Ariens Zoom 50 Reviews & Ratings
Zoom 50" Good For Five Years
By Mike L.
Queensbury, New York
Review Posted 10/22/2017
My zoom 50" worked well for me for 5 years - now steering and power in left wheel are gone. Read into it this is common and real expensive thing to fix. Was great until steering problems came. Bought this from local dealer, not Mowers Direct.

Review Posted 04/16/2016
Had to replace starter after 2 years. Starter spring got eaten multiple times.
Mower is hard to service (guess that makes it a mower).
Break switch screws wont hold, so I had to tape the switch closed.
Break lever is out of adjustment and causes mower to turn if engaged while running.
On 3rd battery, they last 2 years each.
Clevis pins tend to break and bolts so parts come off while mowing.
Front corner of frame welds broke.
On 4th chute, bad all plastic system is easy to break.
Deck metal is too thin. Had to use large bar to adjust deck idler pully. Deck has been eating $45.00 belts with pulleys out of line.
With new gas, plugs and battery, it runs like a champ. Hope to get another 4 years out of it.

This mower has cut my mowing time in half from when I used a 42" lawn tractor. I like it a lot.

Why do they have it advertised as the 23 horse when I received it the motor says 22 horse the advertising is kind of misleading. They really should correct that statement of being a 23 horse It's a great lawn mower. I had an Ariens 1742 I went back to Ariens because of dependability.

Exceptional Mower - Easy to Operate
By Scott H.
Alsea, Oregon
Purchased 04/08/2013 |
Review Posted 04/29/2013
The Ariens Zoom 50 is the easiest, best zero turn mower to operate bar none. It is a solidly built machine and it shows. From the welded frame to the heavy duty sheet metal, this mower is sound. The Kohler engine fires right up and after I mowed the lawn the first time, I hit the field which needed it as well. The Ariens made short work of that as well with no issues. It's perfect for my hilly, Pacific Northwest location.

Awesome Ariens - Zoom50
By Scott
Alsea, Oregon
Purchased 04/08/2013 |
Review Posted 04/19/2013
I received my mower and removed it from the crate. After checking the fluids, I added fuel, hit the key and it fired right up. I then proceeded to mow my 5 acres which had grown to about 10" in length. The Ariens made short work of it. This is my first zero turn mower and it was easy to use, steers easily and exactly, and is solidly built. My property is hilly and consists of lawn and field grass. Regardless of the mowing terrain or grass type, the Ariens cut perfectly. It was comfortable to operate and the noise level was quite tolerable. To bottom line this, I would highly recommend this machine for all your mowing needs. My hat's off to MowersDirect.com for the ease of purchase and their enhanced delivery service since I live 2.5 miles down a dirt road. Their driver off loaded my new mower and assisted with moving it down my drive to my garage. Great service. Thanks!
