Buyer Guide Snow Blowers

 If like me, you dread dumping snow on your driveway, you’ll want to check out these buying guide tips.

• Manual or Electric? If you’re someone who just wants the snow cleared without the hassle of dealing with cords, manual snow blowers would be the best bet for you. However, if you’d rather not deal with cords, electric snow blowers might be a better choice.
• Price. Price can range widely, but you’ll want to compare prices between similar models. It’s best to look for a snow blower that’s priced in the middle.
• Capacity. Capacity is the amount of snow a snow blower can clear in a single pass.
• Height. Snow blowers come in two basic varieties – standard and tall. Tall models have a lift that allows for higher clearing heights but at the cost of reduced mobility.
• Width. Width is usually measured in inches. Wide models are sometimes easier to maneuver around tight spaces.
• Length. Length is the distance a snow blower can throw snow.
• Amps. Amps measure the amount of power a snow blower has.
• Tires. Tires are basic, yet essential, parts that dictate the maneuverability of a snow blower

How to choose Snow Blowers

 

1. Price – make sure your budget includes the purchase and operating costs of a snow blower
2. Warranty – check to see how long the warranty is and make it a priority to read the fine print
3. Capacity – snow blowers come in many different sizes from a 24″” capacity to a 30″” capacity
4. Mounting Type – most snow blowers mount on the front of your vehicle
5. Speeds – most snow blowers have multiple speeds
6. Attachments – some snow blowers have attachments such as a scraper or blower to clear other debris as well

 

How to maintain Snow Blowers

 

1. Changing oils – this varies by model. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Changing filters – always, always, always change the filter.
3. Cleaning – some manufacturers recommend a snow blower-specific cleaner, but any lubricant like WD-40 should be fine
4. Storage – if you have the space, store your snow blower in a protected area like a garage or shed
5. Troubleshooting – if your snow blower is stuck in gear, check the drive belt to see if it’s wrapped. Pull off the belt from your snow blower and spin it. If it spins and the belt is in good shape, put it back on and give it another go. If it still doesn’t work, replace the belt.
