For those of you who live in an area where winter snow doesn’t get too heavy (less than 8-10 inches) and your medium-sized driveway is flat and paved, a single stage gas snowblower will more than do the job. Switch to a single stage electric if you’ve got a shorter driveway and less snow (about 4-6 inches). But beyond that, how are you supposed to decide which single stage snowblower is best for you? Check out the side-by-side product reviews of Ariens’ single stage snowblowers to narrow down the choices.

So now that you have all the specs broken down, how does it all translate into the perfect snowblower for your home? If you’ve got a relatively small driveway and sidewalk, or if the closest electrical outlet is pretty close to the end of your driveway, go with a snowblower that’s small and an electric start. They’re lighter, get the job done, and blow the snow away easily when you don’t have too much space. Electric start snowblowers are also great if you’re either concerned about the environment or have visions of throwing out your back each time you bend down to yank the start cord.

But if you’ve a little bit more space, or if the closest outdoor electrical outlet is farther away, go for a recoil start snowblower. They’re a little heavier, but only by 10lbs or less- the weight of a sack of potatoes or two small Chihuahuas. Likely, you won’t be lifting your snowblower often, if at all, so the extra weight will hardly be noticeable.
