Best 24 Inch Snow Blowers (2026)

The SNT2425 runs a two-stage system where a steel auger breaks and feeds snow to an impeller that throws it. The motor draws from two batteries at once, a layout the maker calls Peak Power, which is how it reaches gas-class output without an engine. The result is a machine that starts at a button push and holds a steady auger speed as the snow gets heavy.

Its 20 inch intake is slightly shorter than the 21 inch Husqvarna and PowerSmart, which matters on drifts, but the included two 7.5Ah batteries and dual-port charger make it a complete kit. The older SNT2410 here, by contrast, ships without batteries or charger, so the SNT2425 is the easier buy. A remote chute joystick gives 200 degrees of rotation without letting go of the handle.

Ownership is where it separates from the gas models. There is no carburetor to gum up, no oil to change and nothing to winterize, and the 14 inch airless tires cannot go flat. The cost is runtime: heavy, deep snow drains the packs, so treat the battery count as your driveway size limit and keep them charged indoors.

The ST124 is the conventional gas answer: a 212cc engine, a 24 inch housing and a ribbon auger. A ribbon auger is a continuous helical blade that aerates the snow as it feeds, so it flows to the impeller rather than packing. That helps with sticky snow, and the 21 inch intake gives a taller bite on snowbank edges than the EGO.

It is less feature-rich than the PowerSmart models in this guide, since its listing does not mention electric start or a speed count the way those do. Where it earns its place is the warranty: three years bumper to bumper and five years on the engine, which is longer than the other gas machines here. An all-steel chute and molded console are practical details.

Ownership follows normal small-engine practice. Use fresh, stabilized fuel, change the oil each season, replace the spark plug and carry spare shear pins. Gas is a better fit if you can maintain an engine and need unlimited runtime on a long driveway.

This PowerSmart pairs a 212cc overhead-valve engine with a steel auger and impeller, and a drive with six forward speeds and two reverse. The listing claims up to 2500 pounds of snow per minute and a throw as far as 45 feet. That puts throw distance below the 50 feet claimed by the EGO machines, a gap that matters in a crosswind.

The 21 inch intake and a 180 degree chute give good control, and 13 by 4 inch tires provide traction on ice. It offers both electric and recoil starting, so a dead outlet does not end your morning. Against the AMERISUN, it has more specific speed and throw data, though the two are close mechanically.

Expect the usual gas routine: drain or stabilize fuel before summer, change the oil, check shear pins and keep the tires inflated. It is the budget route into two-stage power, and a sensible choice if your driveway sees heavy snow often.

The AMERISUN is another 7 horsepower, 212cc four-cycle gas machine with a 24 inch auger and a claimed 45 foot throw. It sits in the same performance class as the PowerSmart and BILT HARD, with a four-stroke engine that needs no fuel mixing. Self-propelled drive removes the pushing, leaving you to steer.

The 120 volt electric start uses a plug-in cord, so it fires without a pull in the cold, though it ties starting to an outlet. Unlike the PowerSmart it does not list a speed count, and its intake height is not stated, so confirm that if you face tall banks.

The unit ships in two separate boxes that may arrive at different times, so be ready for assembly. Treat upkeep as standard: stabilized fuel, an oil change per season, new spark plug and spare shear pins. It suits owners who want the cheapest sensible way to move snow across a wide driveway.

The BILT HARD uses a 212cc four-stroke overhead-valve engine running at 3600 rpm, with 10 inch serrated steel augers. Serrations bite into compacted snow and ice at the end of a driveway, where the plow leaves a hard windrow. The 6 forward and 2 reverse drive matches the PowerSmart, and push-button electric start is included.

Its 13 inch pneumatic tires and 180 degree adjustable chute are standard for the class. It lists an LED headlight, which is useful for early morning clearing and absent from some others here. Intake height is not stated, so compare that against the 21 inch figure on the PowerSmart and Husqvarna.

Pneumatic tires need pressure checks, and a flat or soft tire reduces traction. Add fuel stabilizer, change oil each season and keep spare shear pins. It is a reasonable alternative if you want the serrated auger design.

The SNT2410 is the bare version of the same platform: battery and charger are not included. It brings the same Peak Power layout, a 24 inch width, a 20 inch intake and a variable-speed steel auger. Trigger-controlled steering helps turns, and heated handle grips are a real comfort in cold weather.

Its maker states it can clear a 24-car driveway of 8 inches on two 10Ah packs, a bigger capacity than the 18-car figure for the 7.5Ah packs in the SNT2425. This only helps if you buy the larger batteries, which cost as much as a small gas blower.

Buy this one if you already own EGO ARC batteries. Otherwise the SNT2425 kit is simpler. Store batteries inside and keep them charged, and clean snow off the housing after use.
