You can see the operation of an electric snow blower and hear comments and user reviews in the video:
When deciding to purchase a snow blower, you need to understand that all gasoline models are more powerful and are equipped with a rotating grip that literally “bites” into the thickness of the snow. Electric models do not have a movable grip, and the function of collecting snow is performed by a shovel.The auger only throws the collected snow away from the cleaning site. Thus, an electric machine is perfect for working with a thin layer of snow, but it will be difficult to remove large snowdrifts. Taking these features into account, it is necessary to select a car in accordance with the climatic characteristics of a particular region.
