Electric Buyer's Guide

Electric snow blowers are truly plug and play.

You simply plug your electric snow blower into an outdoor power outlet then start snow blowing.

Yes, you're tethered to a power cord, but electric snow blowers are easier to store and maintain than gas-powered models.

Electric snow throwers are also lighter, cheaper and less noisy.

There are two types of electric snow throwers:

Electric Snow Shovel
Power ShovelElectric snow shovels (or power shovels) are really snow sweepers instead of throwers. These lightweight snow moving machines don’t have wheels or chutes. Instead, a paddle style auger pushes the snow forward like a broom.

Weighing less than 15 lbs., an electric snow shovel will save your back. However, you will still get a work out carrying and pushing it around.

An electric snow shovel is ideal for light snow less than 4 inches deep on sidewalks, decks and steps. Anything
more substantial would be inappropriate for this little guy.

Unlike power shovels, they feature easy-to-maneuver wheels and a chute to direct the discharged snow.

Plus, electric snow blowers feature more powerful motors, throwing up to 700 pounds of snow per minute. They are capable of handling 8-10 inches of snow.

In terms of overall handling and usability, an electric snow thrower is a better choice than an electric snow shovel.
