Best Snow Blowers 2016

Updated on November 4, 2015

Snow might be pretty but it takes a lot of effort to clear your driveway with a snow shovel. If you are willing to spend the money on a decent snow blower you can do the same job in a couple of minutes with next to no effort.

Snow blowers or snow throwers can be divided into gas and electric models. The electric ones are smaller, less powerful and cheaper than the gas blowers. There are many brands of snow blowers, the only one that really stands out is the Toro brand, they sell the most electric snow blowers. In my opinion Toro have managed this by delivering slightly better value than their competitors.

Because electric snow blowers are more popular than the gas ones I have shortly reviewed 3 electric and one gas snow blower in best snow blowers 2016.
