| Drive & Handling | Push-only but just 35 lbs, so it glides on compact wheels while the steel auger does the biting. The 180° crank chute and dual 3W LED lamps are handle-accessible. The cord is the real workout: you need a 12-gauge outdoor extension and a mental route plan so you don't blow snow — or roll — over it. | A 32-lb push unit on 7-inch wheels — light enough to lift onto a deck one-handed. The 180° chute turns with a simple crank, and a cord-lock hook keeps the extension from unplugging mid-pass, though you still choreograph the cord every lap. Sibling model 2600202 adds dual LED lights for night work. |
