Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

We are in need of a new unit as our 10 yr old unit died last week. We live in WI and the past 2 years have required lots of snowblower use.

Here are the options we are looking at and have no idea which one is a good choice..

Simplicity 1924E 999.00
Arens 27L 1199.00
Simplicity 1226L 1099.00
Yard Machines 2-Stage 26 In. Electric Start Snow Thrower 699.99(Home depot).

We know we want a 2 stage and hoped to stay below $1000. Are we really taking a risk with the Yard Machine??

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks so much,
