Know the right price for the type of blower needed to avoid over or underpaying. We discuss average costs across brands and types.
An expensive snow blower doesn’t mean better performance. Research models and see customer reviews and forums. Compare prices too.
Recommendations and Features
Our top electric recommendation is Toro 18-Inch 15 Amp Electric, available in two sizes.
Dual blowers add features to single-stage, like large wheels and lift capacity. Many have comfort, protection from weather, and won’t be affected by cold or heavy snow.
Impact of Type on Cost
Type impacts cost significantly. Single-stage is cheaper but lower depth. Two-stage is pricier but clears deeper snow. Three-stage is most expensive but handles deep snow on steep slopes.
Consider operational costs too – gas and maintenance over a season. These vary by model. Compare to pick cost-effective options long-term.
