Simplicity Signature Pro Dual-Stage Snow Thrower P1332E

Date Published: 10/24/08

Designed with the biggest of jobs in mind, Simplicity's commercial-duty P1332E offers professional-quality performance priced for residential use.

Consider this snow blower for clearing exceptionally long or wide driveways, private roads and extensive sidewalks. The P1332E is big enough for the snowiest of climates, has a beefy 13-hp Briggs & Stratton Intek Snow OHV engine and an exceptionally large clearing path of 32 inches.

Weighing in at 265 pounds, the P1332E is a bulky machine to control. Fortunately, it offers Easy-Turn, a feature that helps navigate even tight turns with little effort. This feature is operated by a fingertip trigger control that releases the drive power to the left wheel. Once the wheel is released, this snow blower will turn on a dime -- 180 degrees to the right. The catch here is that you need to plan your snow clearing from left to right since only the left wheel releases.

Yet another unique feature of the P1332E is the electric chute rotation. We can't help but like the fact that this chute rotates with just a simple touch; there is no stopping to adjust this chute and no more awkward crank with which to fuss in the cold.

Jobs big enough to warrant purchasing this behemoth are likely to include some serious snowdrifts. For this reason, all of Simplicity's commercial-duty machines are equipped with drift cutters.

Hand-warmer grips are another welcome feature for the user who'll be spending lots of time behind this machine. Optimal accessories for user protection include a snow cab, as well as front counterweights and a machine cover.

If you'll be spending lots of time in the snow clearing the biggest of jobs, but need to keep your expenditure in the non-commercial range, Simplicity's Signature Pro P1332E should be on your short list of models to consider.


Pros: Senses depth and adjusts auger and impeller accordingly, one-hand operation
Cons: Easy turn is excellent but works only in one direction, small impeller and auger
