Electric motors are much more powerful that gasoline.
The two stage corded and battery electric snowthrowers are being tested in conditions that are far greater than we normally experience.
The problem between the two types... single stage and multi-stage... is the snowfall factor.
A multi-stage does not work well with lower snowfall amounts... it can not move fast enough to pack the impeller for it to throw any distance.
The single stage can handle the lower snowfall amounts easily, but can not handle the deeper, but rarer, snowfall events.
Her use of the single stage to do the area multiple times overcomes the obstacle of having a machine that will only handle the rare events.
With my Ariens, I have to shovel the lower snowfall amounts.
We know it works based on capital theory... capital will flow to the ''better mousetrap''. Since we are deep into this changeover, that is why you are seeing the Big Boxes focus more on that area... as sales-per-square foot is a primary management tool in retail functions.
