A premium, wide machine for long driveways where smooth controls and Honda reliability justify the price. Value buyers get similar width from Ariens for half as much.

Ariens Deluxe 24
#14 in Two-stageFull review
For a two car driveway with deep snow or a gravel surface, where the tall housing and long throw do the heavy work. The 24 in path keeps it easy to store.
