Which is better for deep snow?

The Garant. Its 30.5 in intake is far taller than the Suncast's 12 in, so it holds drifts and heavy snowfall without spilling over.

Which is better for a smooth driveway?

The Suncast. Its 27 in non-stick blade and 5.6 lb weight make it fast and easy on flat pavement, and it costs less.

Is the Garant worth the extra $32?

Yes if you get deep snow or clear large areas; the taller blade and steel wear strip do more work per pass. For light snow on pavement, the Suncast is enough.

Which is easier to push?

The Suncast, at 5.6 lb versus about 11.7 lb for the Garant. The Garant's extra weight comes with a much larger blade.

Do both have a steel wear strip?

Yes. The Garant uses a steel metal strip and the Suncast a galvanized steel wear strip, both to protect the blade edge.

The Garant has a longer track record with 706 ratings at 4.7 out of 5. The Suncast has no rating given, so its durability is less proven.
