If you even need one. That will depend completely on how much sidewalk and driveway you have, and the how much sun they get. Unless you aren’t able to shovel, because no shame in that, sometimes bodies don’t work the way we’d like.
The snow down here doesn’t stick for very long, so except for storm of the decade situations, worst case is I just wait a couple of days and it goes away on its own. Usually 10-20 minutes with a shovel and everything I need to clear is done.
I have a good friend in Longmont with the Ego snow blower, because he has a corner lot and lots of sidewalk. His philosophy was he bought the batteries, and the snow blower came free with them. As far as I know it works well.
The riding mower I want, but can’t justify so far, has headlights, power steering, power blade height adjustment and a height readout on the automobile style dash, cruise control, cup holder, cell phone holder and charger, ventilated seats, posi-traction, and chromed coil spring suspension to smooth the ride. Plus automatic grass flattening to make your yard look like a baseball field. Options include a turbo booster fan on the deck to really blow those leaves into the grass catcher and all wheel drive Now that’s a mower.
I does not have a feature that the Honda mowers sold in England have - a power dump for the grass catcher.
At the mountain house I have a 4x4 Kubota w/loader. The loader comes in handy when the plow truck can’t push/pile up the snow any further. So I clean out the snow storage areas.
It’s been interesting so far. We actually get deliveries. We did specifically choose a place between Loveland and Berthoud. Definitely suburban, but no in the city.
Yeah, I lived in SE Denver for 15 years. I know it goes fast. But, we have drive for two two car garages (so 4 car total )
And a concrete back patio that is 30’ by 30’ of concrete (bigger than most apartments living space). I’m gonna need that blower.
