Have you ever started clearing snow with a shovel and realized the job was going to take much longer than expected? A shovel works well for lighter snowfall and smaller areas. But several inches across a larger area can mean a lot of lifting, throwing and repeated passes. Wet or packed snow can make the…
The Greenworks 80V Snow Blower (2600402) comes from an earlier generation of cordless blowers, but it still has a few reasons to consider it. The kit includes a battery, so you do not need to own another Greenworks tool to use it. If you already own one of the 75+ compatible Greenworks tools, you can…
The Snow Joe IONMAX is an entry level, single-stage thrower. The 24V-X2-SB18 is one of the more compact models in Snow Joe’s lineup. It features an exclusive IONMAX li-ion battery system to power its 1,200W brushless motor and an 18-inch clearing system. Snow Joe released its first electric snow blower in 2006. The IONMAX comes…
The SENIX STX2-M1 Snow Blower gives you a 21-inch clearing width and runs on two 5.0Ah batteries. That wider intake covers more ground with each pass. But it has a maximum runtime of just 20 minutes. Its battery life has also been a common criticism among some owners. That raises a practical question about the…
A small snow blower can struggle in deeper or heavier snow, but stepping up to a two-stage machine can often be more machine than you need. The EGO POWER+ SNT2112 is built to fit that gap. It combines battery-powered operation, a steel auger and Peak Power tech in a compact 21-inch unit. That simplicity is…
Westinghouse has been a familiar name for generations, but its current outdoor power equipment lineup includes a growing range of snow blowers. The WSnow22 is a corded electric model with a 22-inch clearing width. That gives it more coverage than the smallest electric machines without moving into the bulk of a heavy-duty two-stage blower. That…
Dual-fuel capability can add weight to a portable generator. Champion aims to put that right with the Champion 2500W (model 201323). This is one of the lightest dual-fuel generators in the 2500W class, making it practical for trips where you need to load a generator into a vehicle and carry it to the campsite. That…
Getting a 3,600-watt inverter generator does not necessarily mean spending big bucks on a premium model. The WEN 56360i brings higher-output inverter power into a price range more commonly associated with smaller generators. That makes it an interesting choice for anyone who wants more power without paying for features they may not need. There is…
The Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO combines 5,000 watts of inverter power with an RV-ready design and dual-fuel operation. RV owners can run higher-demand loads and choose between gasoline and propane. The generator can also provide backup power for 120V household appliances and equipment during an outage. Its mid-tier capacity makes it larger than many compact RV generators….
Generator noise becomes much harder to ignore when a machine has to run for hours during a power outage. Honda markets the EU3200i as a “super quiet” inverter generator, and low noise is one of its main selling points. Its 3,200-watt peak output and 2,600-watt running capacity provide enough power for many essential appliances. The…
