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. Size – consider the size of the area you need to cover
2. Storage – if you have a shed, garage, or basement, how much room do you have to store your snow blower
3. Throw Distance – how far do you want to throw the snow
4. Features – do you have an in-ground irrigation system?
5. Warranty – all snow blowers come with some sort of warranty, whether it is 1 year, 2 years, or lifetime

How to maintain Snow Blowers

1. Oil your Snow Blower – the best oil is WD40
2. Check all belts and tighten them
3. Check the water – if it’s dirty, clean it with a wire brush or hose it off
4. Check the spark plug – make sure it’s clean and waterproofed
5. Check the carburetor – it needs to be cleaned with a wire brush and sprayed with WD40
6. Check the air filter – clean it with a wire brush and spray with WD40
7. Change the oil and spark plug
8. Check the tires – make sure they have enough air
