The 6 Best Snowblowers With Power Steering

This wiki has been updated 21 times since it was first published in December of 2018. Living in a cold climate can be a real drag when you wake up to giant white drifts blocking the path between your garage and the nearest road. Those who have long driveways will appreciate these snow throwers equipped with power steering, which are easy enough to maneuver that you can operate them while daydreaming about the Hawaiian vacation you've been meaning to book. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Poulan Pro PR271

The friction disc transmission of the Poulan Pro PR271 (about $1300) offers six different speeds, so you can move at a pace that's comfortable for you. The two-stage clearing process breaks up those large icy chunks before tossing them aside.
