Big snow blowers are generally gas-powered and two-stage models, more appropriate for large driveways. Make sure you choose one with a substantial throwing distance because owning a large snow blower, capable of moving hundreds of pounds of snow per minute is useless if you have to reblow snow a second time to get the task done.
