Snow Blower Reviews

The Toro 38381 is another best selling snow blower, despite it being electric. Equipped with a determined 15 amp motor, the it will blast your snow up to 30ft away. That's assuming you've got 30ft of clearance space to use. If not, your snow is going to end up on your neighbors path instead of your own. It effortlessly deals with heavy mounds of snow, clogged up walkways and more.

This particular model has an almost perfect five star rating and is well received on the whole. It will cut a path up to 18" wide and 10" deep, and the 160 degree angled chute will efficiently redirect the snow from wherever you're clearing it. Despite it being an electric model, what you're getting is a solid work horse that will clear up snowfall time after time. Definitely worth the purchase and a recommended winter garden tool.

The Yard Machines snow blower is an excellent example of larger models that give plenty of bang for your buck. This is a reliable model, great for driveways, both wet and more compact mounds and snow drifts - and all powered along by a 179cc engine. The 22" inch clearing path will speed up the time it takes to clear pathways and drives, and the Snow Hog tires help keep it both steady and stable.

It's got a 180 degree rotating polymer construction chute that will help prevent the clogs, rusting, freezing and down time associated with other models. The two quart fuel capacity if more than adequate and another plus when it comes to working uninterrupted. A hard working machine all round, user friendly, reliable and solid - well worth the price tag.

For those looking for an entry level, budget friendly snow thrower, the Toro Power Shovel will tick all the right boxes. Despite its size, this is a gutsy machine, capable, reliable and extremely user friendly. Another electric model, it's pretty much a plug and go product. It will cut 20 inch wide paths, up to 6 inch deep, and throw the snow up to 20ft away.

You can adjust the handle to your own comfort level and its overall weight and size makes it one of the best models for smaller areas - such as balconies and outdoor staircases. Whilst the Power Shovel may appear to lack the size and might of the larger gas powered models, it's well worth the purchase. Size isn't always everything and regardless of what it looks like, this an extremely efficient machine. Absolutely the best under 100 dollars snow thrower your money will buy.

When it comes to small snow blowers, the Yard Machines Snow Fox sits right up with the Power Shovel as being one of the best available. Although a gas powered machine is highly desirable, sometimes a more compact version is the required tool for the job. In spite of its size, the Snow Fox is a tough, solid model, powered by an 8.5 amp motor that's capable of blowing snow up to 25ft away.

It cuts a path just over 12" wide on every pass and the three-way direction chute gives you the choice as to where you remove the snow. It's great for steps and deck areas, and anywhere that a large heavyweight blower isn't practical. This is a machine that manages to bridge the gap between the gas powered beasts and the back breaking snow shovels. An excellent model - a definite must-buy if you need the services of a smaller, more compact snow blower.
