I measured my snowblower (an Ariens 824) to see if it fit the advertised dimensions of this cover. It seemed like my blower would be a little too big for it, but I ordered it anyway. It's a tight fit, but it seems to be just about right. So don't worry if your blower is a little bigger than the dimensions in the specs, but it shouldn't be too much bigger.

Quality of the cover is good---it is made from a tough material, has shock cords to wrap around the handles, wheels, etc, and has a built-in storage bag. The price might be a little high for what is essentially a fitted tarp, but it is good protection for my expensive blower.

The model 71007 Classic snow thrower cover is a well made snow thrower
cover. The built in elastic material around the base of the cover makes
it easy to protect all part of my snow thrower from the elements, including the tires. The cover also has a bag attached to the underside
so you can put the cover into the bag for storage. The cover is big
enough to fit any size snow thrower. This item is well worth the price.

I've have actually purchased two of these snow thrower covers, the second by mistake. Although it claims to cover most two-stage snow blowers, it could not cover my Yardman snow thrower. I purchased a MTD snow thrower cover which was the right size. The Classic didn't go to waste as I used it on my gas power-washer.
Having forgotten about the size issue, I purchased the second one with the intention of covering my Troybilt chipper-shredder, which is roughly the same dimensions as a two stage snow thrower. Once again it was too small, and I ended up purchasing a second MTD cover which did the job. I guess I'll use this Classic to cover stacked lawn chairs.

I bought this cover 5 years ago. It worked great for 4 years but it just ripped at the handles and blower shute in the 5th year. I think it was a combination of sharp edges on the snow blower and fatigue from the sun and weather. But 4-5 years is not bad for an inexpensive cover like this. I just bought a new one and it slipped right on my 24" 5hp 2-stage husky with out a hitch. My only complaint is that it used to have the company logo printed on one side, which made it easier to put the cover in the right direction. My new cover does not have the logo. All in all it's a good little cover for a cheap price. I would recommend it to anyone with a small 2-stage blower.

This cover fits perfectly over my 33" snowblower. The only gripe I have is the cover comes with a storage pouch that is attatched to the cover - I can easlily cut it off but I just think this was a dumb design. It is sewn on. I will probably just leave it hanging/attached to the cover so I don't lose it. Other than that the cover is sturdy with a coating that is weahter resistant. It is not recomended to machine wash because you could wash off the coating. The elastic bottom makes the cover snug and it covers the entire blower head to toe so if anyone was looking at it you wouldn't know what is underneath. It is also easy to slip on over the machine and secure. Also, mine doesn't have a 'classic" logo on it which the manual and box says it has. Odd

I purchased a cover for my tractor, and was very pleased, so I ended up purchasing this one. While being a lighter weight than my tractor cover, I found this to still be sufficient for my snow blower. My biggest concern was whether it would fit, and luckily, it did - perfectly. I have an Ariens 824, and this cover fits like a glove. It's snug, so I'm a little concerned about it catching on something and tearing at some point, but I won't be taking it off/on too often, so hopefully that's not an issue.

It's summer here, and with the snowblower under my deck, I don't expect too much weathering. Come winter, we'll see how it handles the cold/snow. Now, if I can just keep the darned critters away from it too, then I'll be really happy.

I'm about to order my third Classic snow thrower cover cuz they don't hold up very long. They fit my Yard Machine two stage snow thrower just fine, but the sun makes the fabric very brittle and subject to easy tearing. Maybe I should only use the cover indoors, but that isn't practical. So, I guess I'll just have to replace them each year - bummer!

Identical photo as the "Classic Accessories 52-003-040105-00 Two-Stage Snow Thrower Cover" except that the photo is left-right reversed and a name has been stenciled on it at the top. Apparently, the item is also identical overall except that it has a self-storage pouch sewn into it for a 13 buck cost increase.

Fits well and keeps the rain & dirt out. A good product at a fair price.

I've had this cover for a couple of years and it still looks good. I have not left it outside, though. Only in the garage/shed.
