Word of caution, Slava. Heavy-duty two-stage snowblower could be hard on your back as well. They are heavy to push and not that easy to maneuver. You still need to do some lifting when turning that thing around the corners. We have an angled long driveway so I've got tired of shoveling and bought a top-of-the line Craftsman machine at Sears a few years ago. If there's less than 6" of snow, I still use a shovel/brush combination. Those purple-colour push shovels sold at Home Depot are super great and easier on the back. I do use the snowblower when it's more than 6" of snow. By the time I'm done with the driveway my back feels it. Plus, I still finish off with the brush, as the snowblower leaves a little bit of snow and ugly tire tracks all over the driveway.
