Honda’s 4-stroke Advantage

All Honda snow blowers use our legendary 4-stroke engines. 

Honda engines have numerous advantages over the competition’s 2-stroke engines, including:

  • No mixing!

    With a 4-stroke engine, you never have to mix gas and oil.  Using regular gas is easier and more convenient.

  • No smoke, no smell!

    2-stroke engines smoke and smell because they are burning oil.  But with Honda, there’s no foul 2-stroke smell to ruin your day outside.  And you don’t have to worry about changing your clothes when you’re done blowing snow.

  • Easy starting

    You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to start a Honda 4-stroke engine, even in cold weather.  And unlike finicky 2-stroke engines, there’s no tricky procedures involved to get it started – no primer to pump, no bending over to fiddle with the engine controls.  Honda makes it truly easy to start and go.

  • Lower emissions

    Honda takes the environment seriously.  Our engines use advanced engine technology that meets or exceeds EPA emission requirements in all 50 states.

  • Better fuel economy

    Honda engines are known for being fuel efficient, and our snow blowers are no exception.  4-stroke engines use less fuel than 2-strokes by design.  And when you throw in the additional cost of special 2-stroke oil, it’s obvious that a Honda 4-stroke engine is considerably more economical to operate.
