A 24-inch clearing path

The clearing width the listing states. 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. It runs a 212cc engine, per the listing.

What it has going for it

What changes on a storm morning

212cc engine. A mid-size engine, the common size for 24 to 26 inch two-stage machines.

Electric start. A button or a key instead of a pull cord on a cold 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. 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.

Great for you if…

  • You dread yanking a pull cord at 6 a.m. in January
  • You'd rather steer a machine than push one
  • You clear before sunrise or after dinner

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
  • Your hands give up first in the cold: the listing names no heated grips

Engine, drive and what's in the box

What the PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage, LED listing names:

For the PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage, LED, the owner's manual settles the setup; read it in October, not at 6 a.m.

Price and availability

$933.84 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 B0FQTVK8M4), 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.

Cold hands? The EGO SNT2807 28" Two-Stage Kit (9.3/10) has heated grips, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

We like the PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage, LED for a 24-inch clearing path and a 212cc engine. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.7/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: no word on the throw distance or the intake height. We'd pick it if you dread yanking a pull cord at 6 a.m. in January; otherwise, put it next to the Ariens Professional 28" 926083 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

Turn the key or press the button. At 24 inches a pass, a 20-foot drive is 12 passes.

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 Two-Stage, LED 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage, LED any good?

We rate it 6.7/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How wide does the PowerSmart 24" 212cc Two-Stage, LED 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 Two-Stage, LED 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 Two-Stage, LED?

Its listing states a 24-inch clearing path, a 212cc engine, electric start, 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds and LED headlights. 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 Two-Stage, LED?

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 Two-Stage, LED?

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 Two-Stage, LED yourselves?

No, we haven't used it ourselves. Everything on this page comes from its listing, read line by line and weighed the way our methodology page explains.
