Basics
Snow blowers, also known as snow throwers, are machines that remove snow from sidewalks, driveways, railroad tracks, and the like. It’s actually a misnomer to call the machine a snow blower, since the snow is being moved not by blowing, but by use of an auger or impeller.
Power
Snow blowers can be either electric or gas powered (using either petrol or diesel). The more powerful diesel engines are often used on snow blowers that are designed to throw snow into a truck or other vehicle to be hauled away. Electric blowers can be either corded or cordless (battery-powered), and each kind has its advantages and disadvantages. A corded snow blower will obviously limit the amount of snow you can remove by the length of the cord, but you don’t have to worry about charging a battery. A battery-powered blower has as much range as you have battery power, but you have to charge it before using it.
Size
Snow blowers can be had in a variety of sizes, from very small machines capable of removing a few inches of snow in a small area, to larger machines that are often used by municipalities to remove snow from roadways and other public areas.
Types
Snow blowers are usually divided into two types: single-stage and two-stage. A single-stage snow blower has an auger that pulls snow into the machine and throws it out of a chute at the back. The auger is in touch with the ground, which makes it great for paved surfaces like roads. A two-stage snow blower uses both an auger and an impeller to discharge the snow, making these machines better for handling deeper snow.
