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.

3.1/5
For a medium driveway, paved or gravel, in regular snow. The easy chute control and Toro dealer network are the reasons to pay more than budget brands.

Pros

- Two stage auger handles gravel driveways and plow piles
Cons
- No headlight for clearing before dawn
- Manual steering on a 184 lb machine takes effort in tight turns
