Ratings & Reviews for Ariens Deluxe 28-in Two-stage 252-cc Self-propelled Gas Snow Blower

Not yet convinced...but hopeful

I moved to NH a few months ago all excited about snowy winters (yes some of you will beg to differ) and this snowblower was my very first toy! I got it delivered the weekend before a snow storm so everything was looking great. Unfortunately when I started it for the big day right after the storm the machine would not engage traction: no going forward nor backward. Ugh...Had to rely on a really nice neighbor who plowed my 200 feet long driveway with his truck. Lowes came to pick up this brand n...

Make sure you have a reputable dealership check

I received my Ariens deluxe 28 SHO and I was very excited having owned an Ariens for the last 11 years. The next day i proceeded to use the snowblower, after 2 hours of using it, the anger stopped working, very upsetting considering it was only used for 2 hours. I knew it was still under warranty. I proceeded to remove the belt cover and saw that the auger drive belt was off. Then i noticed that there was 2 bolts on the bottom of the case which was either not installed or had vibrated off. T...

Awesome machine!

I bought this model last October. Mild winter up to a week ago then the snow storms started here in CT. Used it for the first time this week and was truly impressed with its performance and quality. I would highly recommend this snow blower!

Delivery was delivered on-time as promised

I would prefer that I didn't have to adjust the drive system right out of the box. The deliver crew was very professional and courteous.

The heavier the better

I am on my third winter with this blower and I love it. I live in West Michigan, where the snow is heavy wet, and we get a lot of it. I've had no issues with heavy lake effect snow. This snow blower has handled 10 inches (plus) of fresh heavy snow and it just throws it. Highly recommend!

Snow Blower runs great.

Snow Blower runs great. Thank you

Awesome!

Great machine, easy operation starts super easy and moves tons of snow

Powerful and easy to use

Great machine! Bought it pre assembled from store, used it 7 times so far over the past 2 months. It works great, whether it's 2-3" or a foot, light and fluffy or dense and slushy it throws as far as I need it to. No problems with the pull start, it fires right up without even priming it as I leave it in my garage with heat on low. It is easy to figure out and use, traction has been great even on my steep grassy hill on the side of my house. Skids are easy to adjust to whatever height you need d...

Deluxe series snowblower

This is the best snowblower I have ever had my wife had no trouble used it either

Mr.

I bought Ariens 28 in deluxe snow blower because I needed more power in a snow blower. I was not disappointed,. It was a BEAST. Best snow blower I ever had. I am very glad I made the purchase. Five Stars

Home Owner

We’ve had two snow falls, the first one was 28”, the second was 6+”. The snow blower did an outstanding job on both. It didn’t bog down even in the deepest areas especially at the end of the driveway where the plows clear the street. I have noticed though that the handle that control’s the snow shoot seems to shift back a couple of turns whereas I have to keep correcting it. I do believe some more thought needs to be put into it.Toro has a pretty good system where i...

Wisconsin Snow King

This is my 3rd Ariens snow blower and none of the first two “died””causing replacement - just upgraded. My first was a 24 inch; my 2nd was 24 inches and added heated handgrips; my third is 30 inches with heated added handgrips. Very powerful an dependable beast in all Wisconsin snow conditions. Most times, I use the pull start - starts 1st pull Everytime - instead of hocking up the electrical cord. You can’t beat the craftsman ship of an Ariens

Game Changer

I recently purchased the Ariens deluxe 28 to replace an old 24" Craftsman. While the Craftsman did the job I needed, I did not realize how much better and productive the 28 deluxe from Ariens was. It can handle any of the snow we get here in Saskatchewan with ease and I am amazed at how far it will throw the snow. When it says up to 50' they mean it. I am able to completely clear my double wide driveway cutting my removal time down by quite a bit and it is easier on the machine as well....

Incredible machine

Super powerful snow blower with no problem cutting through wet and heavy Wisconsin snow. It’s been durable and no problem starting throughout the season. Restarted no problem this week preparing for winter.

Delux 28 great machine

This is a great machin mine is 2 years old I picked it up from my neighbor. I have to say you never realize how bad you old Snowblower was until you have a top quality one like this. I have read reviews and watched videos but actually running the Snowblower ads an entire new level of appreciation to the quality. Mine is brand new it was used 3 times before I grabbed it. And I love this machine. My only complaint is I wish the handles were a couple inches taller. I am 6'5" and so I have ...

retired

I bought a 28 Deluxe, this is a very good machine, throwing distance is great and goes thru deep snow with ease, engine starts 1st pull evey time, have not tried the electric start because it starts so easy. Our old Ariens was 37 years old and finally was wearing out, we live in Interior Alaska so it gets a lot of use, 6 months per year and that's why we bought another Ariens, good machine...

Can’t find the parts I need I have been to my local dealer and on this website.
