What is the difference between a two-stage and a single-stage snowblower?
A single-stage snowblower has an auger that does two jobs; to pull up and throw the snow. For two-stage models, the auger only pulls up the snow. Two-stage models have an impeller as well, which does the discharge of the snow. For this reason, two-stage snow throwers do a better job.
