Some are self-propelled and easy. Chop through everything.

For all others, go lightweight. So easy to store and move.

two stage are a good idea everywhere. the price difference from a single stage isnt worth the savings. like others have said a single stage is really a fancy gas powered shovel. get the widest inshoot you can afford, or that will fit on you walkway. fewer trips up and down driveway the wider the swath you can move.

make sure to get extra sheer pins too. nothing like being halfway down a 400ft driveway and the auger stops turning and there are no spares in the garage.

also make sure to summerize before putting away for summer and winterize after coming out of storage.
