Is this an electric start snow blower?

No it isn't electric start. But it doesn't need it. We keep ours outside under a tarp during the winter. It takes just one easy pull to start every time. Just make sure there is no water in your gas

No. This model is a pull start. I believe there is an electric start model, but I'm not sure. This model faithfully starts, even at -6 F, on the first pull. I would question the need for an electric starter unless there is a clear physical need. The pull effort could be handled by the average 11 year old.

I bought mine for the Snow Joe 13.5 Amp snow thrower and have used it twice. I did have a GFCI outlet put in my garage to plug it into. It works just fine.

According to the 'Snow Joe' web site, one of their cordless mowers is 24 volt. The other, the iON16LM, mower does use the same battery as the snow blower.

Yes it has electric start with a charged battery included, and a manual pull start backup.

I used mine for Christmas lights. I would not use kit for an electrical device such as a snow blower.

The engine itself is NOT electric start. However, you could get an electric starter from a B&S; supplier (basically, it adds a circuit that energizes the generator to turn the crank.

It was not an important option for me, so I didn't specifically look for one with electric start. I would say no that it is not available since I did look extensively at a lot of Powermate generators and did not recall seeing this option. The honest answer would be " I don't know".

There is a little effort required to push but should not be a problem. I have only used it twice so far but the snow blower threw about 6-8 inches of snow with ease. I have always used the electric start so I don't know the effort required for a manual start in cold weather.

No. It is electric. You need a long outdoor cord. You squeeze a handle to turn it on, let go amd it turns off. Works well.

This 75 watt inverter is too small to power a 120v starter for a snow blower. Assuming the blower is 8HP, the required current draw from the 120v line would be in the order of 13-14 amps or 1700 watts. Assuming the inverter is 80% efficient, and you were to use your car battery to supply this inverter, the current draw from the battery would be on the order of 180 amps, almost the same current required to start you car.

No problems starting in cold weather with the electric start. I have never tripped a breaker either. Very satisfied with this brand and model.

I believe that this is a very manageable unit. The steps to start are numbered. Turn the key. Set the choke to the specified position. Two pumps on the primer bulb. Pull the cord, or push the electric start button. The blower is very effective at removing snow. The action of the revolving snow blades pulls the unit forward. Some effort might be required if your driveway has a steep slope. So far, the unit has performed as advertised.

Bought one a few months ago and, no, it's not electric start.Starts easily, but the old fashion way. Pull the cord.

Yes, however I had to return the starter because it did not align with the holes on the body of the thrower. The gears on the starter did not go in far enough to engage with the gears on the snow thrower.

I don,t know about using a snow blower.....Have not had any problems with it.....And we have had more ice & snow than in the previous years......

I assembled my snow blower inside the house, plugged it in and it fired right up. Maybe the outlet has a surge protection button that was tripped and needs to be reset. Other than that, I have no clue as my blower always works. You do have to press the start button first and then grab the levers when starting it.

There is no key involved. Plug it into you extension cord and press the start handle to activate the snow blower.
