How to Choose the Right Snow Blower

When shopping for a new snow blower, consider these important factors:

• The size of the area you'll be clearing
• The weight of the snow
• Access to electrical outlets

If the area you’ll be clearing is relatively small, you can save a lot on an electric snow blower designed for small jobs or an appropriately powered single-stage snow thrower that can easily handle lightweight jobs. If you opt for electric blowers, you’ll need to have access to electrical outlets.

Larger yards and driveways prone to heavy snowfall may require heavy-duty snow blowers, like two-stage gas blowers and larger battery-powered snow blowers. Ace offers electric and gas-powered models appropriate for both big and small jobs.

Electric Snow Blowers

If you plan to clear smaller spaces like sidewalks and decks, electric snow blowers are convenient and maneuverable. They typically weigh less than gas snow blowers and are great for clearing lighter snow.

Consider an electric shovel for particularly narrow spaces like stairways. These helpful winter tools feature a streamlined size and lightweight design, making them perfect for compact areas. Both electric snow blowers and shovels require access to an outdoor outlet and extension cord, so remember to check your home or garage before purchasing electric models.

Battery-Powered Snow Blowers

While electric snow blowers have their place in your power equipment arsenal, their corded design limits their range. Packing more power than corded electric blowers while being independent of gas and oil needs, battery-powered snow blowers are a solid option for small and medium-sized jobs around your home. Battery snow blowers benefit from easy starts in cold temperatures, quiet operation and convenient maneuverability.

Gas-Powered Snow Blowers

While electric and battery-powered snow blowers are great for lightweight and medium jobs, heavy-duty assignments call for more power. When you need to tackle larger areas or heavier snow, look for a dependable gas-powered snow blower. Gas models deliver even more power than electric snow blowers, making them the ideal choice for dense, icy snow or large areas such as spacious decks and driveways.

Single-Stage Snow Blowers vs. Two-Stage Snow Blowers

Battery- and gas-powered snow blowers usually come in single-stage and double-stage styles. Both types help you efficiently clear your space, but they do have key differences:

• Single-stage snow blowers: The auger on the single-stage snow thrower breaks up the snow and throws it to the side of the path you're clearing in one motion. Because the auger sometimes touches the ground, this snow thrower is best for dealing with lighter snowfall on paved surfaces.
• Two-stage snow blowers: Two-stage snow blowers use an impeller fan to dispose of snow even farther from your clearing path and are better at managing heavier snowfall.

Complement your snow blowers by adding snow shovels to your winter weather arsenal when you want to tackle quick and easy snow jobs.
