Picked up one of these as a floor model from my local hardware store that included two batteries for slightly more than this. It's great quality and doesn't require gas maintenance which was its biggest selling point. It's not the most powerful machine, but for most snows it'll do the job. Once the snow starts freezing into a solid sheet of ice, this guy gives up but then I've got other problems.

I typically have no problems getting my smallish driveway done multiple times on one charge, and it WILL run on just one battery.

Looking to pick up this brand in a lawnmower, weed whacker and leaf blower some time in the next few years as the batteries are swappable between them.

For those complaining about the battery and charger price, keep in mind the cost in gas, oil and stabilizer over the probably decade or more you will own this. It definitely does reward you for buying more into the ecosystem to share batteries.

Soooo....I bought the blower with the two batteries but now I feel like I overpaid. Seems everyone is commenting on just the base tool being a good price. Did I mess up?!?!
Nope. Very good deal with 2 5ah batteries as these are worth around $200 each . I Bought one earlier this year and it does shockingly well, even in wet snow.

This thing is a beast!!!! But below 32 and wet snow...it will get clogged and it does become a pain. I run a 7.5 and 5ah with a full 9 car driveway without a problem of running out of juice.
The key is to spray a lubricant like this on and around the auger and in the chute. It will rarely get clogged. http://www.performancelubricantsu...ellent.php

I have heard that the car wax sprays work too, just never tried it.

I'm in Nebraska and love mine. No problems starting or stalling out and throws about as well as the Toro it replaced. It will do two double driveways in heavy snow (like we just had) on the 2 5ah batteries. I have another 5ah and a 2.5ah I use to rotate as needed. If the snow is wet, spraying the chamber and chute with Pam or cooking spray is a good idea but I had to do that on the toro as well.

How much snow did you get? We received 14 inches officially. I was out 4 times on Monday to keep up with the snow on my 21" gas blower but it gave up and won't start again.

I'm in Omaha, we got about a foot. We went out twice, once after the first plow came by and we had 7-8" plus the plowed in section. Did the rest the next morning after it stoped snowing. The plowed section was as high as this single stage could handle

The snowblower did great, although you can tell when it hits the compacted plowed snow at the end of the driveway. That's when your throw distances drop a ton. But my old gas blower would stall out on that snow as well. I love that it always starts and you never have to mix gas. It does benefit from a relatively smooth driveway with the scraper bar.

Glad your review is good. I'm from Omaha as well!

Anyone in the D.C. area looking for a new one? The model that comes with two 5.0Ah batteries.

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.
If you're worried about clogging, spray Wd-40 before you start on the inside augers. Good luck

Says 1 year in description, specifications, and in the pictures for the product. My guess would be one year. I'll be passing on this one.
1 year warranty vs. 5 years for a new tool from Lowe's is a deal breaker for me.

Coconut or other more solid oils work great too. I tried that last time with my snow plow shovel when everything was sticking to it b4hand. Avocado/olive did not work as well.

Another plus is you don't have to spray pois everywhere.

Thanks OP. I am already in the Egosystem and so I ordered the blower, but no batteries. Acme shipped it fast and got here Friday. Basically seems like a brand new unit. We got our first significant snow in the DC area since two years ago and put it to good use. Seems like a great machine. Neighbor used it as well - no problems on a single charge. We just applied WD40 on the chute - applied like crisco using a paper towel,
