Snow Blowers FAQ
Corded is cheapest and never runs out of power; cordless handles deep snow anywhere; robots clear light snow on a schedule and do not replace a shovel in heavy storms.
A single-car driveway is fine with 18-21 inches; two cars or a long drive want 24 inches and up.
Two-stage machines with a steel auger handle wet, heavy snow; single-stage and cordless models struggle once it is slushy.
How far the chute sends snow. 20 feet is enough for a normal driveway; 40 feet matters on long drives and corner lots.
Chains help on slopes, a cab helps in wind and blowing snow. Neither is required for a flat suburban driveway.
Drain the fuel or charge the battery to storage level, and grease the auger. Ethanol fuel left in a carburettor is the most common spring failure.
