I decided that with such snowfalls, a snow blower was definitely needed. Choosing a powerful electric model

In this snowy winter, I was once again convinced that a snow blower is definitely needed on such an area of ​​the site.

Photos from early February. Today there is even more snow. You need to prepare for the next season. Earlier there were thoughts of purchasing a battery snow blower. The article was here.

In the comments, a lot of criticism was expressed that the battery will not work for more than 20 minutes in the cold, that the plastic auger will quickly break and, in general, such a cordless tool is weak.

The best option is a petrol powered snow blower. But in this segment, normal models start at 30 thousand. rub. And I'm not a fan of gasoline. I have an electric trimmer.

One of the neighbors in the village advised me to pay attention to an electric snow blower. Yes, it is not so convenient for them to work, they need to carry a cable along. And with a large area, the cable length can be tens of meters. But I decided to look at the prices and power of electric models.

The first model I noticed was the Daewoo DAST 3000E electric snow blower

Electric motor power: 3000 W (almost 5 HP). Snow throwing range - 10-12 m.Capture width - 51 cm. Snow capture height - 33 cm. Weight - 17 kg. Body - ABS plastic. The main feature is the rubber-metal screws. This allows you to remove snow from the paving stones and not be afraid that it will be scratched by the auger. Snow will be cleared to the ground. Rubber pads change as they wear out. The electric motor is enclosed in a sealed plastic housing. The price of the model is from 19 thous. rub.:

A short video demonstration of work:

There are less powerful models in the lineup: Daewoo DAST 2600E (2600 W) and the Daewoo Power battery model Products DAST 5040Li. According to the reviews, I realized that the power of an electric snow blower should be at least 3000 watts.

All other models I was looking for - a maximum of 2000 W and with plastic augers. Cope with only 10 cm of snow. The engine will choke. And about the packed snow and speech is out of the question. Of this power, it is possible to single out only with a rubber auger: Hyundai S 500, PATRIOT PS 2300 E, Hammer Snowbull 2000e. Carver STE 2346 is slightly more powerful (2.3 kW), but has a plastic auger. The rubber-metal auger has a DDE snow blower, but its power is less than 2 kW.

An important detail for the operation of such a snow blower is the presence of a cable that is designed to work at low temperatures. Normal insulation will crack. Needed in rubber insulation. His brand: GK-HL 3x2.5.

For snow removal of paths and places where it is difficult to spin with a snow blower, an electric shovel is suitable. It is possible to distinguish from snow blowers with a low price within 7 thousand. rub.: DDE STE160 and Carver STE 1333

DDE STE160 power: 1.6 kW (2 HP). Snow grip: 34x12 cm. Snow discharge - up to 6 m. Weight: 6.6 kg. Carver STE 1333 power: 1.3 kW. Snow grip: 33x15 cm. Weight: 8.3 kg.

They can also remove tall snowdrifts. To do this, snow is passed in layers and in segments half a meter long. How they work - there are videos on youtube.
