Northern Jersey shore was close to ground zero for the heaviest dumps of snow in the Christmas Blizzard of 2010 last week. My neighbor took pity on me and came with his blower to rescue me from my 50' driveway shoveling exercise. Man, I instantly saw the wisdom of a blower plus......now I sort of need to get one so that my wonderful good samaratan neighbor doesn't feel any kind of obligation to do me next time.
So...I am looking. I am, however, bewildered by the opportunities on Craig's list....phew!
Am hoping I could post a few units here that caught my attention and ask for your opinions. Would be super grateful for some veteran observations:
1. 70's; no make; 26"; 8 hsp; 2 spd fwd; 1 rev...............300.00. The 8 hsp sounds pretty good, no?
2. 5.5 hsp Snow King 3aa - 3ca; 2 yrs old; looks clean in the picture; 375.00
3. 1962 Craftsman, 24"; 6 hsp; looks clean in the picture; 200.00
4. 2007 or 2008 Airens; 5 hsp; 300.00
Do you guys agree that 5 hsp is adequate? Most blower use this size motor.
Many thanks for your guidance.
