A high-quality snow blower from Suzuki or Arctic Cat® will make dealing with winter weather much easier. Since you might need to use this tool daily, you want to select the right machine for your needs. One of your first major decisions will be whether you want an electric or gas blower. The following information breaks down the two types of equipment to help you choose. 

A Guide to Choosing a Snow Blower

Electric

An electric blower tends to be the best choice for those who don’t often have to clear snow but want to be able to do so after a storm. They are less effective at clearing once you have more than ten inches of snow. These Suzuki or Arctic Cat machines are relatively inexpensive and are small for convenient storage. They are also light and easy to handle. You can consider a cordless model for the most convenient use as well.

Gas

Gas snow blowers tend to be the most popular with Suzuki and Arctic Cat because they are highly effective. They come in all sizes so you can clear a walkway wider than 28 inches if needed or choose a smaller machine for tight spaces. They are best for those who have to clear snow regularly or who expect to get storms with a deep blanket of snow. Keep in mind that four-stroke engines are more desirable, since they are more efficient. A two- or three-stage blower is recommended for steep hills, large areas or snow deeper than eight inches. These systems will clear a wider path and throw the snow further away. Some even have power steering to make the job easy for you.
