A little bigger than the electric-powered single-stage snow blowers, gas-powered single-stage snow blowers are also typically more powerful and work best for midsized levelled driveways and sidewalks that also do not have any loose particles. Snow thickness suited for this kind of snow blower is less than eight inches. Compared to the two-stage snow blowers, this piece of equipment is still lighter and easier to maneuver. They also take as much space as a mower. An advantage for this machine is that it does not have a power cord so you do not have to plug it in, but it does require refuelling. Its swath size is a little larger than single-stage electrics and can reach up to 22 inches wide. Gas-powered single-stage snow blowers still cannot work properly on steep slopes and the pulling power is still not as strong as the two-stage types. Regular maintenance is also required because of their gas engines so you might prefer the electric-powered blowers if you have a very busy schedule.

Electric-Powered Single Stage Snow Blowers
November 4th, 2010
The first type of snow blower is the Electric-Powered Single Stage Snow Blower. It’s a light duty machine that utilizes a single high-speed rubber-tipped impeller to both pick up and throw the snow out of the way. This piece of equipment works best for short and flat driveways, as well as decks and sidewalks when the snow level is just below four inches. Because of the size and weight of this machine, it’s the easiest to handle. It is also very quiet so if you’re concerned about making noise, choose electric-powered single stage snow blowers. This model is also very low maintenance as it does not require frequent refuelling and not much engine maintenance. However, single-stage electrics should not be used when loose particles such as gravel and pebbles are in the area since they can pick them up as well. Also, because its swath is quite narrow, i.e. only 11 to 18 inches wide, you might need to do multiple passes to completely clear the snow off your driveway. Its pulling power is also not the best and cannot handle steep slopes. Another con of single-stage electrics is that because it needs to be plugged in to a power source, its range and maneuverability is very limited.
