I have a Troybilt self propelled and a Toro that I use for my concrete driveway. The Toro is faster if you're handling light snow (3-4") The self propelled is better for moving heavy snow and going through a drift and it's a 2 stage meaning there's an auger that feeds snow into a chute where there's an impeller that ejects the snow through the chute. The toro only has an auger that rotates fast and throws the snow through the chute.

I've had the TORO for around 15 years. It's a 2 cycle, loud as hell, but starts and moves snow every winter. The Troybilt is an older machine with a Tecumseh engine and electric start. Only issue I've had is the carb gumming up because I forgot to drain the fuel and didn't use Stabil.
