Two-Stage Snow Blowers (24 items found)

When you get a light dusting of snow, shovels and snow pushers may be all you need to get your walkways and driveway cleared. But these quick-and-simple solutions often aren't ideal for heavy snowfall accumulation. Two-stage snow blowers can come in handy during more severe winter storms, and Ace can help you get one in time for the season with a variety of models from brands like Toro and Craftsman.

What Is a Two-Stage Snow Blower?

All snow blowers feature a corkscrew-like auger mounted horizontally in the front. As the snow blower moves, the auger rotates, drawing in snow that can then be ejected through a chute.

With single-stage snow blowers, the auger expels the snow through a chute in one snow-clearing action. By contrast, a two-stage snow blower has an additional feature: a rotating impeller fan. The auger sends the processed snow to the impeller fan and as it turns, it throws the snow through the chute at much farther distances.

• Quicker clearing: The addition of the impeller fan makes it possible for a two-stage snow blower to clear snow away at a faster speed than one-stage blowers.
• Tough conditions: As it spins, the fan breaks up ice and heavily compacted snow that might jam up a single-stage model.
• Gravel surfaces: Many two-stage snow blowers work as well on gravel as they do on paved surfaces, whereas single-stage counterparts typically can't.
• Greater throw distance: Dual-stage snow blowers can eject snow further away from you, helping to make quick work of difficult tasks.
• Less fatigue: With engine-driven wheels typical, two-stage snow throwers require less effort to push, making inclines a breeze.

Two-Stage Snow Blowers: Battery Vs. Electric Vs. Gas

When shopping for a new two-stage snow blower, you have three main types to consider: electric, battery and gas-powered options.

• Corded Electricity: Plugging into a standard electrical outlet, two-stage electric snow blowers are quiet, lightweight and reliable on the job. With no need to recharge batteries or refuel, they offer consistent power.
• Battery:Battery two-stage snow blowers have rechargeable power, making extension cords redundant to keep you moving on the job. These models run quieter than most. Shop EGO for reliable options.
• Gasoline: Two-stage gas snow blower models are commonly available. They offer the same cordless maneuverability as battery models but with more power. They can continuously blow snow until the tank needs refilling—so keep your spare gas can full.
