Some useful advanced features to look out for in snow blowers

These are features you would expect to find on more advanced models, but can be very useful and helpful

• Variable speed control. This will assist in clearing snow efficiently.  Most snow blowers, other than very low-end versions will have some kind of multiple forward speed and probably at least one reverse. 
• Electric starts for reliability and ease in very cold weather
• Power steering for easy turns if the snow blower is heavy.
• Single-hand control, so you can electrically or manually adjust the chute rotation or pitch without stopping.
• Remote controlled snow exit chute rotation and pitch 
• An extended chute which can throw the snow further  
• Safety lock with a key to stop the snow blower starting by accident
• LED headlamps for work in poor visibility
• Ergonomic handles, adjustable to height
• Heated handles for total operator comfort.
