Question???

Your Snapper is 15 years old. Was the $459 price the price you paid 15 years ago? Or is that the price for a comparable unit today? Just wondering.

Regardless, I agree that buying an electric snow blower that takes 8 hours to recharge is not a viable option, no matter where you live. I would not have purchased an electric unit if I was staring at an 8 hour recharge after 45 minutes of run time.

To be honest, if I lived where I only got 30" of snow per year, I'd (even at 69 years old) probably just use a shovel. Even living here, I frequently don't bother with the snow blower and just use a shovel for the 1 to 4" snow falls. I like the exercise and I like having my driveway down to the bare concrete. As a kid, besides our own sidewalk and driveway, I used to shovel several of my older neighbors sidewalks and driveways for additional spending money. All I had was a shovel. This was in northern MN and at times I was shoveling 2+ feet of snow.
