Snow Blowers

The right snow blower turns a back-breaking morning into twenty quiet minutes with a thermos of coffee. Whether you're clearing a short city walkway or a hundred-foot suburban driveway, this collection brings together single-stage and two-stage snow blowers from PowerSmart in the power options that actually fit a residential driveway — gas, cordless 40V and 80V, and corded electric.

For light fluffy snow up to about 8 inches, a single-stage model in 18" to 21" clearing width does the job quickly without the weight or noise of a gas engine. Step up to a two-stage self-propelled machine — 24" or 26" with a 208cc to 252cc Briggs & Stratton or PowerSmart engine — when you're facing heavy wet snow, end-of-driveway plow piles, or a longer run that demands tracks and propulsion you don't have to push. Cordless 40V and 80V options bring instant electric-start convenience to homeowners who already own the matching battery platform — no fuel mixing, no pull cord, and quiet enough not to wake the neighbors at dawn.

Building out a full outdoor lineup? Stay on the same battery platform with our cordless lawn mowers and leaf blowers & trimmers — one charger, three seasons of work, plus quiet winter mornings. New to snow-removal power equipment? The Wikipedia overview of snow blowers explains the single-stage vs two-stage trade-off, and the OSHA snow-removal safety guidance is worth a five-minute read on slip risk, roof loading, and exhaust safety before the first storm.

Pick the stage, pick the power, then beat the storm. Explore the full snow blowers collection and be ready before the first flake falls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a single-stage and two-stage snow blower?
A single-stage snow blower uses one auger that both scoops the snow and throws it out the chute. It's lighter, less expensive, and ideal for up to ~8 inches of dry to moderately wet snow on flat paved surfaces. A two-stage machine adds a high-speed impeller behind the auger, throwing snow farther and powering through deeper, heavier, or plow-pile snow. Two-stage models are self-propelled, handle gravel driveways better, and are the right call for snow over 8 inches or for longer runs.
Should I get a gas, cordless, or electric snow blower?
Gas (212–252cc) gives you the longest runtime, biggest throw distance, and the muscle for heavy plow-pile snow — best for larger driveways and storm-belt locations. Cordless 40V and 80V models start instantly with a button, run quiet at dawn, and need no fuel or seasonal maintenance — great for normal suburban driveways under 60 feet, especially if you already own the matching battery platform. Corded electric (15A) is the lowest-cost option for short walkways and decks where an outlet is close by.
What clearing width do I need for my driveway?
Match the width to the work: 18" for steps, decks, and tight walkways; 21" for a typical two-car driveway under 50 feet (single-stage handles this nicely); 24" for longer driveways or homes that see regular 6–10 inch snowfalls; 26" for long driveways, heavy snow regions, or anyone who wants to finish in one pass with fewer overlaps. Wider isn't always better — bigger machines are heavier and harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
What does "electric start" mean on a gas snow blower?
Electric start lets you start a gas snow blower with a button press (powered by a small onboard battery or a 120V cord) instead of a recoil pull cord. It's a huge quality-of-life upgrade in cold weather — pull cords get stiff and small engines harder to crank when temps drop below 20°F. Every PowerSmart two-stage model in this collection includes electric start; some single-stage models add it as well.
Can I use my lawn mower battery in a cordless snow blower?
Yes — both 40V and 80V PowerSmart batteries cross over between snow blowers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, string trimmers, and other outdoor power tools on the same voltage system. One charger and a couple of spare packs cover the full year. Browse our lawn mowers and leaf blowers & trimmers to expand a kit you already own batteries for.
