Specification and price

It is priced at $399.99 in Canadian dollars, with no conversion applied at the checkout. Order before the first forecast moves demand and the item is on a shelf rather than on a backorder.

Built for a Canadian season

Canadian conditions vary enormously, so here is a concrete reference point. Whitehorse, Yukon averages roughly 145 centimetres of snow in a season. Spread across a typical twenty to thirty snowfall events, that is a machine being asked to work most weeks from December through March rather than occasionally.

At 20 inches of clearing width, a standard two car driveway takes about 15 passes on this 20 inch single stage snow blower, and in a 145 centimetre season you would expect to make those passes twenty times or more. That repetition, not any single storm, is what separates equipment that lasts from equipment that does not. It is worth ten minutes with your local figures before ordering, and the petrol range walks through it.

Getting it to you

$399.99 CAD covers it, with no duty arriving at the door afterwards. Parcel delivery on small components, free freight once the order passes $999. shipping and delivery has the detail.

The return window and the freight rules are on returns and refunds. What is covered and what is treated as wear is set out on the warranty policy.

Questions go through the contact page and are answered by a person, not a script. Consumer rights when buying a 20 inch single stage snow blower in Canada, above any retailer policy, are set out by Consumer Protection Ontario.

Owning one in Canada

Check the outlet actually reaches the far end of the drive before buying. Keep it dry between seasons and most of the failures on this page never happen. snow blower storage sets out the April routine in full.

Wear parts are cheap in autumn and slow in January. We hold them on snow blower parts with the manufacturer stock number on every listing, and the maintenance checklist says when to check each one. October is the quiet month for this. February is not, and freight times show it.

Impeller injuries remain the most common serious accident with this equipment, and they happen to experienced operators who took one shortcut. Guidance for powered snow removal in Canada is published by Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.

• a household that does not want a fuel can in the garage
• storage space measured in inches rather than feet
• moderate snowfall on a paved surface

Who it suits

Time in the cold is passes multiplied by driveway length, and only one of those is something you choose. No fuel system means no spring service and no summer stabiliser.

Quoted capacities are measured in the easy conditions. March slush is not the easy condition. Surface decides the class before depth does, and gravel decides it absolutely.

If you are choosing between classes rather than sizes, single stage against two stage is the shorter read and what size snow blower you need works through the four measurements that settle it.

Reading the listing

Listed as amp, corded, thrower, which is the level of precision this catalogue works at. Two lines can differ by one word and be entirely different parts.

This line is 2600502. The 20 inch figure is the clearing width rather than the overall width of the 20 inch single stage snow blower. The 13 amp figure is the draw from a standard circuit. Anything less precise than that is where wrong parts come from.

Parts and long term support

Parts availability is the quietest reason to buy from one retailer over another. We list wear parts for this 20 inch single stage snow blower by manufacturer stock number rather than by generic description, which means paddles, scraper bars and replacement packs and chargers can be matched to your exact unit rather than to something that looks similar in a photograph. Budget roughly $28.00 a season for consumables on a machine in this bracket and you will rarely be caught out.

Check the parts catalogue for the part, and use the contact page to confirm fitment against your serial before ordering.

What a 20 inch cut means on your driveway

Everything about clearing width comes down to how many lengths you walk. At 20 inches, this is what three common Canadian driveways look like.

Treat the minutes as a floor rather than a promise. Saturated March snow slows every machine in this category, sometimes by half. If your own drive is not on that list, the sizing guide works through the four measurements that settle it.

What this 20 inch single stage snow blower will not do

Where this 20 inch single stage snow blower runs out. Every machine does, and pretending otherwise costs you a return.

• Managing the cord in the dark, in cold, adds real time to every clear.
• A lightweight indoor extension will overheat or stiffen. It needs a 12 gauge cold weather rated outdoor lead.
• It will not take a plow ridge, and it is at its limit in wet snow.
• It is unsuitable for a detached area with no power, however short the path.

If that describes your situation, this is not your machine. the contact page can narrow it down in one message.

Where the price sits

The only comparison that matters is the one you would really be making in the cart.

Stepping down to 40V 12″ Snow Shovel with Directional Vanes (Tool Only) saves $0.00, and stepping up to 48V (24V x 2) 12″ Brushless Snow Shovel (Tool Only) costs a further $0.00. Cost per inch is a blunt measure and it ignores drive systems, engine size and build, but it is honest about what the gap between two machines is buying you in raw clearing width. Read it alongside the sizing table above rather than on its own, because a wider machine you cannot store or turn is not a saving.

What it costs to own for five seasons

A machine at $399.99 is not a $399.99 decision. It is this.

Buy the consumables in autumn with the 20 inch single stage snow blower. They do not expire and the freight is already paid.

Going one size up, or one size down

Going up or down four inches from 20 changes two things and leaves everything else alone.

Measure the narrowest gate and the shed door before you measure the driveway. A machine that will not reach the back garden is the most common expensive mistake in this category, and it is entirely avoidable with a tape measure. A narrower machine used well beats a wider one you dread getting out.

What goes wrong, and the part that fixes it

Nothing here is exotic. These cover most of what we are called about in January.

Order any of them from the parts catalogue. the repair guide covers the same faults in more detail, with the checks to run first.

Your first season with a 20 inch single stage snow blower

Do these before the snow arrives. Every one of them is harder once it has.

1. Plan the cord route so you are always clearing away from the outlet, never dragging the lead through cleared snow.
2. Do a dry run in daylight so cord handling is muscle memory before the first dark morning.
3. Mark the driveway edges with stakes.
4. Use the strain relief on the handle every single time. Cord damage at the 20 inch single stage snow blower is the most common failure here.
5. Check the outlet is on a circuit that is not shared with a space heater.

Keep the maintenance schedule open through the winter, and read the buying guide if you want the reasons rather than the list.

Storing a 20 inch single stage snow blower for the summer

How to shut it down for the summer.

• Keep the 20 inch single stage snow blower off a bare concrete floor.
• Check the whole length of the cord for nicks before storing, and replace it rather than taping it.
• Inspect the paddle now so the replacement arrives long before you need it.
• Wipe salt off the housing and the plug before it sits for the summer.

Pair this with the maintenance schedule, and use the parts catalogue to order in summer rather than in a storm.
