The Ariens Deluxe 921030 Gas Snow Blower is a 2 stage snow clearing machine with an electric start and an auto-turn steering for easy operation and maximum control. This snow blower offers very powerful snow clearing action on light, heavy, dry or wet slushy snow. It features a 254 cc Ariens AX engine. With a 28 in. clearance width and a 21 in. intake height, this rust-resistant snow blower features an electric ignition button for quick starts, and 200-degree chute with remote deflector control to easily change the height and direction of snow being thrown. A 14 in. serrated auger handles compacted snow and ice and aggressively pulls it into the blower while a 14 in. 3-blade impeller provides the driving force necessary to powerfully discharge the snow. There is a large, in-dash halogen headlight that helps provide extended snow removal time and added safety. And who would have thought to put heated handles on a snow blower.

Overall, the Ariens Deluxe 921030 Electric Start Gas Snow Blower is a well-built, durable and excellent machine which is built like a tank and performs flawlessly every time when clearing driveways and walkways at home or business.

Review Group #: 1 (4.50 stars) 20 Reviews	This machine works great • Has enough power to get the job done • Machine is quieter and much easier to control • This machine is a tank »See Details This machine worked great! The machine worked great, had enough power to get the job done and push through depths of snow we received. New machine is quieter and much easier to control. This American made machine has made this years storms easier to deal with, the throwing ability is greater than our pervious machine. This machine is a tank. My old machine never threw the snow more than 15 feet. Hopefully it'll get easier as the machine breaks in. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 2 (5.00 stars) 13 Reviews	Has heated handles • Great handling • Handles the heavy wet slushy mess very easily »See Details It also handles wet, heavy snow. I especialy love the heated handles! This snow blower handled all the storms with ease. This snow blower handles over 18 inches of snow with little effort. The best part is it can handle the wet heavy snow without a problem. I love the way it handles. I was pleasantly surprised as the 921022 handled 1/2 meter drifts with no problems, throwing the snow across my double driveway easily. I'd recommend this machine to anyone as it handled even the heavy wet slushy mess!. Not sure why someone would want heated handles? Starts easily and has handled everything we've gotten this year in Big Snow Country with ease. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 3 (5.00 stars) 13 Reviews	Heavy wet snow is no problem • Starts first pull every time • Works flawlessly »See Details First storm I used it on was a 21" blizzard; right to the top of the snowblower intake. Heavy wet snow is no problem. First pull starts every time. Starts first pull everytime. Makes effortless work of wet heavy snow. I used my snowblower & it lives up to the Ariens name.it's worked flawlessly.. I was in need a new snowblower as my old snowblowers engine blew up. It worked like a charm with the first pull. After 20 years of shoveling, I finally decided to get a snowblower. The Northeast was bombarded with snow this year,and this snowblower easily handled everything that mother nature could throw at it. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 4 (4.50 stars) 14 Reviews	Cuts time spent clearing the driveway and sidewalks in half • It plows through snow without issue »See Details It took several hours but I cleared my driveway and made a path 10' wide by 300' long to get to the town street and then cleared my neighbors driveway. This unit has cut my time spent clearing the driveway and sidewalks in half. The Ariens handled it unbelievably and I was done with my driveway, walkway and even had time to make a path across the street and clear my neighbor's driveway. Helped clear a neighbors 500 foot long driveway too.....not paved so I just raised up the feet and the Ariens cut right through the 2 feet + of snow. I used my Ariens 28 Deluxe all winter long and exclusively to clear snow in my driveway. Click, squirt, and pull, off I went to clearing my driveways walks and helped my neighbors dig out. We'd a 12 inch blizzard with drfting snow and the end of the driveway was plowed in by the city snow plow. This Monstah never stopped clearing and cut through 34 inch drifts and major plow berms. It plowed through snow above its deck without issue, and I finished our driveway in 30 minutes. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 5 (4.50 stars) 17 Reviews	Throws both light and heavy snow well • Works well in both deep dry snow and thick heavy wet conditions »See Details The machine threw both light and heavy snow well. I used my 28 all winter in a heavy Canadian winter. The Ariens performed well in both deep dry snow and thick heavy wet conditions. I live in northern Canada and we see heavy snowfall every winter. It performed perfectly in -40 degree weather, as well as mild spring days with wet, heavy snow. I'm looking forward to give it a better workout next winter. I'd plenty of opportunities to use it this winter and it performed well each time. It handled well and it cleared the snow no matter whether it was light or heavy. I only used it 3 or 4 times due the light winter we'd but very satisfied with the overall performance of this thrower. Absolutely pleased and looking forward for winters to come, almost.. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 6 (5.00 stars) 9 Reviews	Easy start and easy handling • Has a easy turn wheel brake • Easy to operate controls • Advanced machine • It is easy to use on grades and up and down hills • Very easy to turn »See Details easy start and easy handling. Axle realease functions well for quick easy turns, but not always re-engaging first time. Loving the hand warmer feature and easy chute moves on the fly... Especially like the easy turn wheel brake. First of all I love this machine. It's easy to start, easy to use, and does a great job. The new machine is so much more advanced with controls that are easy to operate. It's easy to use on grades and up and down hills, and very easy to turn. It even throws the heavy wet snow with ease. I loved this snow blower from the first time I used it. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 7 (4.50 stars) 21 Reviews	Works perfectly • Starts first time every time »See Details Machine has worked perfectly started 1st pull the few times I ran it. Starts first time every time, but I find three or four primer pushes are 100% reliable. My Deluxe 28 performed with flying colors each and every time.It started first pull each time and ran great. Bought the Ariens after our long timed owned and repaired "major" brand snow blower died for the umpteenth time. Downside- handle that controls shoot broke after second use, have to stop go around machine and manually turn shoot each time. I've used this Deluxe 28 two times, both times in about 4" -6" of snow. It started each time with one manual pull. Took my time and cleared everything. Used the pull start both times and it started right up. »Hide Details
