Product Features
The Ariens AX® engine fires instantly on the coldest mornings with easy push-button electric start, and delivers the torque to keep the auger turning through heavy, wet snow without bogging down.
A 24-in. clearing width moves up to 73 tons of snow per hour, with a serrated steel auger and a 14-in. high-speed steel impeller that throws snow up to 55 ft — clear a wide driveway in fewer passes.
Standard LED lighting, handwarmers and an in-dash remote deflector lever mean you can adjust your throw distance and see clearly without ever letting go of the controls, even in the dark or a whiteout.
Auto-Turn power steering lets you pivot the machine with one hand, and commercial-grade skid shoes plus a cast-iron gear case are built to handle season after season of hard use.

Bought this to supplement my larger walk-behind blower — the Platinum 24 SHO lets me clear in close around cars and obstacles the big machine can't reach. Throw distance is superb and the 24" clearing width keeps up with everything.

I bought the Platinum 24 SHO to replace a 33-year-old machine — yes, 33 years. Both had dependable engines, which has been reassuring. The 24-in. clearing width throws great and the drift cutter option works exactly as advertised. A major upgrade in power, throw distance, ride comfort and steering.

I was hesitant about spending this much, but I'm glad I did. It cut my clearing time by about 30% on my long driveway, it's very fuel efficient, and the tank is big. The drift cutters work extremely well and mount in minutes.

Got a quote, went the same day and brought it home. So far zero issues with it — it clears great and looks even better in person than in the pictures.

We bought the Platinum 24 SHO after a rare storm dumped over a foot of snow that hadn't been touched in days. This thing chewed through packed drifts like it was nothing. The drift cutters and remote deflector were worth every penny.

This is my first two-stage blower and I actually enjoy clearing snow now. Seven hours on it and still learning how little I need to overlap passes. Very easy to operate and the auto-turn steering is a joy.

Third time out this winter and I have to say — pure joy. Starts easy, runs great, extremely comfortable to use. I have the drift cutter kit and it's worth every cent. Economical on fuel and cleans up in minutes.

We bought our first house this year and wanted a quality blower. The Platinum 24 SHO has been everything we hoped for — clears clean, easy to run, and comfortable. We'll be Ariens customers for life.

My old blower gave up after 32 years. I almost bought a single-stage like everyone else, but chose the Platinum 24 SHO largely for the two-stage design. Glad to have real Auto-Turn steering. With the 24" clearing width I knock out a lot of driveway in minutes. Love the new dash too.

First two-stage blower for me, on a long driveway with some slopes. Very happy I upgraded to the Platinum 24 SHO with the 24-in. clearing width. Six months in — throw distance, performance, power and dependable starting all rate five stars.

Bought this to replace my 20-plus-year-old worn out blower. Went with the drift cutters instead of skipping them and I'm so glad I did — drifts disappear in one pass.

I bought this at the beginning of November and I'm glad I did. It made this winter's clearing a whole lot easier and faster than my old machine.

Perfect machine for my needs — everything running well, no issues at all. Did my research online first and the machine has matched every expectation.

I traded in my old Platinum 24 SHO for a new upgraded one. Same great platform, refined in all the right places — I can't wait for the snow to start falling again.

Only a few hours logged so far but I could not be happier. Very easy to operate, clears great, runs very smooth. The drift cutter kit was easy to install.

Ten hours on it now and not a problem with anything. Very comfortable controls for a taller guy, and it starts easily every single time.

This machine is the ticket. I replaced a unit that was over 30 years old. The Platinum 24 SHO throws snow clean and far every time with plenty of power to chew through wet, heavy drifts. My old blower would bog down in deep snow — this one blasts right through without a stutter. I've gone over every inch of this unit and can't find a single place Ariens took the cheap way out.

I bought the Platinum 24 SHO with the drift cutter kit. The Auto-Turn steering is very light, and the AX 389cc engine takes deep drifts on my driveway with ease. Great stability even on packed snow, which is half my problem spots. My driveway has never cleared better.

I fought an old two-stage blower for ten years before switching to Ariens. The dealer talked me into the Platinum 24 SHO and I'm glad he did. My driveway had a heavy drift and it cut right through it. You'd swear it steers itself. Controls are easy and the handwarmers make it comfortable all winter.

Once I got used to the in-dash deflector lever, aiming the chute exactly where I want the snow to go became second nature — clearing season went from a chore to an hour. Support sorted out one missing bracket quickly and the machine has been flawless since.

I ran an old single-stage blower for twenty-plus years before this. As a two-stage machine the Platinum 24 SHO is a clear step up — throw distance and power are excellent, and the LED light and handwarmers make long clearing sessions easy on an older back.

Had a belt let go early and the dealer made it right immediately, no argument. Since then the blower has been perfect — clean throw, easy service access, and the Ariens AX engine has never hesitated.
