[Heimkehr II]

I take the view that, when analyzing the ability of each to meet their mission brief, snowblowers are more sensitive to horsepower and torque (or their e-equivalents) than are lawnmowers and other OPE that are available in both petrol and electric versions.

It's not accidental that the experienced members of this community recurringly mention wet, heavy snowfall as the Achille's Heel of battery-powered snow throwers and/or blowers.

Sans living in an area where light snowfall is a decades-long trend, I'd want to know that I won't be disappointed in whatever snowblower I selected to deal with whatever Mother Nature brings me. That trumps all other considerations. I never want to run out of machine before I've run out of snow.

The Honda that I own was d*mn expensive and sometimes more than what I need for a particular job, but for those snowfall events where only it will do, I'm reminded every time why it was money well-spent.
