Snow Blower Recommendations

[Uncle Buck]

Hi

My old snow blower and I had a final falling out so I’m in the market for a new one. I’ve alway had larger two stage blowers but they are heavy and take up a lot of storage space so open to change.

My driveway isn’t huge, maybe 8 car but I’m too old, fat and lazy to shovel by hand lol.

I’ve had really good luck with the ryobi 40V garden tool
line. I have a mower, trimmer and a leaf blower, all work great. I’m a bit intrigued by their new 40V 24” two stage but a bit pricy at $1700. I’m a little on the fence about a battery powered snow blower but zero maintenance and a 5 year warranty is nice.

Thoughts and recommendations for a replacement.

I went to EGO for my lawnmower (56v/5.0a) and it is incredible. It was time for my snowblower too, so I bought the small one for my short double car driveway (56v/5.0a x2). I have not used it yet so I cannot review its performance.

Fingers crossed.

Just bought a 24" husqvarna works good easy to handle will see how it fairs over the season - so far going thru a lot of shear pins but I think its my driveway causing the for a couple of reasons...

I've been using my Ariens Compact 24" almost ten years now. More than enough power for my four car driveway and small enough to fit it in my small two car garage if I have to. My only complaint, the handles are a little low for me.

Can't go wrong with Toro, Honda or Ariens snowblowers. I have a Toro single stage, it's 22 years old and still does a great job at clearing snow. I'm a big fan of the single stage blowers, easy to maneuverer, takes up little space for storage and eats snow like a mother#@$er!

Sadly none of em are "built like they use to" but I still consider Ariens one of the best choices.

I have an Ariens since 2007 and it's been pretty good - lots of power to get the job done and not too big for storage. The carb can be a little finicky so end of season maintenance and fuel treatment is key but I'm sure that goes without saying.

These guys have some good non-winter equipment but not sure what their winter equipment is like.

I've got a Cub Cadet for 3 year, good powerful machine, but starting to rust !

SeaFoam is a must for all your small engine storage needs.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve talked myself out of battery blower.

Leaning towards a single stage Toro or Honda

I’m tired of storing and wrestling a big dual stage.
