I remembered the one that I picked out last year... Ariens 920021.
As I understand it, I pretty much have to go with a 2-stage blower because of the gravel driveway. I can't remember exactly why but a single stage can't cope with that. Ariens blowers are re-branded Husqvarna units and are generally considered to be great for Harry Homeowner types such as myself.
This is the one that I want. Just need to find it somewhere...

Honestly, even without the whole gravel driveway issue, I probably would have landed on a 2-stage anyways. There are areas of the driveway close to the house where I would need to be able to move the snow further than most single-stage blowers are even capable of doing.

this. and if you ever have "wet" snow. a single stage simply can't pick it up and throw it.

Note the blower in the "better" category on the second link. That would be the Ariens 920021.

also, make sure you get one with "spacer" shoes. this is very important for gravel driveways.

It's too low to go anywhere in deep snow although it has the traction to do it and you are OK if you drive backwards through the deep stuff to keep it out of the grill.

If/when the Ariens fails on me in a couple of years, that will be the replacement, me thinks. I just wanted to keep it under a grand all in for my first go around. Hopefully it isn't money wasted.
