Your Ideal Snowblower
Your ideal snowblower is just that - what is ideal for your snow removal needs and your willingness and ability to operate a snow blower. We've given you what we think are the 3 ideal snow throwers for 3 situations. Take a look. Large Driveways With A Lot of SnowI saw the two-stage gas Troy-Bilt 31AH5ZQ Storm 3090 at Lowe's for $1099. This is your choice for large driveways with a lot of snow. The wide, 30-inch machine gets top marks in snow-removal speed and the ability to dig into snow piles like the ones plows leave at the foot of the driveway. And for those very cold days, it has heated handle grips. It features electric starting, trigger controls for easy steering, and a single joystick that turns and angles the discharge chute.

Medium Driveways With Less SnowThe two-stage gas Craftsman 88957, available at Sears for $589, uses the same impeller design as larger Craftsman and Troy-Bilt models, putting it into a smaller 24-inch machine. You lose some removal speed, throwing distance, and the easier steering of trigger controls but gain the benefits of less weight, easier storage, quieter running and save $300-$500. Even at a price less than $600, you still get electric starting and the performance of a two stage snowblower.
Very Light Snow ClearingIf you don't expect it to handle anything beyond a few inches and are clearing a small walkway or porch, we have a recommendation for a snow blower. Don't plan on using it for a driveway. It is just not designed for such a big job. So with those thoughts in mind, the single-stage electric Toro 1800 Power Curve 38025 at $300, is a top-scoring electric snow thrower. Because it uses an electric motor, you don't have to worry about fueling and tune-ups. At only 24 pounds, it features easy handling and lifting onto a deck or porch.
