You can see the operation of an electric snow blower and hear comments, user reviews can be seen in the video:
Having decided to buy a snowblower, you need to understand that all gasoline models are more powerful, equipped with a rotating grip, which literally "bites" into the thickness of the snow. Electric models do not have a movable grip, and a shovel performs the function of collecting snow. The auger only throws out the collected snow from the cleaning site. Thus, an electric machine is perfect for working with a thin layer of snow, but it will be able to remove large snowdrifts with difficulty. Given these features, it is necessary to choose a car in accordance with the climatic characteristics of a particular region.
