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 big on an electric snow blower designed for small jobs, or an appropriately powered single-stage snow thrower that can handle lightweight jobs with ease. If you opt for electric blowers, you will need to have ready access to electrical outlets.

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

Benefits of Electric Snow Blowers 

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

For particularly narrow spaces like stairways, consider an electric shovel. These helpful winter tools feature a streamlined size and lightweight design, making them perfect for compact areas. With both electric snow blowers and electric shovels, you’ll need 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 corded electric snow blowers have their place in your power equipment arsenal, they are limited in range by their corded design. 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 size jobs around your home. Battery-powered snow blowers benefit from easy starts in cold temperatures, quiet operation, and convenient maneuverability.

Benefits of Gas-Powered Snow Blowers 

While electric and battery power 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 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. 

Difference Between Single and Two Stage Snow Blowers

Battery- and gas-powered snow blowers usually come in two different styles: single-stage and double-stage. 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 a 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.
