"A two-stage machine uses two types of augers to handle snow -- a main auger to break up and gather, and a secondary screw that throws snow to the side. These blowers are the most popular choice, as they can handle almost any driveway length and deep or heavy snow. They're also relatively affordable, with 24-inch models often costing under $1,000."
"A single-stage snow blower is one of the smallest models available. It's called "single stage" because it only uses one auger to sort, scoop, and throw snow. They're the weakest type of blower, meant for short driveways or areas that get a few inches of snow. Their compact design makes them easy to store."
"Three-stage snow blowers are beasts. They use three augers to break up heavy snow and even ice accumulation and blast it out of the chute. Some three-stage models, like those from Cub Cadet, can throw snow 50 feet to the side and 20 feet into the air."
Four main snowblower categories include single-stage, two-stage, three-stage, and powered shovels, each defined by the number and role of augers. Single-stage models use one auger to sort, scoop, and throw snow, making them compact and suited for short driveways and light snow. Two-stage machines add a secondary screw to throw snow, allowing them to handle longer driveways and deep or heavy snow at an affordable price point. Three-stage blowers employ three augers to break heavy snow and ice and can eject snow far and high. Powered shovels provide a lightweight, very small option for minimal clearing tasks.
