7.5Very good · out of 10#5 of 5 in our Two-Stage Snow Blowers ranking

Written from the listing's specs, not from our own use · How we rate

The WEN SB209E 24" 209cc packs a 24-inch clearing path, a 20-inch intake and a throw of up to 30 feet into one two-stage snow blower. A strong pick for swapping the shovel for a machine that eats the plough ridge, and one of our top 5 two-stage snow blowers.

A 24-inch path, up to 20 inches deep

The clearing width the listing states, with a 20-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 30 feet; wet snow lands shorter.

Why it made our list

What changes on a storm morning

20" 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.

Throws up to 30 ft. Far enough to put the snow past the edge of the drive instead of building a wall beside it. It is the seller's best case: wet March snow lands shorter.

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 20-inch intake takes a normal overnight dump in one bite; the plough ridge, top first. 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 30 feet of throw keeps the banks from creeping in by February.

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

Skip it if…

You want heated grips: the listing mentions none
You simply want our top pick: that's the EGO SNT2400 24" Two-Stage, Bare Tool (9.3/10)
You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Engine, drive and what's in the box

What the WEN SB209E 24" 209cc listing names:

24" clearing width
20" intake height
Throws up to 30 ft
209cc engine
Electric start
Recoil starter as backup
Self-propelled, 6 forward / 2 reverse
190° chute
13" tires

In the box, per the listing: A chute clearing tool, A recoil starter (backup), Snow tires.

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

See current price ↗

We have no recent price on file for this listing, so we don't print an old one.

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 B0CR6VWHF7), 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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc for a 24-inch clearing path and a 20-inch intake. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 7.5/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: no heated grips stated, while most machines here have them. We'd pick it if you dread yanking a pull cord at 6 a.m. in January; otherwise, put it next to the PowerSmart 26" 208cc B&S (13" Tires) first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check the listing for what you have to put together before the first start. Fill it with fresh gas and check the oil before you need it.

The first storm

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

Mid-winter

Keep a few spare shear pins on the shelf and use the chute clearing tool from the box, 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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc ships, check your driveway width: at 24 inches a pass, a 20-foot drive takes 12 passes on our planner's maths.

Before you buy

Your driveway

Pace out the width and the length (one stride is roughly three feet) and type them into our clearing-width planner. It compares the size classes for you.

Gravel or paved

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

Fresh gas, the oil grade in the manual and a stabilizer for the off-season. Our oil guide and summer storage guide cover both.

The first start

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

Frequently asked questions

Is the WEN SB209E 24" 209cc any good?

We rate it 7.5/10 (very good), #5 of 5 in our two-stage snow blower ranking. The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How wide does the WEN SB209E 24" 209cc clear, and how far does it throw?

The listing states a 24 in clearing width and a throw of up to 30 ft 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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc 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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc?

Its listing states a 24-inch clearing path, a 20-inch intake, a throw of up to 30 feet, a 209cc engine, electric start and 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds. 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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc?

Your driveway: pace out the width and the length (one stride is roughly three feet) and type them into our clearing-width planner. It compares the size classes for you. Gravel or paved: 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: fresh gas, the oil grade in the manual and a stabilizer for the off-season. Our oil guide and summer storage guide cover both. The first start: do it in November, not in the first storm. Our starting guide lists what to check.

Where can I buy the WEN SB209E 24" 209cc?

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 WEN SB209E 24" 209cc 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.
