From my research last year the Toro 518 and 721 are the good single stage units in gas and the Ego 56V is the upper echelon of electric.

In fact in Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people

If a Toro is too expansive, get one from MTD brands. Parts are cheap and easy to get.

Hard to go wrong with Honda, if you don't mind spending a fortune, it should last darn near forever. I regret not having bought a Honda right out of the gates.

I second the comment about a Honda. Bought a Honda HS720 this year. Honda manufacturers discount plus Ducks Unlimited discount. That thing is a little beast. Pricey, yes, but worth every penny. Easy to use recoil started. Electric start not needed. Ate up all the snow from the recent snow storm in toronto.

This. We bought a Craftsman about 5 years ago and the chute rusted and fell off about a week ago. The Briggs and Stratton motor is good though, it starts without a hitch, even after a year.

Our neighbour bought a small Honda and this thing runs like a dream. It’s way more refined.

With a single stage the paddles clear the snow out through the shoot. With a two stage the augers draw the snow in, and the impeller clears the snow through the shoot.

When i ask questions i also sometimes get the ask google answers

A single stage often cleans closer to the pavement (especially those with rubber paddles) and in my experience handles a foot or less of snow
The dual or multi stage can handle well over 12 inches, often has metal augers that can cut through the end of the drive way snow plow deposits and often does not clean close to the pavement. These often seem to have self propelled options but are in general best for people who have the strength to handle a heavy large beast. They also usually have wider reaches and usually cost a lot more.

was at Lowes a couple of weeks back and was speaking with an elderly salesperson as i had some time to kill and wasn't buying a blower. He mentioned club cadet was their best selling brand and Hasqvarna has an arrangement with Honda for the engines.
