1. Electric or Gas Snow Throwers
Snow throwers come in two variants, either the gas or electric throwers. Both variants come with their own pros and cons. One of the major benefits of an electric engine is that they need very less maintenance compared with the gas powered engines snow throwers.
However, the gas engines come with more power when compared to the electric engines and can clear more amount of snow in a single pass.

If you are just looking to clear the snow in front of your house, then an electric engine is ideal for you as they are much more compact than the gas powered ones too.
