A 24-inch path, up to 21 inches deep

The clearing width the listing states, with a 21-inch intake. On our planner's maths (4 inches of overlap per pass), a 20-foot-wide two-car drive is 12 passes at this width, and a 4-foot sidewalk 3. The stated throw is up to 50 feet; wet snow lands shorter.

What it has going for it

What changes on a storm morning

21" intake height. How tall the snow can stand before you take it in two bites. At 20 inches and up, the housing takes a deep overnight dump and a good part of the plough ridge in one go.

Heated grips. Warm hands on the handlebar, which is the difference between a pleasant half hour and counting the passes on a minus-10 morning.

Two-car drive or a long country lane?

Two-car drive: at 24 inches it's 12 passes on a 20-foot-wide drive, on our planner's maths. The 21-inch intake takes a normal overnight dump in one bite; the plough ridge, top first. Plug-in electric start, per the listing, so the 6 a.m. part is a button.

Long country lane: a 12-foot lane is 8 passes, so a 200-foot lane means about 1,600 feet of walking behind it. The drive does the pulling, per the listing. Up to 50 feet of throw keeps the banks from creeping in by February.

Great for you if…

Your hands are the first thing to give up in the cold
You dread yanking a pull cord at 6 a.m. in January
You'd rather steer a machine than push one

Skip it if…

You have no garage spot for a 187 lb machine
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet
You want no gas can, no oil changes and no fumes in the garage: this one runs on gas

What PowerSmart promises

The seller states, word for word, in the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) listing:

Featuring a convenient 120V electric start system, you can easily start the snow thrower with the push of a button, even in the coldest conditions.
6 forward and 2 reverse speed settings and Hand-Warmers to protect your hands from freezing temperatures, LED light for clear visibility even during nighttime operation.
The 13-inch snow tires provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces, and the skid shoes can be adjusted for different surfaces.

Their words and their figures, not our measurements. A stated throw distance is a fluffy-snow number, and no listing tells you how it handles the plough ridge after a March storm.

Engine, drive and what's in the box

What the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) listing names:

24" clearing width
21" intake height
Throws up to 50 ft
212cc engine
120 V plug-in electric start
Recoil starter as backup
Self-propelled, 6 forward / 2 reverse

The owner's manual has the last word on oil, fuel, charging and shear pins; it ships with the machine, so read it before the first storm.

Price and availability

$999.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

On Sep 30, 2026, that price put it around the middle of the 18 gas two-stage snow blowers we have a recent price for.

The online price is the machine alone. Oil, fuel stabilizer, a few spare shear pins and, if it lives outside, a cover come on top every season.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0DRCSHHNG), where today's price, stock and seller apply.

A better fit for your driveway?

A wider drive, fewer passes? The Honda HSS928AATD 28" Two-Stage (8.5/10) clears 28 inches, per its listing.

No gas can in the garage? The EGO SNT2400 24" Two-Stage, Bare Tool (9.3/10) runs on 56V batteries, rated by its maker at up to an 18-car driveway per charge.

Our take

The verdict

The PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) earns its place with a 24-inch clearing path and a 21-inch intake. There are no buyer reviews to check it against yet, which makes it a bet on the listing. Where it falls short: no word on the warranty. We'd pick it if your hands are the first thing to give up in the cold; otherwise, put it next to the Husqvarna ST124 24" 212cc first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check the listing for what you have to put together before the first start. It weighs 187 lb, so have a second pair of hands for the box. Fill it with fresh gas and check the oil before you need it.

The first storm

Plug the start cord into the garage outlet and press the button (the pull cord is the backup). At 24 inches a pass, a 20-foot drive is 12 passes. Switch the grips on before you leave the garage.

Mid-winter

Keep a few spare shear pins on the shelf, and clear a clogged chute with a stick, never your hand. Our safety guide explains why.

Putting it away

Stabilize the fuel or run it dry, as the manual says, and change the oil. Our summer storage guide has the April checklist.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) ships, check your storage space: it weighs 187 lb, per the listing, so plan the spot it lives in and the path out of it.

Before you buy

Your driveway

Measure the width: at 24 inches, a 20-foot drive takes 12 passes on our planner's maths. Our clearing-width planner does yours in a minute.

Gravel or paved

The skid shoes adjust, per the listing. On gravel, the housing has to ride high enough not to pick up stones. Our gravel vs paved guide shows the setting.

Fuel, oil and storage

Measure the garage corner and the door, and keep a dry shelf for oil, stabilizer and spare pins. Our summer storage guide covers the off-season.

The first start

Do it in November, not in the first storm. Our starting guide lists what to check.

How it compares

How the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) stacks up against the closest alternative, the Husqvarna ST124 24" 212cc.

Criterion	PowerSmart 24" 212cc, 6F/2R Speeds	Husqvarna ST124 24" 212cc
Our rating	7.3/10	7.3/10
Intake height	21 in	Not stated
Throw distance	50 ft	Not stated
Drive	Self-propelled, 6F/2R	Not stated
Start	Electric + recoil	Not stated

Both score 7.3/10. The PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) brings a taller intake (21 in) and a longer stated throw (50 ft), so it has the edge on paper.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) any good?

We rate it 7.3/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How wide does the PowerSmart 24" 212cc, 6F/2R Speeds clear, and how far does it throw?

The listing states a 24 in clearing width for a two-stage machine. Those are the seller's best-case numbers: wet, heavy snow and the packed ridge the plough leaves both cut the throw short. Our clearing-width planner counts how many passes your driveway takes at that width.

What does a gas snow blower like the PowerSmart 24" 212cc, 6F/2R Speeds need?

Fresh fuel (with a stabilizer if it sits for weeks), the engine oil grade its manual names, a couple of spare shear pins and a dry corner of the garage. Fuel it and start it outdoors only: the exhaust carries carbon monoxide.

What do you get with the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds)?

Its listing states a 24-inch clearing path, a 21-inch intake, heated grips, a throw of up to 50 feet, a 212cc engine and 120 V plug-in electric start. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how it copes with your snow, your surface and the plough ridge can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds)?

Your driveway: measure the width: at 24 inches, a 20-foot drive takes 12 passes on our planner's maths. Our clearing-width planner does yours in a minute. Gravel or paved: the skid shoes adjust, per the listing. On gravel, the housing has to ride high enough not to pick up stones. Our gravel vs paved guide shows the setting. Fuel, oil and storage: measure the garage corner and the door, and keep a dry shelf for oil, stabilizer and spare pins. Our summer storage guide covers the off-season. The first start: do it in November, not in the first storm. Our starting guide lists what to check.

Where can I buy the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds)?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.

Have you used the PowerSmart 24" 212cc (6F/2R Speeds) yourselves?
