Checklist for Buying a Snowblower

Gongol.com > Checklists > Buying a Snowblower

"Lie on the floor. Imagine what it is like to feel lonely, hungry, thirsty, uncomfortable in this position yet to have no words -- no words to think with and no words to communicate with. Imagine what it is like just to be body and feelings, unable to sit up or roll over or feel that you belong. All you can do is lie there and be your feelings. Now imagine what it feels like to be rescued, to be picked up, made comfortable, held close, and to feel part of someone else, although you still have no words, no past, no future, just now and body and feelings." - Philippa Perry

Checklist for Buying a Snowblower
Brian Gongol

Features:

Can you adjust the height of the discharge, or is there only one angle at which it will shoot out the snow?
Is the discharge outfitted with a hand crank so that the angle of discharge can be adjusted from behind the machine, rather than making you move it by hand?
Is the machine a two-stage unit? (A single-stage unit won't discharge heavy, wet snow very far at all)
Is the machine a gas-driven unit? (An electric unit won't have much torque to discharge heavy, wet snow)
Is the machine manufactured by a mainstream company with replacement parts readily available?
