Snow blower deals and sales

Where to find the best snow blower deals?

These are the best brands and resellers to shop for a snow blower deal. They often run great yearly sales during shopping events and offer competitive prices year-round.

While there aren't a ton of offers to hit all year round due to the changing necessity of snow blowers (they are only necessary during a certain period of the year, after all), it would be worth starting by figuring out how to choose a snow blower that would best fit your needs, or at least narrowing down the search, to set a budget and hone in on the specs you require: gas or electric, single-stage or two-stage.

End of year snow blower deals

Waiting till the latter stage and the end of the year is a good idea if you want to save on a more expensive purchase like a top of the range snow blower.

Lots of brands will want to get rid of that year's stock in order to make way for new stock, so while there may not be a huge variety of choices, end-of-year shopping still promises good deals, especially during any January sales and the after-Christmas sales.

It's also an excellent second opportunity if you missed any Black Friday deals. Shopping in the latter part of the year is great because there are so many shopping events and major sales crammed into a pretty small time frame—three months. It's also why we all tend to feel the pinch in January!

Presidents' Day snow blower deals

Most retailers, like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, usually make a big deal out of Presidents' Day sales, especially on larger appliances. However, there are still good deals to be had on yard equipment like snow blowers, too, so keep your eyes peeled for them.

Presidents' Day is an excellent time to buy, as in January, a lot of retailers have lowered their prices to clear out their remaining stock from the year before, so by the time Presidents' Day comes around, there should be some good deals on albeit (a little) last minute. Just keep your eyes peeled for them. In my opinion, Walmart and Best Buy have the most deals on offer, but Home Depot is suitable for offers on very expensive 'fancier' snow blowers - if that's what you need.

Are there good Labor Day snow blower deals?

Last year, we saw some Labor Day deals and sales on yard and outdoor equipment like pressure washers and chainsaws, so it's not out of the question that you'll be able to find some decent snow blower deals.

That being said, as Labor Day is in September, why not wait a couple of months until Black Friday, when you're guaranteed to find much bigger snow blower deals and discounts? But if you can't wait, then sure, Labor Day holds some promise, too.

Can I get Amazon Prime Day snow blower deals?

While this sale is only limited to Amazon Prime members and what the online retailer stocks, the Amazon Prime Day deals back in July 2023 saw several snow blowers discounted. This is not only out of season but also around pay day for many, so it's a good sales event to hold out for if you can.

However, what we saw in 2023 was something that we didn't predict. Resellers such as Best Buy and Walmart launched anti-prime day deals that rivaled Amazon, offering equal or even deeper discounts across various products. This meant that the yard equipment listed with select resellers was offered for super competitive prices, often with just a dollar or two in difference.

When is the best time of year to shop a snow blower deal?

Late spring through early autumn is the best time to bag a snow blower deal—essentially, as long as it's out of season when you would need one, it'll be cheaper due to lack of demand. Snow blowers are a seasonal product, so unless you're happy to pay full price when it's a case of needs must, it would also be worth getting prepared ahead of the first snowfall to save some top dollar.

You may find that key sales events such as Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday offer deeper discounts, but you'll have more choices from a wider variety of stock earlier in the year.

How to find the best snow blower deals this Black Friday and Cyber Monday

First, shop with a decent brand; you'll get a good deal if you're shopping with a reputable brand. It's also a really good idea to check the customer reviews, too, because this will indicate how good the product is. Good brands often have their customer reviews displayed under the product listing, which is a good sign of brand reliability, as it makes them more trustworthy.

Once you've found the snow blower you want and checked the reviews for it, you could use a browser extension like Honey.com, which will first tell you if your snow blower is listed cheaper elsewhere online.

Secondly, it can tell you if the discount price it's shown at is the lowest ever. This information is useful because if it looks like the price is a lot lower during Black Friday, for example, it could be worth putting a pin in buying it now and holding off until Black Friday to save much more.

Are snow blowers worth it?

Snow blowers are typically classified by the number of stages: one or two. The higher-stage models tend to cost more because they are generally more powerful, larger, and have more features. You'll often pay more for the brand name, too.

Many gas-powered snow blowers are also more expensive than battery-powered ones, so you'll have to work out which power source you need or prefer, as this will inform your spending.

Are Black Friday snow blower deals any good?

While you may not have as much choice in the variety of products on sale, as we just mentioned, you will probably find that the discounts are much better for Black Friday. This is simply because Black Friday is, without a doubt, the biggest shopping sales event in the US, so you're guaranteed to find excellent discounts and offers with the usual major retailers over this period.

Big-ticket items like snow blowers will almost definitely be discounted, and it's a great way to grab a cheaper one during the colder fall and winter months so you're ready for whatever the weather throws at you.

Are Black Friday snow blower deals better than after Christmas deals?

Black Friday deals on snow blowers are often better simply because they last longer. Some even go into Cyber Week, where they may have an additional discount to tempt you to shop.

By the time the after-Christmas sales arrive, we expect to see some models with even deeper price reductions as retailers make one last push to move this stock before the year ends.

In the in-between period between Black Friday and the after-Christmas sales, prices may jump up slightly, but if you hold off on the sales in January, you may find that they are back down to their Black Friday level again.
