blizzard of 2026. 24” locally, 1st time with the Ariens which I specifically purchased in this 28” size and power to be able to deal with 2 ft snowfalls. My older blower was a 22”, much less powerful and would really struggle with today’s snow. The Ariens is a big machine, needs to be manhandled, but cuts through the street drifts left by the city snowplows, with ease. As a result, it’s much faster that the 22” model. This was the storm I purchased this blower for and I was...
