On the forecast, after a month of rather unseasonably warm December weather, there was finally a storm brewing over the weekend. I had the Dewalt 60V Max Single-Stage Snow Blower sitting in the box for a month, just waiting to show me what it could do. The first snowstorm we received at the beginning of the weekend was a good test run - a solid four inches of powdery snow that seemed like it would be right in the wheelhouse of a battery-powered single-stage snow blower. On Sunday morning, I woke up to a fresh eight inches of snow overnight. With this much snow available, it made me curious to find out if this Dewalt Snow Blower would be the best snow blower for the job. After the combination of the two storms, there was enough snow in the mouth of my driveway that it crossed my mind: is a snow plow worth it? I couldn’t wait to find out.
I tested the Dewalt 60V Max Single-Stage Snow Blower over a weekend, which resulted in over a foot of total snowfall. I tested the snow blower to remove about four inches of snow to clear my entire property, including my driveway, my sidewalks, and my patio in the backyard. I also tested how well it did, clearing about eight inches of snow on my walkways after another night of heavy snowfall. I also tested the battery life by timing how long the machine would last during normal use, how far the machine tossed snow, maneuverability, and lastly, how loud the machine was.
