[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Husqvarna ST 424 Snow Blower, and it has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. Living in Canada, where snow can pile up quickly and often turn into heavy, wet slush, I needed a dependable machine that could handle serious winter conditions — and the ST 424 does exactly that. Performance: This two-stage snow blower is a powerhouse. The 24-inch clearing width and the high-torque engine easily cut through deep, compacted snowbanks left by the plow. It throws snow a remarkable distance, keeping the driveway clean and wide. The cast iron impeller and all-steel construction make it feel solid and built to last. Ease of Use: Starting is effortless thanks to the electric start, even on sub-zero mornings. The heated handle grips are a welcome touch — no more frozen hands while working outside. The friction-disc transmission offers smooth speed control, and the power steering makes maneuvering surprisingly easy, even with its robust build. Build Quality: Like most Husqvarna machines, the ST 424 is engineered with durability in mind. The heavy-duty auger housing, X-trac tires, and LED headlights make it a dependable choice for early-morning or late-night clearing. Everything feels premium and well-designed. Noise & Vibration: The vibration levels are minimal for its size and power. It’s not whisper-quiet, but it’s far less harsh than some other high-horsepower snow blowers I’ve owned or tested. Maintenance: Accessing the oil drain, shear pins, and belts is straightforward, making upkeep easy for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge. Husqvarna’s manual is clear and user-friendly. Overall Impression: The Husqvarna ST 424 is an exceptional investment if you deal with frequent or heavy snowfall. It combines power, reliability, and operator comfort in one rugged package. Whether you’re clearing a long driveway or tight walkways, this snow blower gets the job done efficiently every time. ✅ Pros: Powerful engine and impressive throw distance Heated handles and LED lights Smooth steering and easy controls Solid build and reliable in extreme cold ❌ Cons: Slightly heavy (expected for its class) Premium price — but worth every dollar for the performance Verdict: If you want a snow blower that you can rely on for years of tough winters, the Husqvarna ST 424 is a top-tier choice. It’s built like a tank but operates with the finesse of a much smaller machine.

it's slow in heavy wet snow like any snowblower. key is, it does throw the wet stuff. it works well in dry snow too! 24" isn't an issue as i just speed up or down depending what the auger can handle.

Bought this for Buffalo NY winters Love It !!!! Has not let me down once efficient starts everytime and runs like a beast Would recommend for any type of snow light or heavy

I purchased this snow blower a year ago and it throws snow great, I really love the heated grips and the headlights also are a great feature.
