The Best Snow Blowers of 2025

If your local weather conditions bring frequent moderate snowstorms, the Snow Joe 21-inch Corded Snow Blower is perfect. It has a considerable 21-inch width, a powerful 15-amp motor, and a steel auger that can roll through even densely packed snow with ease.

It’s not as powerful or flexible as a traditional gas-powered model. Still, you need an outlet and an extension cord handy, and you can be up and running (and back inside where it’s warm) in no time: no messy gas, no refills, no tune-ups, and no pull starter to worry about.

Reviewers absolutely raved about the Snow Joe’s ability to handle even intense winter storms. The only thing to note is that it works best if you direct the snow chute away from the driveway or walk, not directly in front of you. As long as you’re actively moving snow off what you’re trying to clear, the Snow Joe can handle it.

When the next freeze warning hits, you’ll appreciate the power of this gas-powered snow blower’s 252cc overhead valve engine. Designed to clear large 15 - 20 car driveways, this has more than enough power for most properties.

The SnowMaster uses a self-propelling system that matches your pace as you push it, along with an easy-turn system, helping you clear more space without exhausting yourself.

Toro’s warranty guarantees the snow blower for three years, with individual parts like its chute guaranteed for life.

With an average owner score of 4.5 and 4.4 out of 5 across retailers like Home Depot and Acme Tools, respectively, this maneuverable and powerful snow blower is a safe pick for those who are ready to invest for the long term.

A powerful, 208cc self-propelled gas snow blower, the Ariens Classic 920025 really throws snow. With six forward speeds and two reverse speeds, it will do most of the pushing for you, clearing 24 inches at a time with 20 inches of clearance.

It offers both a pull start and an electric start. It also comes with useful safety features, such as a quick engine stop.

While heavy and large, this snow blower is still easy to assemble at home. Order it in advance of a winter storm warning and have it running in time to handle the snow.

The Ego Power+ is a massive 21-inch snow thrower that runs entirely on batteries, meaning you don’t need to worry about outlets, extension cords, or gas. It’s priced on par with gas models, even without the extra batteries and charger you’ll need to operate it. But if you have a long driveway and don’t want to deal with 100-plus feet of extension cords, it may be your best bet.

Reviewers loved its performance, as it cleared even wet, dense snow without any trouble. The main hangup, as you’d expect, is battery life. It can operate for about 45 minutes on a single charge, but you’ll definitely want extra batteries and a charger so you can top off one while you use the other.

If you mostly need to clear walkways and shorter driveways but still want real muscle, the Toro Power Clear 821 QZE is a compact, single-stage snow blower that punches well above its size. Its 252cc 4-cycle engine and 21-inch clearing width are designed to chew through light to medium snow—up to about 9 inches—while staying small enough to tuck into a corner of the garage.

Toro’s Power Propel self-propel system uses the auger to pull the blower forward, so you’re not muscling it along, and the electric start means you’re not yanking a pull cord on freezing mornings. Owners praise how quickly it throws snow—up to 35–40 feet—and its easy handling, plus its strong reliability scores over multiple seasons.
