YardMan 31AS2B5-801 Single-Stage Snow Thrower with Electric Start


The specs on this machine sounded great for me -very lightweight but could handle up to 10" of snow, a decent motor size and clearing width for a single stage. However, it has been nothing but trouble. First, the belt broke after the first 5" of clearing heavy snow. That was replaced, but then there were problems starting it. The second winter (this one), we have had a lot of snow. It gets through 6" fine, but it can't throw snow even 10' from one side of the drive to the other, so I end up doing it twice, or three times - very weak in that regard! In addition, it took a lot of time to get it to work this season, and it doesn't leave a clean driveway, even if you do it twice, so I end up shoveling for the last round...and then it snows again. Altogether, it has been a major disappointment. Better than a shovel, but most of the time, my neighbor blows it with his two-stage.

Suncast SC1300 18-Inch Snow Shovel/Pusher Combo


I've had mine for a few winters now, and I've only had two minor issues with it:

1) the edge has worn down over time, since there is no metal guard like other models

2) depending on the type of snow, sometimes it sticks to the shovel, but I remedy that by spraying non-stick cooking spray on the shovel every now and then

Even though I have a few different types of shovels, I use this one the most. I have a long driveway with a wide end, and two long sidewalks to keep clear; this shovel makes it easy to get the job done without destroying my back like a metal shovel.

Afterwards, I recommend a cup of Swiss Miss Holiday Cocoa, 5 Assorted Flavors, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 2).

White Outdoor 5.5 HP 4-Cycle Single Stage Snow Thrower # 31AS2B5-790


Pretty powerful little snow thrower. Compact and light. Easy to operate. Not having to mix fuel and oil is good.

Ignition key was missing when the unit was delivered. The customer service sent a pair of keys.

Garant YSP30L 30" Steel Snow Pusher


if you get a light snowing(say 2.5 inches or less) this is the shovel to do the job. its very wide so you can cover alot of ground in a hurry. the only downfall is that due to its size it is hard to pick up alot of snow at a time. it is however very well made but it might be better to go with a 24" instead.
