Best Snow Blowers in 2027

The EGO Power+ SNT2807 leads our ranking, and the specs show why. It clears a 28 in path, the widest on the page, with a 21 in intake. Wide and tall intake means fewer passes and less trouble with deep snow. It is a two-stage design, so an auger feeds an impeller that throws the snow.

Throw distance is 60 ft, the longest listed here. That lets you place snow well clear of the path, which matters on a long driveway with banks. Power comes from a 1344 Wh battery system, the largest battery energy listed. The listing says two 12.0Ah ARC batteries are included and that it can clear up to a 32-car driveway with 8 in of snow.

It weighs 250 lb, the heaviest on the page. That is a lot to move in a garage, though self-propelled drive does the pushing. It also has a 200 degree chute rotation and heated handles, and a 5 year warranty, the longest listed.

The PowerSmart 26 in ranks second. It is a gas, two-stage machine with a 26 in clearing width and a 20 in intake height. An all-steel auger cuts icy snow and a steel impeller throws it. The listing says the 252cc engine moves 2650 lbs/min and holds 1 in. to 12 in. of snow. That suits a driveway where snowfall is regular and sometimes heavy.

Throw distance is 45 ft, which sends snow well off the path. Drive is self-propelled with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, so you can slow down on slopes and speed up on flat runs. Chute rotation is 180 degrees with one-hand control, and LED lights help with early or late clearing.

At 142 lb it weighs less than the EGO at 250 lb, though far more than the corded Westinghouse at 29.3 lb. Electric start is push-button. The maker doesn't publish a warranty length, so check that before you buy.

The PowerSmart 24 in model ranks third. It is a gas, two-stage machine with a 24 in clearing width and a 20 in intake height. The listing gives its 212cc engine a 2400lbs/min capacity and says it handles up to 12 in of snow. It is narrower than the 26 in model above it.

Throw distance is 45 ft, the same as the other two PowerSmart gas models. Drive is self-propelled with 4 forward and 2 reverse speeds, fewer forward gears than the 6 on the 26 in model. Fewer speeds still give some control on slopes and flat runs. The listing says the 120-Volt electric start works smoothly even at -20F.

The maker doesn't publish chute rotation, LED lights or a warranty length for this model. Weight is 146 lb, lighter than the Husqvarna ST124 at 173 lb. Check the chute and lighting details before you buy if you clear in the dark.

Ranked fourth, the PowerSmart AM7109 is a 24 in gas two-stage blower. Its 212cc 4-cycle OHV engine is listed at 2400 lbs/min of plowing capacity. Intake height is 20 in, and the listing says it powers through up to 12 in. of snow. Steel augers and a high-speed impeller are meant to resist clogging in heavy, wet snow.

It throws snow up to 45 ft and has 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds. The electric start needs an outdoor extension cord plugged into the machine, so you need a power outlet near where you store it. LED lights are listed, which helps if you clear before sunrise or after dark.

Weight is 143 lb. The maker doesn't publish chute rotation or a warranty length for this model. It is one of three PowerSmart gas blowers on the page, so compare its 24 in width and 6 speeds with the others before you pick.

The Westinghouse WSnow20 ranks fifth, and it is a different kind of machine. It is a corded electric unit with an 1800 W motor, the highest motor power listed. Corded power means no battery to charge. The listing says it clears a 20 in wide, 10 in deep path and moves 680 pounds of snow per minute. That suits light snow, not deep drifts.

Weight is 29.3 lb. That is easy to carry and store, and it is the lightest of the five products reviewed here. Throw distance is 25 ft, well short of the 45 ft on the PowerSmart gas models and the 60 ft on the EGO. It has a 180 degree chute and dual LED headlights.

It plugs into a 120V 15A outlet, so reach is limited by the cord length. There is no wheel drive listed, and 7-in wheels are small for uneven ground. The warranty is 2 years limited, with lifetime technical support. Choose it for decks, porches and short driveways.
