Ariens snowblowers are characterized by a double drive system, where the blower is driven by the engine's crankshaft and the drive wheels are driven by the camshaft (which is a natural 2:1 reduction in driven speed). Older Ariens units used a very heavy gauge steel blower and rake (auger) design, and many of their older units remain in service after more than 30 years. In rebuilding an older Ariens snowblower, the orientation of the camshaft pulley must be noted: right or left, when facing the engine.

Ariens lawn tractors are generally characterized by independent left and right wheel drives, making steering a simple issue of traction and providing far smaller turning radii than most of its competition.

Ariens touts itself as being the "mower of the White House lawn"; demonstrable by nearly infinite tourist photos.
