| 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 light push machine — about 38 lbs with both packs aboard, so it handles more like a big string trimmer than a snow blower. The 180° chute adjusts by hand crank, a 2W LED lights the path, and the scraper bar shaves clean to the pavement. No cord, no self-propel, no drama. |
