• 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 to a cord).

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 actually scrapes the pavement and helps propel the Toro Power Clear forward so it's easy to push.

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. If the sidewalk near your house has lot of snow piling up time and again, specific sized snow blowers might come handy. If the snowfall is scanty and doesn't mess the driveway outside your house to a higher level, perhaps you can go for one of the top rated snow blowers which are portable in size and easy to handle. Perhaps a model which is not as powered as a gas powered snow blower, but can be endured by a mere adding of oil and gas to the machine. Another thing to consider is the warranty and guarantee of the product. The store you are buying the equipments from must hold a good reputation and also provide good service support even after the sale is made. The warranty period of such products is generally a standardized figure of 2 years. In case, if you are purchasing the snow blowers from an online store, check for the free shipping and read all the online policy documents carefully. Its advisable to buy your purchase from a reliable and reputed online website.

Well, some shoveling snow tips and other relevant factors are darn necessary to consider while looking out for some of the top rated snow blowers. The question may rise in your mind as to why are they so important to consider? That's because if machines are designed to do a specific job, it's best to leave maximum amount of job for those mechanical devices to handle. Moreover its pointless stinting over an already purchased product and later regretting over its inefficiency to handle a simple job. With this take lets move on to know the best snow blowers ratings from the discussed content below.

Top Rated Snow Blowers

Toro 1800 18'' 12A Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025
This is rated amongst the top rated snow blowers of all times and holds a first ranking in the market. This machine is an electric snow blower which is designed for scanty snowfall regions and helps to in the snow removal in the shortest time possible. It's handle is ergonomically designed which has adjustable deflector and chute to scrape through the snow and unclog a pavement or a sidewalk in the fastest manner possible.

Honda HS520As Single Stage Gas Snow Blower
This machine is incredibly strong because firstly its highly powered with a 120 V AC electric starter and secondly it clears out 50 tons of thick snow at one shot. The handling of Honda gas blower is very easy, its chute has simple navigation controls which helps the user to turn radius in their desired direction. This way the work gets over fast and pushing becomes ideal and untiring.

Troy-Bilt Storm 3090 XP 31AH55Q5711
It seems that in the list of best snow blowers this blower has definitely bagged the prize more eminently. It is able to handle the heaviest snowfalls and also the wet ones in point of fact. Bearing features like, easy power-steering, heated hand-grips, single-handed operations, joystick & headlight chute control so on and so forth, there is really nothing more for me to say about it.

Craftsman 88957
This is a snow blower which is a moderate-duty tool. Although like all other craftsmen snow blowers, this one's isn't expensive at all plus it is graciously fully equipped too. It features six forward, two reverse speeds and has a self-propelled 24'' clearing width capacity. Which means you can steer the machine with one hand and use the other hand to direct the chute operations without stopping the machine at all.

Toro Power Max 828Lxe (38630) Two Stage Gas Snow Blower
In earlier times there were normal gas and oil electric snow blower machines constructed to drag out the snow from the grounds. These days snow blowers incorporate horsepower engines within the machine to increase its efficiency. Like this blower, it has 8 hp engine which serves immense power at the time of action. It features 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds navigation and also an optimal operation for monitor control. The moment snow is scraped off the ground it is immediately thrown back into the machine for recycling process. With such features definitely it has a class-apart amongst the top rated snow blowers list.

Suggestion is to do a thorough research in the market on all the products that offer the highest benefits, good prices and also go for a reputed brand name. Taking into account on all the factors for purchasing top rated snow blowers start with this article and you will get through your purchase smoothly.

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 a snow thrower even in light snow regions. Different sizes of snow throwers clear different path widths. Heavier, or deeper, snow requires more passes. If you have a 26-inch path and get 6 inches of snow, you can clear your drive in a single pass, if the snow is light. That means a total of at least five passes for the average 10-foot wide drive. A heavy-duty snow thrower with a 45-inch path would probably cut that to three passes, which, on long drives, or in deeper snow, can be a real help, but that's a lot of machine for a homeowner to pay for.

If you live in an area where annual snowfalls average 60 to 75 inches, a light-duty (single-stage, 5- to 8-horsepower model) snow thrower can be a solid asset. But in some areas where snowfall averages as much as 65 inches a year, the lightness of the average snowfall may make the use of a thrower difficult. This information is something that can be gained by checking with local weather people, with people who have lived in an area a long time, and, of course, your own experience if you've been in the same location more than two or three years. Among other things to consider is the wetness, thus the packability, of the average snow in your region. If you're in a town that gets 150 inches of mostly wet snow annually, you want to give serious thought to at least a 7-horsepower double-stage snow thrower. If you're in a location that sees 150 inches of dry snow as an annual average, you can think seriously about 5-horsepower and up machines.

Single-stage machines have only an auger to break the snow loose, lift it and toss it. In double-stage machines, impellers pick up the snow and toss it, after the auger does the first lifting. The two-stage snow thrower is obviously going to need more power, but will cut a wider path and fling the loosened snow further. The snow moves from the auger or impeller into the discharge chute, which is adjustable for both direction and height of throw. The discharge chute is at least partially closed. The partially closed models are easier to clear if they become clogged. Polymer discharge chutes work well, and are not susceptible to rust.

Single-stage (meaning the auger shoots the snow directly out the discharge chute) snow throwers have 20- to 22-inch-wide clearing paths. Single-stage snow throwers are for homeowners with relatively small spaces to clear. They are fairly simple to use and maintain, and they are compact and relatively lightweight, making them easy to store. Despite their small size, these snow throwers are capable of handling fairly heavy snows, but going might be slow in the heavy, deep snow of some regions. The biting action of the auger blades propels the machine, so they sometimes need some pushing help from you. If the machine has large wheels, pushing it is easier. Snow throwers in this range run from about $300 to $600.

If you live in the snow belt and have an average-size walkway and driveway, a medium snow thrower (up to 8 horsepower) is more than adequate for just about any weather surprise. They're an excellent all-around choice -- neither too big nor too expensive. They also provide wider clearing paths (24 to 26 inches). Like their larger siblings (9 horsepower and above), they are two-stage machines, meaning they are self-propelled with the auger ingesting the snow and throwing it against a rotating impeller, which shoots it out the chute. All but a few models are wheeled and use special high-traction tires. Those few that don't have wheels are propelled with wide, cleated rubber tracks. Snow throwers in this category may cost $500 to about $950.

Large snow throwers are for very heavy-duty use. They have more powerful engines and provide wider clearing paths (26 to 30 inches). Some real beasts have 33- and 45-inch paths, but these use 13-horsepower motors, have steerable wheels and are very expensive. Snow throwers with 9 horsepower and up are an excellent choice for homes with huge driveways, long lanes or very long sidewalks, and in areas with predictably very heavy snowfalls. The package is generally the same as those found with small two-stage snow throwers, but many parts may be of heavier stock for greater durability under heavy use. Several companies also offer one or more models with steerable tracks so that spinning wheels is no longer a problem. Expect to pay from very slightly below $1,100 here to upwards of $2,500.

How to Shop
Nearly all snow throwers have Tecumseh Snow King or similar engines that are specially engineered for cold weather and wet conditions. Electric starters are either standard or optional on most units, and we recommend them. Having a starter, which usually operates at 110 volts and plugs into a wall receptacle, means you don't have to spend time yanking on a starter rope, especially for that first use of the season when things may be a little out of sync.

Regardless of the type of snow blower you are contemplating buying, check for comfortable height at the handles. Many models have adjustable handle heights. Look for handles, grips, and controls that can accommodate large mittens and are conveniently located. If you have to manhandle a machine up or down a flight of stairs, check the snow thrower's weight: a 5-horsepower unit is much easier to pull up a flight of stairs than a 9-horsepower one. See what accessories are available to help you stay comfortable. Accessories include drift cutter kits (usually a pair of steel arms that jut upwards from the outside top corners of the impeller cover), chains to reduce wheel spinning and time wasted, and shear and locking pins to get you back in operation quickly when you strike an obstacle hard enough to break the originals.

Because snow throwers are very much seasonal items, you can often save money by buying one off-season. Too, they are pretty basic machines so models are often slow to be replaced, so your choices remain fairly consistent from year to year. Worth noting, however, is the fact that during recent years some popular models have increased the engine horsepower. This might be in response to heavier-than-normal snow storms in recent seasons, with expressed desires from customers for heavier-duty machines to deal with the added build-ups. Fast and easy is what you get from more power, and that beats hard and slow -- especially out in the cold -- any day.

Some are excited winter is near, others are dreading yet another winter. Whether you love it or hate it the fact of the matter is there will be snow. And why not remove it with one of the top-rated snow blowers reviewed below.

Best Electric Power Shovel
Toro Power Shovel
*Est. $110
If your snow-clearing needs amount to cleaning off light snow from short sidewalks or a deck, the Toro Power Shovel will save wear and tear on your back. However, since it does not have wheels, you'll still need to do thepushing. Despite initial skepticism, testers say the Toro Power Shovel actually works surprisingly well for its intended purpose.

If you just need to clear light snow off a sidewalk, porch or deck, reviews suggest the electric Toro Power Shovel. It has no wheels, but you won't have to bend or lift as you would with a traditional manual shovel. The Toro Power Shovel incorporates an electric auger that shoots snow forward. The Power Shovel clears a path 12 inches wide, and can throw the snow up to 20 feet. If you flip it over and change the rotor, it converts into a broom, which can be used to clear leaves, dirt and other debris. If you don't mind dealing with a cord but want more power, wheels and a wider clearing path, reviews say the Toro Power Curve 1800 (*Est. $335) will better meet your needs.

ConsumerReports.org includes the Toro Power Shovel in its latest ratings, which subscribers can access online. We found over 110 owner reviews for the Toro Power Shovel at Amazon.com and about 20 at Epinions.com; they are overwhelmingly positive. It's not clear whether ConsumerGuide.com did any hands-on testing, but its editors give a Budget Buy award to the Toro Power Shovel. SnowBlowersDirect.com reviews the Power Shovel, and offers owner reviews as well.

Best Single-stage Electric Snow Blower
Toro 1800 Power Curve
*Est. $330
Although it's only appropriate for light snowfalls and short, flat driveways, the Toro Power Curve snow blower has wheels, so it's easier to push than a power shovel. The Power Curve has a movable chute and an 18-inchclearing path. Reviews say the Toro 1800 Power Curve does a nice job, but definitely isn't built to handle 6 to 8 inches of wet snow on a long driveway. You'll have to contend with a power cord, but you won't have to worry about the engine maintenance and fueling required with gas-powered snow blowers.

Reviews say the Toro 1800 Power Curve is a good electric snow blower for light snow accumulations on small, paved areas such as sidewalks or short driveways. It has a 12-amp motor, an 18-inch-wide clearing path, and a 10-inch snow cut depth. This snow blower weighs just 24 pounds; it also has wheels, throws snow up to 30 feet and has an adjustable chute so you can discharge snow off to either side. If you'd rather not deal with a power cord or need to cover a bigger area, experts recommend a single-stage gas blower, the Toro Power Clear 210R (*Est. $520).

ConsumerReports.org has the best snow blower ratings overall and includes four electric blowers in its rankings, including the Toro 1800 Power Curve. Amazon.com has over 600 owner reviews of this model. We found fewer user reviews at Epinions.com and HomeDepot.com, but those that are there are useful. ConsumerGuide.com doesn't always base its ratings on hands-on use, but it says it tested the Toro 1800 and calls it a best buy. And SnowBlowersDirect.com recommends the Toro Power Curve as one of the best for homeowners.

Best Budget Two-stage Gas Snow Blower
Craftsman 88957
*Est. $600
Two-stage gas snow throwers are the best choice for gravel or sloping driveways. They also can operate in reverse, and they are generally more powerful than single-stage snow blowers. However, they are heavier, and they can't clean as close to paved surfaces as single-auger blowers. If you do have a long, hilly or gravel drive, reviewers say the budget Craftsman 88957 is a great value, as long as your typical snowfalls don't exceed about 8 inches. Nice features include a push-button electric starter and one-handed operation (which means you can adjust the chute without stopping). Its four-cycle engine is less polluting than two-cycle models, and you don't have to mix gas with oil. There are six forward and two reverse speeds, and big tires means you're not likely to get stuck. For deeper snows, however, you'll need a more expensive model.

Experts recommend the two-stage Craftsman 88957 for moderate-duty use. It is self-propelled, with six forward and two reverse speeds, and has a 24-inch clearing width. Like more expensive Craftsman models, the 88957 features single hand operation; you can steer with one hand and use the other to adjust the chute direction without stopping the machine. The Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 (*Est. $600) is virtually identical, but lacks single-hand operation; MTD manufactures both the Troy-Bilt and Craftsman brands. If you want a more powerful two-stage blower with a wider clearing path, reviews indicate that the Troy-Bilt 3090 XP (*Est. $1,100) should perform well.

ConsumerReports.org tests an earlier version of this blower, the Craftsman 88955, and includes it in the magazine's most recent ratings chart. Paul Sikkema at MovingSnow.com reviews the 88957, while the equivalent Troy-Bilt model, the Storm 2410, has received high marks from owners at Lowes.com and on the Troy-Bilt website.

Best Powerful Two-stage Gas Snow Blower
Troy-Bilt Storm 3090 XP 31AH55Q5711
*Est. $1,100
According to reviews, the two-stage Troy-Bilt snow blower has enough oomph to plow though those piles of snow left at the end of your driveway by city snow-removal teams. Plus, it has nice extras like heated handgrips anda headlight. Its 30-inch clearing path means your drive will need fewer passes. Power steering and six speeds means you won't be struggling to maneuver it, even though the Troy-Bilt Storm weighs 370 pounds. If you have an average-sized driveway and get only moderate snowfalls, then this snow blower is overkill. But if you have a long or sloping driveway and don't want to spend all day plowing it, reviewers say the Troy-Bilt Storm is worth the money. Like the Craftsman 88957, it features one-handed operation and a four-cycle engine.

The two-stage Troy-Bilt Storm 3090 XP can handle heavy snowfalls and wet, heavy snow, but it incorporates features that make it easy to handle as well: power steering, single-hand operation, heated handgrips, a headlight and joystick chute control. With a 30-inch clearing path and a single-pass snow cut depth of a maximum of 21 inches, this model can clear lots of snow quickly. The Craftsman Pro 88830 (*Est. $1,000) is essentially the same snow blower as the Troy-Bilt model; both are manufactured by MTD. If you don't need this much size and power and are willing to forego extras like power steering and a headlight, experts recommend the Craftsman 88957 (*Est. $600) or its Troy-Bilt equivalent, the Storm 2410 (*Est. $600).
