Gas single-stage
Sayreville gets enough snow that shovelling it all is a real job, about 3.8 tons a winter on this driveway, but storms over 8 inches are uncommon.
Before you buy, check the intake height against the deepest storm above, and plan to clear before the city plow leaves its ridge of heavy slush at the end of the drive.
