Side by Side Comparison of: Husqvarna vs Classic Accessories

Great cover for the price! I got this so I could keep the snow blower close to the house rather than way back in the shed. I took a chance on this cheap, generic cover, and it exceeded my expectations! I left my snow blower outside all winter here in NH, and it protected it nicely and the cover hasn't shown any signs of wear. Took me a couple tries to figure out how to cover it properly, but once I did there is still room to.spare for my SnowTek. Well worth the purchase.

I use this cover to protect My craftsman 24 inch snow thrower. I've had it 2.5 years now and still no rips. I do keep the machine covered inside my shed during the summer. But, I leave the machine covered outside beginning in December thru March here in the Midwest.

Awesome product. It fits my Ariens 642E perfectly, full coverage with a complete seal around the base. The integrated stuff sack is a fantastic feature, so you won't have to hunt around for it when you want to store the cover off the blower. It's a bit thin, so a little common sense is needed to put it on the blower around any sharp parts that could poke through it. It's not ridiculously thin, about like a microfiber windbreaker/rain jacket, but don't expect it to do your job of protecting against sharp edges for you, its not heavy canvas.

This cover is absolutely awesome! I ordered a cover from the place that sold us the snow blower. After one good gust during a nor'easter, it took flight and ended up in the woods - found by a hiker, the same day this cover was delivered. Well, the one that took flight makes a fine bike cover and I could NOT BE MORE PLEASED with this cover. It fits nice and snug and it's not made from cheap plastic. This is a quality cover for very fair $$.It's roomy enough to cover the whole unit, but it has a nice tight fit at the bottom, no way will it take flight like the old cover did. It sheds water, snow and ice.The seller deserves better because he shipped me a quality product in a very timely fashion and it took me till now to finish my review. I highly recommend this product and when I'm in need again of this type of product I'll gladly shop this seller first!

This will work great if you take apart the chute and fold it down, like the ad picture. Otherwise with the chute up, it will barely cover the bottom part of the snow thrower. I like that this will fold up into a bag that is attach to the cover, make it very easy to put it away when it is not needed. Not the best thing for snow thrower if you don't want to go the extra distance and remove the chute every time you want to store it away.Correction to above review, You can cover the entire 26 inches snow blower with the chute stay attach to the machine. Just turn the chute 90 degree inward... :) ... re-rated to 5 stars... It was operator error... :P

I live in New England and because I have no garage I leave my snowblower out it the weather. (It starts and runs fine... It is a tank!!)I ordered this cover without high expectations. It fits my large snowblower well. The material is strong and doesn't break, cut or wear badly, even in the icy cold weather. The elastic holds tight to the blower and doesn't blow off even with just having a major nor'easter coming through.I'm very happy with it. I've had it on outside for 3 months now. I'll buy the same when this wears out as they inevitably do.

It's definitely not for outdoor use! Think of it as a dust cover and you're on the right track.As a dust cover, for the price, it's nice. I'm using it on a new 24" Craftsman 2 stage. It would fit correctly EXCEPT some of these newer new snow blowers have the very tall discharge chute which this cover is not designed for, hence on one side by the front doesn't go to the ground like it should. Still acceptable to me.

This Classic Accessories 52-003-040105-00 Two-Stage Snow Thrower Cover is a good cover but it sees a little light weight and thin. It will easily blow off your snow thrower I would recommend picking up some high powered magnets to secure the cover onto the side of your snow thrower I have not had it blow off since I have used the magnets between the cover and the snow thrower. Do not put this cover on your snow thrower when it is hot as it will easily melt if it touches your exhaust muffler.

Got this cover for our Craftsman 26" snowblower with some reservation after reading the reviews here, because I wasn't certain that it would fit over the unit. As it turned out, it fits perfectly (see attached picture). With the chute rotated fully to one side, the entire unit can be covered.It loses one star because the material isn't terribly thick or robust, but it's more than sufficient to keep snow off your snowblower if it's left outside. Would expect it to last a few seasons at least. Fine value for the money.

I like the quality of this item! Covered the snowblower - FINALLY! This cover seems durable but only gave it four stars since I'll have to check how well it protected the snowblower once November returns. The fit is perfect on my Poulan two-stage blower and there doesn't seem to be any stress points that might poke through the cover. Only time and the heat of summer will prove that out. The cover folds into a surprisingly small package that will fit into a pouch that is attached to the cover making storage simple and easy. I'll update this review when it is time to once again un-cover the blower!

Fits my 26" two stage like a glove. However, this is the second one I've owned. I don't have a storage facility so the snow blower sits outside, covered, next to the house. If you're storing your machine in covered storage then this cover will be perfect. If you have to store your machine outside don't expect more than 2 seasons from this cover. The UV eventually breaks down the fabric.

I can't say for sure how long this cover will last, but it does seem to be exactly the same as the one I purchased from Amazon 3 years ago that was made by a different company. That cover had weakened over time due to the elements and got to the point where it ripped pretty easily (the cover is pretty thin right out of the box). I use it to cover my snow blower (Sears Craftsman 2-stage) for about 7 off-winter months here in New England, and during this time it is kept outside in a spot where it does get rained on and endures the summer sun for some of the day. It does fit perfectly and keeps the machine dry, but since this cover appears to be the same material, I would think I will probably get the same life out of this one. You may get more or less life out of yours depending on the conditions and location of where it is stored.

This cover was good but only lasted two seasons before deteriorating and eventually ripping apart. I guess that about what you could expect for 22 bucks though....You have to be careful or it could easily rip on the snow chute or another metal part when putting it on.

Very nice cover however it's very thin I know it's not going to last very long and for $25 I expect better second problem there's a little bag that it all comes out of the little pouch however after you open it up and I have it on my snowblower that little pouch hangs out like a little parachute blowing in the wind catching rain catching snow I guess I could take the cover back off and put it on the inside however it's not very easy to slide over and I don't want to do it all over again so for now it's staying the way it is

This product is best suited for the smaller 2-stage snowblowers It will not fit well on any machine larger than 26 inches. Product does not fit well on my 11 HP/28 inch Ariens and 9hp/28 inch Honda. A motorcycle cover will work better on the larger machines.

Worked good while it lasted but I bought it in 2015 and it is now 2017 and I need to replace it. The material is badly sun damaged and very fragile.

This isn't too bad. It does fit, but it could stand to be a little bit bigger. I have a TORO 26" 2 stage snow blower and it barely fits. I will keep the snow blower in a shed when not being used, so it's not critical for it to be completely covered from the elements. If I had to keep this outside, this cover probably would not be sufficient. It would need to be bigger. It goes over everything, but doesn't go all the way to the ground, so the tires aren't completely covered and the front doesn't go all the way to the ground. The material is pretty good, but again...it won't be in the elements.

Fits a Husqvarna 2-stage well. Quality is mediocre. Glad I'm just using it to keep crud off he machine during summer storage as the thin material will likely tear easily if anything gets dropped against it. Can't imagine it holding up to weather.

Was too small and did not cover the Toro snowblower.

I have a mid '90s 24" Simplicity 2-stage self propelled snow blower. That is NOT a big snowblower. This cover is about 25% too small. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get it to cover more than the auger housings, engine, and wheels. The handles and gear shifter were completely exposed. I also feel that the material is too flimsy, and may cut easily. If you have a non-self propelled 2-stroke snowblower, this will probably work fine. They tend to be noticeably smaller than mine.

I decided to store my blower outdoor until I get the garage cleaned out, hence i bought the cover. It fit nice on my cub cadet 2x 528swe. I thought it was a good buy but the first decent wind storm we got, it blew off and away. It doesn't have sinch ties so I would recommend finding one that does. I had it tucked under the skids and Tires when this happened. I only had it on for a day so I wansnt too happy about it.

I bought 2 of these. One for a 21inch single stage Cub Cadet snow blower and the other for a 24inch SnoTek snow blower. While the cover is a bit big for the Cub cadet it does the job of keeping it covered form dust and grim while stored in my garage. I returned the second cover as there is no way that it would fit on the 24inch SnoTek. It is just not big enough or the right shape to fit that snow blower.While the cover would be "good enough" to keep dust and grim off my snow blower while stored in a garage by no means is it of a quality for long-term storage outside in the elements. The material is a thin quality that would rip easily or deteriorate in the hot sun. Spend you money on something with a bit more substance that actually will fit and last.

This is the second time I have purchased this same item number from Amazon. The first purchase (about 3 years ago) fit perfectly and withstood the weather very well. This second purchased cover does not fit the same snow blower. It is at least 4" short of material to cover the equipment. Very disappointing as the cover is of good quality material and not even close to fitting properly.

Be aware that although this product is described as being made of a "heavy duty fabric", it is not. It appears to be made of thin vinyl. If you are storing your snowblower inside a structure and you just want to keep it otherwise clean and dust free, this might work, but for how long?

This cover is a piece of junk. I bought a light weight tarp from WalMart that's thicker and does a better job of covering my snow blower. Also, you can actually move the machine with the tarp on, not like the cover purchased. Enough said.

This cover did not hold up against the elements after only two winters.

The material used for this product is extremely thin & doesn't fit properly, DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Doesn't fix way to small for 2 stage snow blower

flimsy poor quality.

Does not fit my Cub Cadet 2X 26" Snowblower. I bought this one as it's the bigger of the two I noticed from this company. It stated it fit 2 stage snowblowers....it doesn't fit mine. Material is thin. Similar to a Gas Grill Cover I own that ripped after a year of use inside the garage. I decided to cut the elastic cord on the bottom and make two slits along the seams to get this to fit. I'll make due with this until winter.
