Two things happened last night. We got dumped on and I fell in love with my snow blower.
It's just a large Ariens...nothing exotic compared to many other machines.
But it worked very well and saved me (and my heart) from the stress of manually clearing heavy snow.
With minimal effort on my part, big orange moved everything I aimed her at.
Maybe not as far as some, or as quick as others...but she got the job done.
I will always enjoy discussing the many aspects that differentiate one snow blower from another as much as anyone.
But the fact is that any snow blower is better than no snow blower.
The most important thing is maintaining it so that it runs when you need it the most.
All other differences (except in extreme cases) are merely subjective differences at best.
