You can see the work of an electric snow blower and hear comments, user reviews on the video:
Having decided to purchase a snowplow, you need to understand that all gasoline models are more powerful, equipped with a rotating grip that literally “bites” into the thickness of the snow. Electric models do not have a movable grip, and a shovel performs the function of collecting snow. The auger only ejects the collected snow from the place of cleaning. Thus, an electric machine is perfect for working with a thin layer of snow, but it will be difficult to remove large snowdrifts. Given these features, it is necessary to choose a car in accordance with the climatic features of a particular region.
