Craftsman warranty for snow blowers
The short version
Craftsman covers snow blowers in full for 2 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 5 brands we compared, which typically cover 3 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Craftsman's published warranty, checked October 2026.
