Snowblowers are 4 stroke engines today, I'm not even sure anyone makes a 2-stroke machine. And they certainly aren't obsolete. An electric one is fine if you have a bit of light powder but no good if you're moving a lot of deep, heavy snow off a decent amount of square footage. And don't buy a gas blower than isn't at least 2 stages. I don't doubt the future will make them comparable and lower in cost but I wouldn't buy one today.
