Power+ Peak Power SNT2416 24 in. Two stage 56 V Battery Snow Blower Kit (Battery & Charger)

The EGO POWER+ Peak Power Snow Blower, model SNT2416, presents a potent, battery-powered solution for managing heavy snowfall. This robust two-stage, self-propelled snow blower features a 24-inch intake height, excelling in quiet operation and producing zero emissions, which sharply contrasts with conventional gas models. It comes equipped with heated handle grips for added comfort in frigid conditions, and a 2-in-1 chute adjustment lever that provides 200-degree directional control. Utilizing Peak Power+ technology, it efficiently clears a 24-car driveway covered in 8 inches of snow on just one charge and has the capability to launch snow as far as 50 feet. Additionally, its IPX4-rated weather resistance and trigger-controlled steering enhance both its durability and maneuverability. Backed by a 5-year warranty, this snow blower is a dependable and efficient tool for seamless snow removal.

“If you live in an area that gets a substantial amount of snow and you find yourself constantly needing to use a snow blower during the winter, this is probably your best choice,” Moreno said. “It might cost more than the other options, but it's a great investment.”

Power+ Power SNT2405 24 in. Two stage 56 V Battery Snow Blower Kit (Battery & Charger)

The EGO POWER+ 24 in. Self-Propelled 2-Stage XP Snow Blower is a game-changer in snow removal technology. This robust, battery-powered machine rivals the strength of gas blowers without their accompanying noise and emissions. It features a 24-inch clearing width and a 20-inch intake height, capable of handling serious snowfall. The heated handle grips and trigger-controlled steering enhance user comfort and maneuverability in harsh conditions. Its innovative 2-in-1 chute adjustment lever offers 200-degree control, ensuring precise snow displacement. Powered by two 10.0Ah EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries, it clears a 24-car driveway on a single charge and launches snow up to 50 feet. Added conveniences like variable-speed control, IPX4 weather resistance, and LED lighting for low visibility conditions make this snow blower a top choice for those seeking efficiency and ease in their snow clearing tasks. With a 5-year warranty on both the tool and battery, the EGO POWER+ Snow Blower stands as a reliable ally against winter's toughest challenges.

“This one is a bit less expensive choice than the SNT2416, yet it still works excellently,” Moreno noted. “Both models are equipped with warming handles and all that jazz; however, this one features a moderately shorter intake height.”

Power + Peak Power SNT2125AP 21 in. Single stage 56 V Battery Auger-Propelled Snow Blower Kit

The EGO POWER+ Auger-Propelled Snow Blower, model SNT2125AP, combines power and convenience in a cordless design, challenging gas-powered counterparts without their noise and emissions. It features Peak Power technology, merging two EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries for formidable snow-clearing. With an 11.5-inch intake height and rubber paddles for ground contact, it efficiently cuts through heavy snow and clears a path. The auger-propelled system moves the blower forward while ejecting snow up to 45 feet, capable of handling a 16-car driveway with 8 inches of snow on a single charge. Key features include heated handle grips, a high-efficiency brushless motor, and a 21-inch clearing width. Its weather-resistant build and LED headlights ensure reliable performance in diverse winter conditions.

“This one is a marginally more affordable option than the other two blowers featured, but if you dwell in an area that doesn’t typically get more than 10 or so inches of snow, this is probably your optimal choice,” Moreno said. “It still has all the required features, but its intake height is 11.5 inches.”

Power+ Multi-Head System MSS1203 12 in. 56 V Battery Snow Thrower Kit (Battery & Charger)

The EGO POWER+ Snow Thrower Kit, an integral component of the Multi-Head System, brings a revolutionary approach to cordless snow removal with its 25-foot throwing distance and directional control. This electric shovel, featuring a 6-inch intake height, is perfect for clearing sidewalks, driveways, and decks. It efficiently handles a 12-inch path and can clear up to 6 inches of snow on a 4-car driveway with a single charge of its 56V 4.0Ah ARC Lithium battery. The shovel's overload protection system safeguards the motor during heavy usage, and its compatibility with all EGO Multi-Head attachments adds versatility. The kit includes a brushless motor, variable speed trigger, and safety lock-off switch. Complete with a Snow Shovel Attachment, Power Head, battery, and charger, it's backed by a robust warranty. This kit is a powerful yet convenient choice for snow clearing, free from noise and fumes.

“This snow thrower is excellent for clearing up your driveway or walkway after a light snowfall,” Moreno remarked. “And you don't have to worry about a cord since it's cordless.”

Deluxe 24 in. 254 cc Two Stage Gas Snow Blower Electric Start

The Ariens Deluxe 24 inch Snow Blower is a powerful, yet compact machine designed for efficient snow removal from both residential and commercial areas. This robust model features a 24-inch clearing width and a 21-inch intake height, capable of moving 62 tons of snow per hour, making quick work of even the heaviest snowfall. Constructed entirely from steel, including the chute and dash, it promises durability and long-lasting performance. It’s self-propelled with 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds, allowing you to clear snow at your preferred pace. Its user-friendly design includes an electric start, remote chute control, and an in-dash headlight, all operable from the dashboard. The snow blower also boasts a 14-inch auger and impeller diameter, tall housing height, and auto-turn triggerless steering for ease of use. Additionally, its interlocking handles enable one-handed operation, and the in-dash lever controls the deflector. With a 3-year warranty, the Ariens Deluxe 24 inch Snow Blower is a reliable choice for those seeking a potent snow-clearing tool.

“The Ariens Deluxe is comparable to the EGO SNT2405, but evidently a different brand. The principal difference between these two are battery-operated versus fuel-driven,” Moreno highlighted. “This one is fueled by gas, so it's up to the consumer's preference.”

Power Clear 21 in. 212 cc Single Stage Gas Snow Blower Electric Start

The Toro Power Clear 721 E Single Stage 21 in. Gas Snow Blower, with a 12.5-inch intake height, stands as a powerful force in snow removal, merging power and efficiency. Its 212cc 4-cycle OHV engine enables it to launch snow up to 35 feet. Easy to start with an electric start button, it features the patented Power Curve system for rapid snow shredding. The self-propelled Power Propel system allows for quick, effortless movement. Compact in design, it's perfect for storage in tight garage spaces. This blower is well-suited for medium-sized driveways, effectively handling 2-9 inches of snow. It includes a mounted chute lever for accurate snow direction and a locking deflector for control. Backed by a 2-year full warranty and a Guaranteed-to-Start promise, the Toro Power Clear 721 E offers dependable performance for challenging winter conditions.

“This is similar to the EGO SNT2125AP, yet again, the distinction lies between being powered by batteries or gas,” Moreno noted. “This one is also marginally less expensive.”

Power Max 824 OE 24 in. 252 cc Two stage Gas Snow Blower

The Toro Power Max 824 OE Snow Blower, equipped with a 252cc Toro Premium 4-cycle OHV engine, is designed to conquer heavy snowfalls. Its 24-inch clearing width and 20-inch intake height allow for efficient snow removal on large driveways. The machine features quick stick control for easy chute adjustments and one-hand operation levers for uninterrupted use. The anti-clogging system ensures maximum efficiency, while the robust design eliminates the need for shear pins, stalling the engine to prevent damage upon hitting hard material. Suitable for various surfaces, this snow blower comes with a 3-year limited warranty, providing dependable performance in tough winter conditions.

“This Toro is on par with both the Ariens Deluxe and the EGO SNT2405,” Moreno said. “This model is gas-operated like the Ariens, but it's two-stage versus solo-stage, and very slightly less expensive.”
