This three-stage snow blower is a decent choice for those who want to keep deep, compacted, icy snow away from their driveways, sidewalks, and back decks. It can remove up to 21-inch of snow on a single pass.

Pros
Pro Suitable for medium duty jobs
Due to the medium-sized 26-inch auger and a massive 357 cc Troy-Bilt engine, this snow blower can keep your 4-8 car driveway clean from snow all winter. It is also perfect for standard 48-inch wide sidewalk cleaning, as it will require no more than 2 passes to get such a sidewalk clean of snow.
Cons
Con Some snow is pushed to the left
When cleaning snow deeper than 6 inches, this snow blower will push some snow to the left of the auger housing, which causes it to leave a tiny snow trail. This issue is caused by the design of the accelerator (thick edges of the accelerator's blades tend to push a tiny bit of snow in the direction of accelerator's rotation). It will sometimes require you to do overlaps between each pass to get rid of that trail of snow.
