How to choose a Snow Blower to fit your needs.

Updated: May 1




Snow blowers typically have different stages that refer to the number of components involved in the snow removal process. The three main types are Single-Stage and Two-Stage and Three Stage snow blowers.

  1. Single-Stage Snow Blower:

  • This type has a single rotating blade (auger) that both scoops up and throws the snow.

  • The auger makes direct contact with the ground, helping to propel the snow blower forward.

  1. Two-Stage Snow Blower:

  • These snow blowers have an additional component known as an impeller.

  • The auger scoops up the snow and feeds it to the impeller, which then throws the snow out through the discharge chute.

  • Two-stage snow blowers are generally more powerful and suitable for heavier

  • Snow blowers with more stages are generally designed to handle heavier and deeper snow conditions. They can power through more challenging snow accumulation.


  1. Three-Stage Snow Blower: A stage 3 snow blower is not a common classification in the snow blower industry. Snow blowers are generally categorized as single-stage or two-stage. However, if you are referring to a more advanced or higher-capacity snow blower, here are some potential benefits:

  2. Increased Clearing Capacity:

  • A higher-stage snow blower often implies greater power and clearing capacity. This is beneficial for handling larger amounts of snow or clearing larger areas more efficiently.

  1. Enhanced Snow Throwing Distance:

  • Higher-stage snow blowers may have a more powerful impeller, allowing them to throw snow over longer distances. This is useful for preventing snow buildup in cleared areas.

  • Advanced snow blowers may have a wider clearing width, enabling you to cover a larger area with each pass. This can save time and effort, especially for clearing large driveways or walkways.

  1. Additional Features:

  • Higher-stage snow blowers may come equipped with additional features such as power steering, heated handles, and LED lights for improved visibility during low-light conditions.

  1. Durability and Build Quality:

  • In many cases, advanced snow blowers are built with more robust materials and construction, enhancing their durability and longevity.

  1. Variable Speed Control:

  • Some higher-stage snow blowers offer variable speed control, allowing you to adjust the pace according to the snow conditions and your preference.
