Snow blowers have come on in leaps and bounds recently and there is now a little machine for every purpose from domestic paths and drives up to powerful machines for private roads and drives right up to really heavy duty machines to clear large public areas and industrial estates.
And here are ten top money saving offers on a range of machines which could keep you on the move while others slip and slide.
This first one, the Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Blower, is perfect for use around the house and drive.
Small enough to hang up by the back door, this makes shovelling a thing of the past and makes life so much easier when the white stuff comes to call
Simplicity itself to use – just plug it in and away you go – it has a clearing width of 31 cm and as it has no wheels it can clear right down to the ground as it slides along.
And with a clearing height of 23 cm it can deal easily with those annoying falls which make paths dangerous.
It is on special offer at just £69, £30 less than the maker’s recommended price and delivery the next working day is free.
Plus there is a one year warranty from Stiga.
This next one is also intended for domestic use, the Stiga Snow Electric Single-Stage Snow Blower, and what’s more it’s currently for sale at a special price.
This is a proper snow blower and is simplicity itself to use. It has a rubber-bladed auger and works best on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt paths and drives.
The auger moves the machine and along and the snow gathered in the front hood is blown clear through a chute, controlled by a lever, which turns 180 degrees.
There is a 1800 Watt electric motor and has a clearing width of 45 cm. The intake height is 25 cm.
Our sale price is just £139, £60 off the maker’s recommended retail price. We deliver it free the next working day and there is a one year warranty.
Now one which is an absolute bargain from a top Italian manufacturer.
The Oleo-Mac Artik 56 Dual-Stage Snow Blower (Manual Start), is a two stage machine which can tackle larger areas.
This is a two stage blower with metal toothed augurs at the front dragging in the snow and ice and a separate impellor blasting it up to 12 metres clear.
The 182 cc engine is from Loncin and specially designed for freezing conditions and it has five forward and two reverse gears.
The chute can be rotated through 190 degrees and adjustable front sliders can be adjusted according to the surface being cleared.
It now costs just £399, £300 less than the maker’s recommended retail price and delivery is free the next working day. There is a two year warranty from the manufacturers.
The Stiga Snow Patrol Dual-Stage Snow Blower is a larger and heavier duty machine and one suited to longer drives and paths.
This machine has a 55 cm working width and a snow intake hood of 50 cm enabling it to deal with heavier falls.
Powering it along is a 182 cc engine with four forward and two reverse gears to enable it to negotiate difficult corners and angles.
The sharp augurs force the snow and ice into the hood where an impellor blasts it away up to ten metres through a chute which can turn 190 degrees.
Front skid shoes are adjustable according to the underlying surface and deeply patterned tyres give an excellent grip.
This one costs £499 in our snow blower sale, £280 off the maker’s recommended retail price and has a one year warranty. We deliver free the next working day.
Another on special offer at the moment is the Stiga Snow Cube Dual-Stage Petrol Self-Propelled Snow Blower, a slightly larger machine but still a two-stage machine with a front augur and impellor.

Five forward and two reverse gears, a 56 cm working width and 50 cm intake height means it can clear larger areas quickly and efficiently. The exit chute rotates through 190 degrees and is controlled from the driving position.
The working height can be adjusted for less tiring use.
During our snow blower sale it will cost you just £599, £180 off the maker’s retail price and we deliver it free within two to three working days. There is a one year maker’s warranty.
Now, as they say, for something completely different.
The MD SnowCAT 2-Stage Snow Blower with Caterpillar Tracks gives excellent grip on slippery surfaces and is made to clear longer private roads and car parks.

The recommended retail price is £1999 but we have it in our sale for £899. We deliver free the next working day and there is a one year manufacturer’s warranty.
We’re getting into some heavy duty equipment now and here’s one for more serious clearing tasks.
