• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch chute.
• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch clearance. This is helpful because it enables you to clear more snow with less effort.
• Look for a snow blower with a 15-inch clearing width.
• Look for a snow blower with a 7.5-inch turning radius.
• Look for a snow blower with a 25-inch cutting width.
