The higher the level of precipitation, the more difficult the cleaning process. It would be a good idea to purchase a snow blower. Compared to a regular shovel, there is no strain on your back.

What you need to know to buy a snow blower

Before buying a snow blower, you need to clearly determine, what challenges he will have to face. After all, each model has its own set of parameters and criteria. Therefore, give a clear definition of which option is suitable for a summer house or home, impossible.

In one case, the snow cover area is large. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to models with the ability to move independently.

In a different – The driveway to the garage needs to be cleared. Even the cheapest device can cope with this task.

For owners of walk-behind tractors, it is enough to buy an attachment. After this you can fully clean out a huge space. The power built into the walk-behind tractor will allow you to do this quickly and qualitatively.

Choice depending on the amount of snow

As we have already said, the choice of a snow blower should be based on an assessment of the scope of work. Therefore, you first need to understand, what fateto and How often will it be cleaned?

Men's playgroundher 50 square meters can be cleared with an electric snow blower. The price is less than 10 thousand rubles.

With a snow cover of 15-25 cm, such a unit will cope with cleaning, but it will be difficult for it. And if the snow level reachesO 30 cm, then the task will fail.

Influence of snow type on choice

Most models are designed for removing soft snow. A plastic screw is installed on them, which cannot withstand heavy loads. When compressed snow or ice gets on it, the service life is reduced, inevitably bringing the time for replacement of the part closer.

Therefore, snow blowers are produced with a metal auger that has a rubber coating.

So that cleaning wet or compressed snow does not cause discomfort, petrol self-propelled models are used. They have a power of more than 5 hp.

Because of thato hthen the non-self-propelled unit will have to be pushed, resisting heavy, dense and viscous snow, This will result in increased load on the engine. And this will not have a very good effect on his condition.

Autonomy

If you have decided on the engine (petrol, diesel or electric), then you need to think about autonomy.This means the ability to work without connecting to power sources.

If cleaning will only take half an hour a day, then a cordless snow blower will be the best option. This model is slightly more expensive than the electric one. However, you don’t need to think about:

• wire length,
• cable cross section,
• possibility of wire damage.

To ensure autonomy, it is possible to install an attachment on a walk-behind tractor or mini-tractor. This will result in a cheap device thatoh will do the job just as well.

Manufacturer companiesto her

In modern realities, purchasing equipment from a well-known brand does not provide any guarantees. In fact, snow blowers from Honda or Daewoo are worse than ToChinese or RRussian technology.

Besides, The operating time of the snow blower depends on the operating options. If a good and high-quality device is not maintained correctly or is forced to remove inappropriate snow, then it will not last long.

Even RRussian models from Caliber or Interskol will servebtwell, as well as a cleaner from a top company. One condition – competent service.

You can evaluate this or that device on specialized forums. There are a lot of reviews and detailed reviews there. Onlye, they must be treated with caution. Most of them are written for payment.
