Title: Works Great So Far
Review: I live in Minnesota. I have a 3-car garage, so my driveway is of average suburban length, 3 cars wide tapering to two at the bottom. It’s a little steep at the bottom — be careful when it’s icy. Santa gave me one of these for Christmas. I’ll share my thoughts.I got the two-battery option with 5-AH batteries. I thought the difference between 1 battery and 2 would be longevity of a charge, but I think 2 might also have a little more power. I’m not sure.We’ve had one significant snowfall, and I was out of town. It was 4-6 inches of powder but compacted down to about 2 inches of crunch, crunchy snow by the time I plowed it. I’ll update this review after we get a serious storm.This guy did great, for a 1-stage blower. When aimed ahead and not blowing into the wind, yes, it will make it (estimated) the 35-feet advertised. It does not throw that far when diverted to the side. I’m guessing I lose about half the range. This meant instead of going up and down the driveway like I do with my monster 2-stage, I went side to side. The blower handled that just fun, clearing the driveway easily.It does not clear as well as a shovel, but it probably did a little better than my two-stage and didn’t take any longer. It was way, way faster than shoveling, and I didn’t put my back out. And it’s not remotely as hard to move about as my 2-stage, but as I said, that guy’s a monster (larger than necessary for the size of my driveway).Assembly was trivial. There’s almost nothing to do. It took me 15 minutes. Operation — well, if you actually read the manual, also trivial. The batteries are huge but go in easily To start, “press and hold the button and squeeze the handle”. Then it’s like your lawn mower — release the handle and it stops. You must press and hold the button first, or it won’t run.There’s a fairly nice headlight if you’re out at night.Compared to any gas-powered device, this guy is a lot quieter. It’s not silent. There’s a definite whir, and it sounds crunch against the crunchy snow. But I didn’t feel like I needed hearing protection. It might be quiet enough not to wake the neighbors; I’m not sure. Maybe I’ll ask them.It comes with a single-battery charger, so you have to charge one at a time. The charger is huge. This isn’ t and electric drill, after all. It can be mounted on the wall. I put it downstairs — they’ll charge faster when they’re not out in a cold garage.This is reasonably light. After I finished my driveway, I hauled it through the house and did my deck, too. I don’t even try with the gas guy.There’s a lever to rotate the discharge chute, although you have to step to the side of the machine and use a handle on the chute if you want to change the up/down angle. Up for further distance, down if it’s windy and blowing back in your face. I forgot the lever was there and was rotating it side-to-side by hand. Silly me.I am estimating batteries will last 4 or 5 seasons before needing replacement. If so, this might cost me $100 in batteries a season. Compared to paying for a service — or even taking the two-stage for annual tuneups — that’s either cheap (compared to a service) or not bad (tuneups). As long as I don’t let the batteries get to old, it will always run, which is a nice bonus.So far, the only downside would be if I wanted to also plow my neighbor’s driveways, which I would frequently do with the two-stage. I don’t think a single charge would last through two driveways. And I’m not sure if they’ll last through one with a significant snowfall, but if not, I’ll just take a break and let them charge. It doesn’t take all that long.

Title: works!!
Review: Haven’t had a big snow, but the few storms we had it sure beat using a snow shovel. Waiting for the big one this year. No gas fumes, just charge batteries and you are in business. Great tool

Title: Read description!
Review: Just received my ego snowblower. Installation was extremely easy. Charged my batteries and put in snowblower. Everything works great. BUT I was extremely disappointed that I didn’t have heated handles. So I went back to the description. I was going to order snt2416 with 2 batteries, which has heated handles. I wanted 2 extra batteries so I clicked on the square next to it with 4 batteries to save money. I assumed it was the snt2416. It’s not. It’s the snt2406 with no heated handles. Why would they do that? Lesson learned. Read description thoroughly

Title: Super surprised!
Review: First, let me say that I was not expecting too much from this snowblower. I’ve owned a John Deere compact utility tractor with a 42″ 2-stage snow thrower attachment for more than 2 decades, but after a down-sizing move (empty nesters) I had to sadly sell the tractor, so for the past 2 years I’ve been using a shovel. I finally got sick of that, and started to research snowblowers.As this is a single-stage snowblower, I was not expecting much, even with the higher price. I definitely didn’t want to get one of those tiny 8-12″ units; although they are less pricey, I doubt they do much more than shift around light 2-3 inches of snow.Right out of the box, this was easy to set up; the only thing you have to attach is the auger, which is easy. Honestly, the hardest part was taking this out of the box; it’s well packaged, which of course means that it’s harder to get out. It took me all of 20 minutes to get this out of the box/attach the auger. The batteries charge very quickly; the charging base is ROBUST and charges the batteries fully within about a half hour, which means that, in the event that you’re getting snow storm after snow storm, this is a good tool…I was worried about running out of juice, the one downside to an electric vs a gas model.Our first snow was about 5″ of a wet, heavy snow. I was concerned about it being so heavy that it would overwhelm this unit. I was wrong! This baby went through it with aplomb, and I was able to do my whole driveway with one charge (we have a 3-car driveway), as well as our front walkway. I’m not going to tell you that it threw this heavy snow 20 feet like my tractor used to, but it threw it a good 5 feet, which allowed me to then throw the snow far enough so a 2nd run blew it into the lawn. So, basically, I did more than just one pass with just the one charge on the batteries. This DID drain the batteries completely. Since then, we’ve had a variety of snow, from 2-3″ of a light snow, to again 6″ of heavy wet snow. This unit is best suited for 4-6″ of a light snow; in this instance, this unit will throw the snow 20 feet or more when the auger is situated correctly.Speaking of the auger, this is one of the things that sets this unit apart from others, IMO. It has a lever on the handle that you can adjust on the fly, which makes snowblowing that much faster; we live in an area that’s pretty windy, so you have to be smart about how you do the job; it’s actually easier to use in windier conditions as you can set the auger to blowing farther up in the air, and let the wind do more work for you. This is when the lever to rotate the auger from right to left is so handy; instead of having to stop and crank a knob or something, you simply pull the lever up or push it down.A couple things I really like about this unit; You can tell the charge state of the batteries as there’s a loop of 6 LED lights on the top (1 for least charge and 6 for fully charged), there’s an LED light on the unit that is really handy at night, and the unit FEELS very light (it’s actually not…pick it up fully and you’ll realize that), because it’s very well balanced. Finally, one of the things that surprised me about this unit is that the blades are metal, so this will grind up larger chunks of snow (that the plow leaves behind in your driveway) pretty well, and it gets down to the driveway pretty well, so you’re not leaving behind snow that turns to packed ice when you drive over it.Overall, I’m VERY pleased with this unit, so had to write a review. If you’re like me and want to try and be more environmentally conscious, but are concerned about a battery-operated unit not being able to cut it, this unit is well worth the price, IMO. It’s midway between those cheap battery units that I’ve never used, but I feel will just take up space in your garage because it doesn’t work, and the larger 2-stage units that cost twice as much. I don’t expect this to take down 12″ drifts in a single pass, but hopefully you don’t expect that, either. For 90% of the snow we’ll get each year, I think this unit is the perfect solution.

Title: This Snow Blower Is For Real!
Review: I bought this Cordless Ego Snow Blower after doing alot of research. Let me say that it’s trial run was through some of the wettest and heaviest snow that I’ve ever seen and this unit opened up my three cardriveway with 4 to 6 inches of heavy wet snow, beautifully. I started on the lowest power setting and gradually moved it up to the halfway point on the power setting and left it there. This mahine has plenty of power and actually busted up the heavy snow at the end of my driveway that the snowplow pushed there. The steel auger is a plus for handling heavy snow as well. I’m glad I got this feature. As far as battery life, I used 2 bars on each battery after clearing my 3.5 car driveway and about 25 feet of sidewalk. Plenty of battery power left and this snow was heavy! All in all a great first experience usingmy Ego Single stage, Cordless 56 Volt Snow blower. I really like it!

Review: Let’s get this out of the way first. It’s not a gas-powered blower and shouldn’t be expected to perform like one. That said, for your typical suburban property this is pretty much ideal. Does 4 to 6 inches of snow (10 to 15 cm) no problem, and 8 to 12 inch drifts (20 to 30 cm) without much problem, you just have to slow down a bit. Small and light enough to work around obstacles on my patio, or one-handed operation in the driveway if the snow isn’t too deep.”Throws snow up to 20 feet” was written by marketing. It’s technically true, under ideal conditions the snow won’t go more than 20 feet. My engineering brain would have said throws 10 to 15 feet. It’s far enough to throw across a sidewalk but for a driveway you’ll want to start going down the middle and throwing to each side. It does throw farther if the snow is deeper – if there’s not enough snow then it tends to just create a cloud instead of a stream of snow.Runs about an hour on one charge. That’s enough to do my driveway, sidewalk, patio and back walk.Can’t say yet how well the batteries will age. Definitely get the version with the steel auger, it’s worth the extra money.I’d rate it as a light to medium duty machine. If you have to do serious work, you probably need to step up to something else but for what it is, it’s pretty much perfect.

Review: I was miffed that it came late but that was UPS fault I suspect not the seller. On the unit, it cuts through 7â moderate snow easily, my driveway is about 60â long and there was still 50% charge left. Itâs not self propelled so I think it would be work with greater than 10â. But itâs light, really easy to use and itâs a single stage direct drive, mostly plastic so should be much more reliable than the conventional 2 stage belt driven units. Only used it twice but so far looks good. PS handle folds for easy storage.
