Top 10 Algae Scrapers

6. Ariens ST30DLE Platinum 30 SHO

Capable of moving 82 tons per hour, the Ariens ST30DLE Platinum 30 SHO (around $1899) has a massive 414cc engine and an auto-turn capability that doesn’t require a trigger to initiate. The interlocking handles allow for one-handed operation, so the other can hold a thermos of coffee.

5. Cub Cadet 3X

You may want the features of a commercial unit, but don’t have a huge driveway. Thankfully, the Cub Cadet 3X (appx. $1461) is a petite version with a 21-inch clearing path. The three-stage system is a bit different from most heavy-duty choices, but can get the job done quickly.

4. Husqvarna ST330

For landowners who habitually deal with overnight precipitation, the Husqvarna ST330 (about $1695) has an 11-horsepower, 369cc engine and four blades to ensure quick removal. The adjustable handle offers multiple height stops for a comfortable operation.

3. Troy-Bilt Storm

Those who live far from civilization have different needs from families in the suburbs, which is why it’s helpful that the Troy-Bilt Storm (around $1616) is offered in four sizes. Should you only require a unit to sweep 24 inches at a time, you can save a little money.

2. Husqvarna ST224P

The Husqvarna ST224P (around $899) has simple levers that can control multiple aspects of the machine without forcing you to bend over too far. The heated handles are a nice touch, since it’s bound to be a bit chilly on some of those February mornings.

1. Poulan Pro PR271

The friction disc transmission of the Poulan Pro PR271 (appx. $1300) offers six different speeds, so you can move at a pace that’s comfortable for you. The two-stage clearing process breaks up those large icy chunks before tossing them aside.

4. Husqvarna 580BTS

From one of the oldest companies in the world, the Husqvarna 580BTS (around $579) lives up to its manufacturer’s reputation by outperforming nearly everything else on the market. It’s intended for commercial use, as indicated by its high cost.

3. Ego Power+ LB6000

Surprisingly effective for an electric model, the 5 amp hour battery pack in the Ego Power+ LB6000 (around $738) is compatible with a line of well-regarded cordless tools. Achieving air speeds of up to 145 mph, it’s a worthy competitor to a gas-powered model.

2. Husqvarna 150BT

At roughly half the price of the heavy-hitting models, the Husqvarna 150BT (around $297) is perfect for the homeowner or part-time landscaper who doesn’t want to spend a fortune, but has a yard full of debris to clean up. And it actually moves air faster than its more expensive cousins.

1. Makita 4-Stroke

Leaves don’t stand a chance with the Makita 4-Stroke (appx. $546) strapped to your back. Its powerful 75cc engine is highly efficient and meets EPA standards for exhaust emissions, and it offers plenty of ventilation to keep hot air away from your body.
