Ariens

4.7

(22)

"I live in northern Maine and use an Ariens Mountaineering Edition."

"The Toro before Ariens Deluxe."

"It was really good, fast and could throw heavy wet snow."

"The thing is a beast."

"Does really well in wet and deep snow."

"The best bang for the buck."

"Even chews up the trail the plows leave."

"Get yourself a good 30inch Ariens for sure get one with SHO."

"I'd vote Ariens, then Toro."

"Ariens reigns supreme."

EGO

(19)

"Ego all the way."

"A 2 stage will make you happier. For battery operated, EGO has a couple of good choices."

"Any of the ego 2-stage blowers should be fine."

"Ego! Ego ego ego!"

"I have used EGO brand for edgers, trimmers and blowers for about 5 years. They are great."

"Look into the EGO battery powered lead lowers - they have a 735 CFM & 800 CFM backpack blower."

"Worked great over the last couple of days."

"I have a single stage steel auger EGO with 2 5AH batteries."

"I used a EGO single stage blower the whole year."

"Egos 2 stage is a cut above but the single stage does not appear to be as industry leading."

Stihl

4.8

(11)

"Br600"

"Stihl BR600 or BR800."

"I love leaf blowers, and I'd recommend the stihl BR series, biggest you can get."

"Which is ridiculously good at moving leaves, sticks, gravel."

"I love my Br800. I use only non oxy gas and never had an issue."

"Stihl is the only serious choice."

"Look at Stihl, in business over 75 years, and have a large independent parts and dealer network."

"I have all the Stihl rechargeable gear. Mower blower trimmer. I love em."

"I upgraded to a Stihl BR-600 backpack leaf blower, which is able to handle the job."

"My 30 year old BR540 is still going strong."

Ryobi

4.3

(11)

"I wonder how I lived without it."

"No complaints, it has become so useful at getting water out of the cracks, grilles, door handles, rear view mirrors, wheels/tires etc that I use it with every wash."

"The compact brushless 18v is an absolute beast."

"The 40v 730cfm is their most powerful blower."

"I have a Ryobi that is so much better."

"The Ryobi 18v is light and cheap."

"The 40V Ryobi blowers are workhorses."

"The Ryobi pistol grip blower is the first one that comes to mind."

"Get the Ryobi. It just came out and it’s smaller and comes with a soft speed nozzle as well."

"I would get the Ryobi first. 1) it’s the most economical, 2) it’s very lightweight for the power."

Honda

4.6

(10)

"Gas with a Honda or Yamaha engine. Will last you a long time."

"I can attest their quality, operations and resale value."

"Get the Honda if you can afford it."

"Powerful and Reliable... that describes a Honda perfectly."

"Honda 928 is your best bet."

"They're both really good for slush."

"A tracked Honda snowblower might be the best for you"

"Honda HSS1332CT."

"If I was in it for serious snow I would look for a Honda with tracks."

"Because anything with auto turn is just crap."

DeWalt

4.1

(9)

"Get a 20b dewalt. My 6 yr old grandson loves using it."

"I don't think you can beat this one."

"Dewalt has a compact blower that seems a little smaller than their full size ones."

"I've been happy with it."

"Went with DeWalt for blower."

"I use the dewalt 60v."

"It gets the job done."

"The current 20v model is the DCBL722."

"It does a pretty good job on dry leaves."

Toro

4.3

(8)

"Current one is 15 years old, looks and runs like new."

"Goes through everything I put it through."

"It did quite nicely on this show fall."

"For battery electric I would look at Toro or Ego."

"Of the brands you mentioned, the only one that I would consider is Toro."

"Toro is quite pleasant."

"I used to have a corded toro power jet F700 which is one of the most powerful electronic blowers available."
