Go for a small 2 stage gas snowblower...you'll be much happier. If you get
enough snow where you are to warrant thinking about buying a snowblower,
then you may as well get one that will be good enough to remove big
snowfalls. Even a small (5 or 6 HP) 2 stage gas snowblower will be better
than an electric one. And, make sure that you get a 2 stage one, not one of
those crappy 1 stage "paddle" gas ones.

If price is a factor, then look for a good used one.

Let's put it this way, I would take a 15 year old 6 horsepower gas 2 stage
snowblower over a brand new electric snowblower any day!

Anyone ever try an electric snowlower?
Not the Mickey Mouse little 'brooms', but the bigger 12 amp model that
resembles a small 5 hp. I see Toro makes a model 1800.
My city lot only has 40' of sidewalk. but I have a 10' wide driveway and
about 30' of wheelchair ramp for my mother.
