It depends on where you live. Here in southern RI, we tend to get a lot of wet and slushy snow. This is where the single stage blower comes in handy. I have used the Toro Snow Commander for the past 5 or 6 years and have not had any problems clearing the slop out of the drive ways. Under those conditions, double stage blowers tend to clog a lot more. The only draw back to a single stage is trying to clear out the bottom of the drive after the plow has come through, especially if it ices up. But if you stay on top of it, you shouldn't have any issues. Good luck!
