Need some help deciding on a new blower
Original Message Dec 11, 2010 10:58 pm

First time posting, hope you can help me decide.

I was in the market for a blower a few months back but thanks to my POS water heater going bad, I had to put it off till now. Been doing my research and have it limited down to a few units. Any help would be appreciated. The first one is the Ariens 24" Deluxe but not too confident in the subraooooo engine. Next up is the Ariens 24" Platnium but @ nearly 1300.oo not sure. Next up I like the craftman 26" w/ 208cc engine, power steering. Not too keen of the craftsman but how can I go wrong? They offer a 5 year extended in home service contract for about 250.00. (799+250 im still 300+ cheaper then the Ariens). Lastly I like the Toro 826 OXE 38624W.

BTW, im located in the New York City and the area I need to maintain is kinda small. I have about a 16' x 50' sidewalk, narrow single car driveway about 80' long (houses on each side) which fans out to about 4 cars wide and the other end I get a mountain of snow from NYC sanitation plows.

Any input on these particular machines?
