advantage of no gasoline or oil to worry about, just plug in and
go.Most are powered by an 8 to 12 amp motor. The only thing
you have to worry about are extension cords and keeping
them out of the way of the snowblower.
Most electric snowblowers can clear at least four inches of
snow off a 50 by 20 driveway in ten minutes at a 18 inch swath.
Some can go as deep as 10 inches, of course it would take
longer to clear at that rate.
The good thing about electric snow blowers is that you just
squeeze the trigger and go, some come with a key to prevent
anyone from usuing it without the key, which is good if you
have kids around or any one you constantly wants to borrow.
At the time of this writing you can pick up an electric snow
blower for around 275-300 dollars, not including the extension
cord.
Thats another thing you will have to have is an good extension
cord, a heavy duty cord at that and no more than a hundred
foot, because of the amperage drop you will encounter with the
length of the cord.
Electric snowblowers should last a very long time as far as the
motors are concerned. The only maintenance probably will be
paddles and scraper bars.
Small electric machines can actually be picked up to chew
away deep snow banks a layer at a time.
