Ariens Path Pro SS21E 208 cc for 1 foot of snow?
 

I owned this Snow Joe iON for a few days and had to return it because it simply isn't powerful enough and snow gets stuck all the time in the chute.

So, I have ordered the following Ariens single stage gas snow blower:

Anybody has experience with it? Will snow get stuck in the chute frequently?

Thanks.

UPDATE: BTW, I do appreciate a 2-stage gas snow blower. I am OK with the more expensive cost, but I just don't like the bulkier size.

Don't have any experience with ariens. Looks like a nice machine. Reading some of the reviews on your link, people seem to like them.

I have a yard machine, and sometimes the chute clogs as well. I found that spraying the chute with pam helps stop the clogging. I also spray my shovels as well. Just a suggestion.

Thanks and that's very interesting. I guess I will to try it this winter to know how it works, and when it clogs, spray PAM.:thumbup:
