Cant possibly say enough about how much I LOVE my Honda snowthrower.

Its is one of the best gasoline yard devices I have ever owned!

That said I could probably buy 2 of any other brand for what the Honda sells for. But for that you get a battery start (no cord to plug in) flawless operation, and true high performance snow snow throwing!

Best of luck with the electric, I suspect it will end up a battery eater and the whole rig in the dump in 5 years, whereas any quality gas snow thrower will make 10 years without any effort and really good ones will go 20 years.

But maybe you dont need long service, just some other characteristic that you would only get from a battery??? I think a totally novice operator could be one such item,,, I'm sure there are others.

But if you are at all comfortable running a gasoline snowthrower and want a long term investment in a truly high quality product, you should look at the Honda.
