Ariens 90th Anniversary Edition Platinum (24″) SHO 369cc Two-Stage Snow Blower

The Ariens 90th Anniversary Edition Platinum SHO is a new 24-inch two-stage snow blower with a 369cc TecumsehPower Snow King engine, dressed in a limited heritage paint scheme with its own badge to mark the anniversary.

Comfort features for long clearing sessions

Heated handgrips and an LED headlight are built in, aimed at keeping hands warm and visibility up during early-morning or after-dark clearing. Auto-Turn triggerless steering lets you turn the machine without squeezing a lever, and electric start removes the pull-cord step on cold mornings.

Drivetrain and build

Power reaches the ground through Ariens' Disc-O-Matic drive system, and the gear case is cast iron rather than a lighter alloy, which suits a machine meant to see years of heavy, wet snow. The chute turns quickly for fast aiming without leaving the handlebar grip for long.

What size yard or driveway does this suit? A machine this size is sized for a single driveway and walkways where you want a heavier-duty build and electric start rather than a compact single-stage blower.

What's the fuel tank size, and what's the warranty? The tank holds .8 gallons, and Ariens backs it with 3 years of consumer coverage under model number 921038.

Between the heritage paint, heated grips and LED lighting, this is the dressed-up anniversary version of Ariens' Platinum SHO two-stage line rather than a change to the core mechanicals. Buyers who already like the Platinum SHO's performance but want a unique look for the model year are the obvious fit here.

What colour is it? It comes in the 90th Anniversary orange-and-white finish, a nod to Ariens’ original 1960s paint scheme.
