Have a walkway or smaller driveway you’d like some help clearing of snow. These five cheap electric snowblowers have you covered.
As winter trudges along, you’re probably like me and getting tired of shoveling snow all the time. For big jobs, like long driveways and such, a bigger snowblower is the way to go. But for those smaller tasks, such as a shorter driveway or walkway, cheap electric snowblowers make a ton of sense. Not only will it quickly and quietly get the snow out of your way, but also do that task with very little maintenance. The best part of today’s electric snowblowers is you don’t have to spend a small fortune to get one that will work extremely well for what you need it to do.
Why Electric?
An electric snowblower has some distinct advantages, especially for use in small areas. They are compact, and almost all are single-stage machines. The simplicity of an electric engine cuts down on weight significantly, making them easier to handle, a plus for elderly users. Plus with no gas to worry about, maintenance is easier as is storage. Here are five cheap electric snowblowers you can pick up without breaking the bank.

Power Smart DB5023
The Power Smart DB5023 snowblower is a 13-amp, 18-inch wide unit that is small, compact and as the name implies, smart and simple.

You know the name Toro for a reason. Toro is the number one selling brand of power equipment in the world. When you buy a Toro, you know you’re getting quality.
