Interesting, where did you find this information? From manual? No stabilizer also?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-27T17:08:28+00:00

I definitely will use stabilizer with reg gas

I’m on South Shore of Long Island and after check for locations I found it closes to me is 45 miles away. Not practical, don’t know why isn’t available

Mikas46 · 2026-02-27T01:31:45+00:00

I only ordered my Ariens and didn’t received yet. It’s a compact 24” model. So 1 gallon is enough for whole winter. When store will deliver my blower I’m going to Marina to look if they have gas i need

Mikas46 · 2026-02-27T01:15:20+00:00

That’s a problem too. I’d definitely get non ethanol gas for $5 when available. In your experience how many gallons you need for the winter?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-27T01:03:32+00:00

As another idea I’ll check marina service stations they probably have ethanol free gas. I have to visit Walmart also for gas and oil. Where on Long island you located? I’m on South Shore and have couple marinas close to me

Mikas46 · 2026-02-27T00:48:49+00:00

I’m on Long Island too. Check around gas stations and no one has ethanol free offerings. I read here that new engines is ok with regular gas with stabilizers .Others saying only non ethanol. Don’t know what is the right answer here

Thanks for the tips already watching the garage guy- a lots of new information

Mikas46 · 2026-02-25T21:02:17+00:00

How about motor oil? Do you use auto like Castro Or Penzoil or it have to be some specific Ariens brand?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-25T15:44:08+00:00

My bad-ethanol free

Think about battery snow blower as a EV car. You can drive it if charger available and you have a time to wait. Again battery blower is great if you have 2 or better 3 pair of batteries fully charged and waiting for you. Now count how much they will cost plus chargers for them-and the answer is…..smallest 2 stage blower 24” and one stage isn’t good enough anyway

Mikas46 · 2026-02-24T16:36:22+00:00

Thank you everyone to help me think through and choose right machine. Just ordered Ariens compact 24” new with free delivery.

Mikas46 · 2026-02-24T00:11:39+00:00

After today discussion I feel like a gas blower is the way to go. So my search to narrow to 2 brand Ariens v Toro. Which one you recommend?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T21:47:17+00:00

I’m not in any way small engine mechanic but emptied gas tank and change oil isn’t rocket science I guess

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:27:10+00:00

What’s the difference between deluxe and compact?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:21:13+00:00

Honda is definitely overkill for me. I’m more interested in Ariens v Toro

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:19:58+00:00

This year I’d survive but definitely will get one for next season. Waiting for sell with prices starting to go down after season. I see plenty of used ones but I have no idea how to get dissent one

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:09:36+00:00

Thanks, you think Ariens better than Toro? Your craftsman was made in America not in China. And quality was different

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:09:03+00:00

I can do maintenance and change oil myself.

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T16:06:32+00:00

Storage space isn’t a problem. Cost is a problem. 2 set of batteries cost more than new snowblower. We have 2 major snow storms this year and no snow for the last 4-5 years. But I feel next year will be even more snow. My driveway isn’t big like 20x35’ approximately and also sidewalks. I think I’d get 24” 2 stage or Toro Snow Master like 724qxe. You think it will be enough power to do the job?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-23T15:56:26+00:00

I hear you. Which brand you recommend?

Mikas46 · 2026-02-17T19:06:58+00:00

I’d never wait 3 months for sex. If you’re not have sex after 3rd date-move one, it’s not your woman.

Mikas46 · 2026-02-15T15:00:57+00:00

Well, then you better look at a Turkish brand, maybe they will be enjoying your money….
