ariens 11528dle vs Honda hs928wc

Hi, Next year I will be buying a new blower and I have decided between the two above. I do believe they are both very good machines. I want to know if anyone that owns a hs928 thinks it is underpowered. I noticed the Ariens 11528 has a 11.5 hp and the honda only has a 9hp. I don't mind spending the money on a quality product but I don't want to get something that is underpowered.

Well you know I wanted to say it but... t-t-tor... oh boy, better not. Honda GX engines aren't marketed with horsepower alone as their selling point. They are very strong engines. The 928 is a very strong machine. Some even say... "premium". hickster

Welome to the Forum Matt......... I think either of those machines will do you well. I believe the Arien's 1128DLE has a few more bells and whistles than the Honda. Heated hand grips, remote deflectors...etc. I have an 11HP Briggs and Stratton Snow Intek on my Simplicity 1170E. I am very happy with the performance of an engine in this class. It has done everything that I have asked of it. The Honda is the better engineered machine of the two, but the Arien's probably has more options for dealer support and cheaper parts for matainance as well . That was the reason I went with the Simplicity. I can get Briggs engine parts almost anywhere. Dan
