It will not do the work of a powerful two stage blower when the snow is heavy and wet and deep

Like buying a 2 WD and putting a 4 inch lift kit in it

I have an average two car driveway, and i only use 2.5 batteries as a backup. I would recommend two 5 ah batteries for best operation.

It is not the most powerful (the throw distance is measly), but we still use it more often than our gas Ariens. It is easy to maneuver, has a reliable push button start, and I don't have to smell like gas fumes.
I've had mine for 2 years now. It's incredible in terms of value. I think I spent around $300 on eBay for bare tool. You need to tilt the chute to the upward position. The snow throws at least 25-30 feet high! Trust me! This thing has some power!

I'm a shave north of Chicago, but this blower served me well today and all last winter. We got about 8" of dry snow overnight and this Ego worked through it just fine on my 3-car driveway. The convenience of it all---plus using a battery system I'm already in (lawnmower, backpack blower, and weed whacker)---is just really nice.

Single or dual stage? Dual stage is great if you need it and want to pay for it ($1200 for the Ego two stage, I believe), but this single stage has worked for me at a much lower price.
Good to know. I'm in Joliet. I've wanted one (because I am in the Ego ecosystem), but I always read the single stage performs poorly so I held off. Also, because our winters haven't bad all that bad.

You must live next to a cliff. I love mine too but throws snow 15 ft max and heavy snow about 5ft. Tilting the chute to avoid slamming into bumps is my biggest complaint. I wonder how used the reconditioned batteries are. I've had mine 3 years without a decline but it's almost worth it as a backup. Replacement batteries are expensive

I have one of these I got about 6 months ago, (non-refurbishment) of course it hasn't showed yet so I haven't been able to try it. I'm coming from a 40v Greenworks one so I'm assuming this one is more powerful. My only beef is when the handlebar is folded in, its very awkward to move (position ) since the handle doesn't actually lock in the folded position.

seriously a batterie operated snow blower.
I've been battling snow for 2 days. I would hate to think of worrying about a battery
This would probably be good for a Texas winter.
I'm sure not for the anywhere north
I live in Michigan and own this and a big ass two stage Costco snowblower.

I wanted something smaller to handle lower snow levels and the walkway leading up to the house as 'The beast' 2 stage was overkill in lower snow situations and difficult to turn/manage for my front door walkways.

This thing is amazing for its size.

My first use was this year during a wet, slushy snowfall. Yes, it clogged a bit but my god was I impressed.

Yesterday we got two bouts of 3-6 inches. Yes, it doesn't throw snow as far as a gas one but it's really good at what it does and it doesn't matter.

Wifey lives this thing and I have only got to use it once this season cuz she keeps hogging it. LOL

Never had battery problems with the 5amp batteries and I have a long driveway and walkways in front of my house.

I contemplated getting a spare 7.5amp battery (I have the mower and one 7.5 already) to use in this but honestly...the two 5amps do so well that it would be a waste of money.


So, if you, like me, already have a few EGO Tools this is a no brained for a tool only. Especially if you have 2 7.5 or 5 amp batteries already.

I got the last battery included one from the Home Depot Ego blowout earlier this year and it's been very impressive this far.

So much so that I fear unless there is a major polar vortex in Michigan this year, I might not ever use 'The Beast' two stage gas blower this year.

So in summary. If you are wondering if it's any good. It is and has been just fine in a Midwestern winter.

just what I Implied.

What I should have said is ---
While this would probably be ok for moderate use, I wouldn't use it because of having to rely on batteries.
I just spent upwards of 6 hours removing snow today and the same yesterday.
If I had to rely on batteries I'm sure I would still be at it.
To me it would be like
Like buying a 2 WD and putting a 4 inch lift kit in it, but to each his own.
You just haven't realized how far batteries have come yet and what they can do. I mean no offense by this, but most people are skeptical until they've tried the newer and better brands of battery-powered large tools. This snowblower may not work for you, but step up to their 2-stage battery powered and I bet it would do what you want. I live in CT and would get this deal here if the warranty was better, and be quite confident it would serve me well.

One huge plus about battery powered tools is much LESS worry. All my previous gas-powered tools I'd be fixing every other use. When I need them most they are never working lol. Battery is just 1. Push button 2. Go. We started with a 40-volt ryobi leaf blower @ work for cleaning out gutters and after-job cleanup. My two co-workers immediately went out and got one for themselves and I got a second for home.

Absolutely love my 18" Ego chainsaw that people with Stihls and Husqvarnas are impressed by and several end up going out to get one. I cut a truckload of 24" Oak or Ash on 1 battery. I don't have to wear ear protection because they are so quiet (though I still do), and only have to put in bar/chain oil. I don't throw out my arm pull-starting or worse have to diagnose what's wrong when it doesn't start or just go home defeated. We use a Ego push lawn mower on our 1 acre lot. We have to use 2 batteries, but it's quiet; fumeless; no failing pull-start; no mixing/spilling gas...

Good review, i have normal 2 stage craftman blower from lowes. Good to know that this can handle mighigan weather. I also used my blower yesterday after about 4-5 inches of snow and was wondering about the EGO. I have an ego edger and string trimmer and love them so far.

The snowblower uses 2 batteries and I've never needed to change my 5.0s mid-job.

YA your probably right,
I use all Dewalt 20 and 60 Volt power tools now. with the exception of a air compressor. But I've never been happy with a oil less compressor.
My 60 Volt do just fine.

I got one this year. It's nice. Not thrilling, but nice. It's probably the only EGO product I'd hesitate to recommend.
