Single-Stage Snow Blowers (34 items found)

An important part of preparing for winter is ensuring that you have the proper snow removal solutions at your disposal to keep your walkways and driveway clear. Ace stocks a range of single-stage snow blower models to deal with winter weather. With many benefits for residential use, find the right model that suits your needs.  

What Is a Single-Stage Snow Blower?

While shovels or snow pushers have their place in your winter weather line up, snow blowers require less effort to clear more snow. Single-stage snow blowers work using a horizontal auger to pull up snow from the ground and through a chute in one stage. While two-stage snow blowers are better suited to tasks on larger properties, areas with high snowfall accumulation and even gravel surfaces, one-stage models are ideal for simple residential use on paved surfaces.

Single-Stage Snow Blower Benefits

When you're looking to buy a snow blower, single-stage models offer some distinct benefits to two stage models, including:

• Compact size: Single-stage snow throwers are more compact and easier to store in small garages and sheds, in part because they do not have the impeller fans of two-stage blowers.
• Lightweight maneuverability: The compact size and lightweight build of one-stage snow blowers make them simpler to maneuver through narrow and tight areas and easier to push around.
• Easy controls: Most single-stage models have straightforward controls, making them good options for those just starting out on their home maintenance journeys.
• Affordability: A one-stage snow blower tends to be more economical than its two-stage counterpart. A great pick for those shopping on a budget.

Electric vs Gas Powered One Stage Snow Blowers

Ace carries many single-stage snow blowers from brands like Ariens, Toro and EGO. To choose the best model for your needs, first consider the type of power source that is best for you. There are three main options:

• Electric:Corded electric snow blowers offer plenty of power for smaller residential areas and consistent, reliable performance.
• Battery: Thanks to their rechargeable batteries, battery snow blowers don't need to be plugged into an electrical outlet, giving you more range to work with.
• Gas-powered:Gas-powered snow blowers offer the most power and can be an ideal choice for areas prone to deep, heavy snow. Keep a full gas can handy to tackle demanding jobs with few stoppages.

Essential Snow Blower Features

As well as the power source that most fits your needs, there are many snow blower features to consider when shopping, including:

• A wider clearing width to tackle larger areas more quickly
• Increased depth to work through deeper snow
• Adjustable chutes for more control over the distance and direction of the cleared snow
• Headlights for more visibility on dark winter days
