A snow blower is a technique that works under load, so it is necessary to impose increased requirements on its quality. A reliable model will last for many years and will not require expensive repairs. In this rating, we will consider only gasoline models, as they are more reliable than electric ones and especially battery ones. This is a complete tool that can deal with large snowdrifts, even if they are compressed or caked.
To find the most reliable units, we were guided by several aspects:
- Detailed reviews on popular marketplaces such as Yandex.Market, VseTools and 220 Volt. These stores keep a close eye on the reviews that come up and don't let the obviously purchased comments pass.
- Discussions on forums and tests from popular online publications. In particular, many tests are published by Auto ru and Drive2 magazines. A detailed thread also exists on the forumhouse.ru forum.
- Comparison of characteristics. We will not consider models that are weak in power or content. We are only interested in power, hardy units with high technical characteristics.
- Materials used. Even the most durable plastic cannot be compared with metal in terms of reliability. All snow blowers included in our rating have a metal auger and a steel body. This is the only way to achieve high reliability and strength of the entire structure.
Of course, models that meet all of the above criteria, by definition, cannot be budget. These are quite expensive snow blowers, but it should be understood that if you plan to load them to the fullest, then in the long term the high price will be partially offset by rare repairs.
We also note that for convenience, all models are divided into two categories: household and professional. Of course, you can also take a snow blower from the second category for your home, but there will be no point in it. The extra power doesn't make up for the higher price tag. So for professional use, you should not take a household option. It simply cannot cope with the loads, and low productivity will increase the time spent cleaning the designated area.
