Entry level snowblower
Original Message   Dec 15, 2007 2:10 pm
Hi  I live in New England and I have decided to buy a snowblower. I am thinking that an entry level one might work. Any suggestions between the lowes, home depot or sears brands:

Areins ST520EC, troy built 31AH63N2711, or craftsman 31AS6BCE799

All of these are a 5.5 hp double stage snowblowers for around $600. What is the value to go for the
 more expensive units like the Areins ST624E 6 hp or few that are 7.5 hp for about $750

Thanks,

ariens is very good,i dont know anything about troy built,and if you want to actually use your machine instead of wondering when sears is going to repair it,i wouldnt get one of them,craftsman brand is junk.my brother had one,i did his driveway every snowfall,his blower was a p.o.s.hope this helps

With Craftsman I think that depends on original model, and luck.
