No matter what type of snow blower you buy, it will require routine maintenance to help it start and make it last the 15 to 20 years you should expect. If you haven't gotten your machine out of the shed yet, now's a good time to make sure it starts and to fix it if it doesn't. If all else fails, consider the CR Best Buys from Consumer Reports' latests tests.
If your snow blower won't make it through another season, here are two CR Best Buys of each gas type we test. A CR Best Buy combines performance and value.
Two-stage gas
Compact two-stage gas
Single-stage gas
For full snow blower Ratings and recommendations see our Buying Guide. In addition to gas models, we also test electric and battery operated machines.
