Prepare your home for winter by purchasing a snow blower! But before making that investment on your home, have you considered what will happen after your purchase? Here are three things to keep in mind when purchasing a snowthrower as they will greatly impact your owning experience.
1. Setup and assembly
Contrary to popular belief, a snow thrower does not just come out of the box and is ready to use. In fact, there is a long list of items to go through before the machine is ready to start, including checking tire pressure, fluid, connecting the battery, and adding fuel. Make sure the manufacturer provides at least instructions on these items, or choose a Cub Cadet snow thrower with exclusive dealer service that ensures a device arrives unpacked, assembled and ready to use so you can get to work faster.
2. Warranty & Support
Like any outdoor device, a snow blower is a long-term investment. For this reason, it is important to consider the machine warranty and support before purchasing. Look for a brand that:
* Offer a long term warranty (minimum 2 years but 3 is best).
* Have local facilities or dealer networks available to repair and service the machine if necessary.
* Offer friendly, bilingual customer support online and over the phone if you have any questions.
3. Parts & Accessories
A snow thrower needs a regular maintenance schedule to function optimally. Make sure the manufacturer you're shopping from can offer genuine parts when you need them in stores and online – like spark plugs, shear pins, and more. In addition, you can equip your snowthrower with accessories to make your experience more comfortable – such as: B. a snow cabin or a light bar – and make sure that your manufacturer can provide these options if necessary.
That's it! Make sure you take these things into account before making a long-term investment. After all, your snow thrower is with you season after season. So choose a brand that will support you every Canadian winter.
