Troy-Bilt Storm 2625 Review

Waking up to a foot of snow is a normal winter sight for many. But Jack Frost doesn't always get a warm welcome. The best two stage snow blowers like the TROY-BILT SNOWBLOWER get you out of the snow faster. This snow blower has a clearing width over two feet wide, enough to clear a driveway in a couple passes.




This Troy-Bilt model can handle deep snowdrifts and slippery surfaces. The intake is 21 inches high, enough to shovel almost two feet of snow into the auger and impeller. The 15-inch tires give you a boost over the snow and keep the snow blower grounded when covering slippery turns.




The 4-cycle engine in this snow blower is huge with an engine displacement of 243 cubic centimeters. All the gas power coursing through the engine has to start somewhere. While this Troy-Bilt snow blower has a gas powered engine, it uses an electric push start to get going. This reduces the number of starting attempts, so you can get going faster. For all its power, this snow blower is highly fuel-efficient. The gas tank only needs up to half a gallon of gas to get moving.




This two-stage snow blower has a self-propelled drive, which keeps you from working too hard. You can control the pitch of the chute with the one-handed lever, so you won't have to stop the snow blower to adjust the chute. The plastic chute rotates 200 degrees around, so you can control where the launched snow piles. Additionally, there are six forward speeds and two reverse speeds on this snow blower to help you make it through different types of terrain or inclines.




Some of the extra features on this snow blower are useful for low light or rocky conditions. The headlight boosts your visibility so others can see you and you can see where you're moving the snow blower. This is a useful feature because the best time to clear a sidewalk or driveway is in the morning during the low light hours.




The Troy Bilt also has adjustable skid shoes. These pieces attach to the bottom of the snow blower's intake. You can raise them or lower them to avoid scraping gravel, rocks or debris on uneven terrain.

The Troy Bilt 2625 is a tough snow blower that channels a lot of power. The 4-cycle 243 cubic centimeter engine is big enough to power the self-propelled system, so you don't have to work as hard. The clearing width is wide enough to clear a two-car driveway easily and the headlight adds to your visibility.
