Even if there was a battery-powered two-stage snowblower, why would anyone get one? It'd be a waste of lithium. Trying to make sense of these two sentences. Further down, there's a description of the fairly involved ritual for winterizing a gas snowblower. Why not get a battery-powered one that uses your existing batteries (assuming you went all in to a specific brand) and avoid all that maintenance? I'm a homeowner who tries to DIY some easy stuff, and decided early to go all in to battery-powered tools. Power tools that need to run for a long time can be annoying (chainsaws, lawnmowers) because I need to plan ahead and have a bunch of batteries charged. But for the most part it has been great. I have appreciated not ever having to maintain a gas supply, deal with gas/oil spills, oil changes, winterizing, etc.
