Tips on Buying a Snow Blower
Written by admin on November 24, 2011 – 10:48 pm -• How much snow do you usually get in a storm? If it's only a few inches, you'll be fine with a light and compact electric snowblower; for up to 8 inches, you'll want to upgrade to single-stage gas; for really heavy-duty jobs like more than a foot of precipitation or wet snow, only a double-stage gas unit will do. • Don't be dazzled by horsepower. More muscle doesn't always mean better clearing, but it can translate into a heavier machine. • Handle the device in the store. Comfort is important, so you'll definitely want to check out a sample before you buy. • Some features to look out for: headlights (good for working at night or on overcast days), variable speeds (to help prevent clogging), and electric starting (so you're not tethered... more

Troy-Bilt Storm 3090 XP Judged the Best two-stage gas snow blower
Written by admin on November 19, 2011 – 7:15 pm -Reviewers at ConsumerSearch.com judged Troy-Bilt Storm 3090 XP to be the best single-stage gas snow blower. Here is some of what they had to say. Reviews say the two-stage Troy-Bilt 3090 XP snow blower has enough muscle to plow though piles of snow. Features include one-handed operation and a four-cycle engine. It has nice extras such as heated handgrips, aexpandheadlight and a 30-inch clearing path. With power steering and six speeds, the Troy-Bilt Storm is easy to maneuver, even though it weighs 370 pounds. If you have a long or sloping driveway, reviewers say the Troy-Bilt Storm is worth the money. It's overkill for smaller drives and/or moderate snowfalls, however. Note that this is essentially the same model as the Craftsman 88830; both... more

Toro Power Clear 210R 38587 Judged the Best Single-stage gas snow blower
Written by admin on November 19, 2011 – 1:15 pm -Reviewers at ConsumerSearch.com judged Toro Power Clear to be the best single-stage gas snow blower. Here is some of what they had to say. For moderate snowfalls of less than 8 inches on flat, paved driveways, a single-stage gas snow blower such as the Toro Power Clear 210R is your best bet. You could instead opt for a low-end, two-stage blower like theexpandCraftsman 88957 (*Est. $600), but it weighs twice as much (190 pounds compared to 73 pounds for the Toro) and can't clear snow right down to the pavement. For $60 more, the Power Clear 210 is available with an electric starter, sold as the 210ES (*Est. $560). Both Toro snow blowers have a 21-inch clearing path and a throwing distance of up to 30 feet, but no headlight. The rubber auger... more

Written by admin on January 30, 2011 – 10:49 pm -Factors to Consider While Buying Snow Blowers Depending on the amount of snowfall in the area you live by and the efforts it takes to push off all the snow in the winters, several factors need to be taken into account before a purchase.

Snow Thrower Buying Guide
Written by admin on January 31, 2010 – 2:57 pm -The Basics: Snow Throwers Snow throwers can be a huge help in areas with heavy snowfall or for people whose physical condition limits their ability to shovel the drive. There are two types of snow throwers: single-stage and double-stage. People who live in light-snow regions can save money by buying a single-stage machine. Double-stage snow throwers are more effective in heavy snow, and especially in packed snow. The main things to consider when shopping for a snow thrower are the size of your walkways and the depth and packability of snow in your region. Short walks and a minimal drive may not need any kind of snow-throwing equipment, even in heavy snow areas, while long walks and double width long drives that are steep and winding require... more
