snow blower advice for Toronto
I am looking at buying a new snowblower. For the past few seasons I have been using a battery powered snow joe. I find it a little underwhelming when the snow is a little wet or when there is a more significant snowfall. Anyone in Toronto knows that the winters here are not that bad (as compared to other Cdn cities) so some of the time the electric one I had has been good enough, but not great.
I live in midtown Toronto and am plowing a driveway that is 2 car widths wide and can fit 4 cars total. There is a slight slope to the driveway. I am trying to decide between a single stage gas and a two stage gas snowblower. I understand the functional differences between them so I don't need any explanation on that front.
What I want to know is from those that have a single stage gas, do they find it has enough power to reasonably get through a Toronto winter? Has anyone used a single and then a two stage and can speak to their experience? Given the size and cost difference between single and two stage, I want to make sure I really need the two stage type.
