Hi,

I have a two car concrete driveway about 95 ft long and 16 ft wide and leads
to a side entrance garage. It is not very hilly and has a mild slope. I
live in SE Michigan where the snow fall can be considered moderate to
heavy. I am looking for a good snowblower as my single stage Honda has
given up. I have to decide between a two stage Toro 428 XLE and a single
stage Honda 520AS. I liked the clean job from my single stage blower but
the snowblowing job was quite a chore. I would appreciate any pros & cons
between single stage vs two stage models (these two in particular), Any
recommendations??

2 stage is always better than single stage as the job gets tougher.

Yes and no: 2 stage clogs easily in wet heavy snow, whereas some
single stage machines (the Toros and the Hondas) are not fazed much by
it if it's not too deep. Consider the type of snow you get, too.
