I am now at the point of my life (age 60) where I think I need to purchase a snowblower.
I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada where snowfalls are a problem 3 or 4 times a season.
So far the shovelling of snow off my 35' x 16' driveway and 120' of walkways has only been an annoyance not an impossible task.
I have been looking at snowblowers cheap, expensive, large & small and believe a compact and powerful model (22" or 24") is what I need.
The question is which brand and what engines should I stay away from?
I would appreciate any information on the following makes and engines.
Yardworks, Craftsman, Honda, Airies & White brands and the following engines,
Honda, Briggs & Stratton, MTD and Powermore.
Thank you
Kenle Worth

Make sure whatever you choose is light enough for you to move around easily and will fit where you intend to store it in the summer. I don't know much about them but I do know my husband swears by Briggs & Stratton engines.
