A Few More Thoughts On Snow Blowers

Snow blowers or as they are sometimes called snow throwers come in different makes and models and are available in both gas and electric models. I wanted to give you a quick run down of what I consider to be some to be some of the best makes and models of snow blowers out there. Remember this is only my opinion and you might completely disagree with my findings.

ELECTRIC SNOW BLOWER: In my opinion the best electric snow blowers out there is the Toro 1800 Power Curve. It is a single stage model that will clear a path about 18 inches wide. it will cost you about $300 and keep in mind it won't handle a foot of snow. Remember it is also electric so if the thought of dragging a cord around does not appeal to year you might want to consider something else.

GAS SNOW BLOWER: In the single stage model I would highly recommend the Toro CCR 2450GTS. It is a single stage gas model that sell for around $500. It will clear about 20
inches of snow at a pass. If you are used to getting snow fall amounts of 6 inches or less at a time this snow blower will work well for you. Toro has a good reputation for standing behind their product and offer a warranty on all their snow blowers.

2 STAGE GAS SNOW BLOWER: If you want a middle of the road 2 stage gas snow blower you might want to consider the Craftsman 88999. While not the most powerful 2 stage model out there it will handle the winter snow falls most people experience. It will clear a path almost 30 inches wide. Be prepared to pay around a $1000 for this model.

A more powerful 2 stage gas snow blower is the Toro Power Max 828 LXE and along with the extra power comes a hefty price tag. The Toro 828 will set you back about $1800. It's powered driven wheels are great for hilly drives and it is the only model that will work well if you are trying to clear snow off of a gravel surface. It also features all the little extra's such as a head light and electric start. I believe it also comes with a two year warranty.
