Craftsman SB270

Because it features a rubber-edged auger, this model is ideal for paved surfaces like asphalt or concrete driveways. The rubber design helps clear snow down to the pavement while minimizing the risk of scratching or damaging your driveway surface.

The electric start allows you to power up the engine with the push of a button, eliminating the need to pull a recoil cord. You will need access to a standard outdoor extension cord to connect the unit to a power outlet for the initial start.

No, the SB270 is a push-drive model. However, the rubber auger makes contact with the ground, which provides a slight pulling sensation that helps move the machine forward as it clears snow.

The SB270 is designed for light to medium snow conditions up to 9 inches deep. While it is highly efficient for standard residential snowfall, it is not intended for heavy, compacted snow or deep drifts that exceed its 9-inch capacity.

Like any gas-powered equipment, you should perform seasonal maintenance, including changing the oil, checking the spark plug, and using fresh fuel with a stabilizer. Since it is a 4-cycle engine, you do not need to mix oil and gas.
