Hi, I am a female who has never owned or operated a snow thrower before and I now need to purchase one.  I understand that I should get a 2 stage since my drive is very long and hilly.  Consumer Reports rates the Troy-Bilt storm 3090 as their highest rated snow thrower.  Yet another salesman (for a competing company) questioned the plastic chute.  What would be the best machine with the least mechanical difficulties for my situation?  Help!
