The older I get the more I need it.....


Exactly my situation! I am really, really glad I have reverse this year!

Aliens 24” compact- yes for reverse, but it’s rare that I use it. It is a lot faster for me to simply walk it backwards.


the neighbor , six houses down told me the same thing, he loves his machine.

My White 2 Stage is a heavy machine. Thank goodness there’s a reverse, man handling it’s a handful with a bad back.

Just purchased a cheapo 2 stage blower couple months back. Yes it has 2 speeds reverse and 5 or 6 forward. Works great. My old track drive was a pain in the back. Hard to turn around.

We also have an Ariens 24" Compact with reverse. Handy but not used that often. It's pretty easy to move without the drive engaged, though the area I clear is flat. The blower itself is a nice unit, and I really like it.
