What the heck has happened to Ariens ??? Isn't it an American company ??

I have a toro. :toothy1:

They make a nice unit with the chute control on the handle so you don't have to keep bending over each pass to aim the discharge chute... :violent1:

Sometimes my electric start button freezes up on me... :banghead:

i have a sams club special ...poulan pro has the chute control on the handle and electic start as well . its 4 years old now still starts on the first pull and the chute has never clogged. i cant say one negative thing about it.

here is a link that gives an idea on who makes what brand of snow thrower
