The Snapper SS822E Snow Blower is one of the smallest snow blowers that you can buy from Snapper. It has a clearing width of 0.56 m (22 inches) and is a single stage snow thrower meaning that it only has an auger to deal with the snow in front of it. It is powered by a Briggs and Stratton Snow Series engine that provides the machine with 8 ft-lbs of torque. All this power is transferred to the auger which provides the propulsion to the SS822E. The auger drives the snowblower forward by gripping the ground as it rotates, much like a wheel. To stop if from damaging the surface that it’s traveling over, the auger is made from rubber, not steel.

While the Snapper SS822E single stage snow thrower has a clearing width of 0.56 m (22 inches), it has an intake height of just 0.32 m (12.6 inches). After the rubber auger breaks up the snow within the housing, it then flings it away from the clearing area by channeling it through the plastic chute. It can throw snow up to 9.14 m (30 feet). The chute that the snow travels through can rotate by up to 200 degrees and is controlled manually. The tires that the Snapper SS822E snow blower sits on have a width of 0.05 m (2 inches) and diameter of 0.2 m (8 inches). The weight of the Snapper SS822E 1 stage snowblower comes to 39 kg (86 lbs).

There is also a variation of this snow blower called the Snapper SS822EX snow blower. The only difference between the SS822EX and the SS822E is that that the EX has a an upgraded chute and deflector that can be adjusted on the fly. This makes the SS822EX weigh in at 40.1 kg (88.5 lbs). Most people who live in areas that don’t get many heavy winter snowfalls will find a machine like this to be more than competent at clearing their driveways and pathways.
