So... We're going to be getting a fair bit of snow - I did look at getting one a few weeks ago but was like, 'Nah, shoveling the snow is good exercise.'
That said - I'm getting a little tired of shoveling... Debating picking up a blower.
I can get a one-stage electric pretty cheap and my driveway is more wide than long and I have a 25, 50, and 100ft extension cord but I'm wondering if I should just go ahead for a 2-stage gas. Ultimately I don't have a lot to clear and it's all paved but it would be nice to not have to do it all manually.
The biggest issue is that I don't see any brands I recognize. This one seems to have decent reviews on Amazon:
Amazon.com: Power Smart DB7659A 22-inch 208cc LCT Gas Powered Compact 2-Stage Snow Thrower with Electric Start: Patio, Lawn & Garden
Ideally I'd like to stay under $800 and ~500 would be best but I have no issues paying a little more for a quality machine that will last.
Anywho... I'm open to thoughts and suggestions as I'm on the fence.
