The 1924E compares to the Craftsman Model 88970 2 Stage Snow Thrower. The Craftsman is wider, has an extended chute, 4-way chute, poly-tech glide shoes, and a larger motor for a street price of about $300 less.

Specifications:

Simplicity 1924E

9.00 ft.-lbs. gross torque, 4-cycle Briggs & Stratton Snow Series™ engine
24-inch clearing width
Throws snow up to 38 feet depending on conditions
12-inch diameter, serrated steel auger with 10-inch, 4-blade impeller
Friction disc-drive with 6 forward / 2 reverse speeds
Up to 200° chute rotation with adjustable deflector
13X5 inch Artic Trac tires for added traction
Steel Chute, Remote Rotation, Manual Deflector
Easy-to-operate electric start

Simplicity’s Description:

The Intermediate dual-stage snowthrower provides the perfect balance between convenience and performance. It features the power of a large snowthrower with the maneuverability of a smaller machine, all at an affordable price.

Built to handle even the toughest winters, the Simplicity Intermediate features the same heavy-duty welded construction with heavy-gauge steel frame, auger housing and chute found in larger Simplicity dual-stage units. Powered by the Briggs & Stratton Snow Series™ engine, it features separate choke and throttle controls plus a cold-weather primer to get you started quickly, no matter what conditions winter has in store.

My Opinion:

The 1924E  has a metal discharge chute and a 3 quart fuel tank, otherwise there is nothing special about this machine. This size Simplicity snowblower does have a good reputation from the owners but I’m not sure paying an additional $300 over the Craftsman Model 88970 2 Stage Snow Thrower is worth the extra money.  The Simplicity is repaired through your local dealer and it is up to them to offer in-home repair.  Don’t assume they do.
