I’ll take my Ariens 24 inch model any day. Always dependable, goes through even the deepest (in excess of 2 feet deep) snows easily. I can do my 15 X 200 driveway in 45 minutes or less.
Ditto on the Ariens. I’ve had one for eight years with no problems - just keep it lubed and make a few clutch adjustments after it gets broke in. My driveway is 150’x10’ and it got me through back-to-back record snowfall seasons (over 300 inches total).
