What size snow blower do I need for a driveway?
Listed clearing widths in this set start at 24 inches on several models and reach 31.9 inches on the Honda HSS1332.

Compare any listed intake height with the deepest snow you expect before relying on a machine for it.
What is better, a 2 stage or 3 stage snowblower?
