Since we only get about 3 big snows a year, it should only cost about $300-$450 to clear it all out at this price.
More of this "Global Warming" can make these items useless.
I have the Toro 18" which is quite good for powder. It is much more expensive though. No experience with this brand.
I would troll my neighbor and just blow the snow onto his driveway after he cleared it. Then deny it even if he saw me do it
^lol
This would not even make a dent in our snow here.
Look on the bright side, your garbage collector must really love you for throwing away snowblowers after 1 use.
Can't speak for this brand and model but a snowblower should last a decade or two, bringing cost per season down to about what you'd pay a local kid to shovel only once (depending on amount of snow and driveway size).
Electric though, so much cheaper and lower maintenance but dealing with a long, cold, stiff electrical cord in the snow and passing by it back and forth to shovel with spinning cutting blades, while melting snow may conduct electricity... think I'd opt for gas powered and file the expense under the toy budget rather than the shoveling budget. Then again you can buy a lot of extension cords for a roughly $200+ price difference.
