I own this and it honestly is not great. It gets bogged down in anything more than 3 in of powder. If you have wet snow it clogs constantly and locks up as soon as the blades cake up with snow. I have heard that the 22" fixes all these issues and with the 4 or 5 AH battery it is a beast. I would honestly save your money and get that or get the 80V snow shovel. This was the first 80V tool I regretted purchasing.
I mean you can call me dumb but you can't deny all the bad reviews this thing has. Maybe there are issues with the QC or maybe a good 30% of users of this machine are just not using it INTELLIGENTLY.
I used teflon lube on the blades and chute which does help with buildup, but the real issue is that there is just not enough power to aerosol the show into and out of the chute.
I have used the EGO 56V blower and it absolutely crushes my GreenWorks 80V. I am a firm believer that you should not have to modify the way you use this blower just to prevent it from stalling every couple of feet. I have yet to see this issue with the EGO and I suspect that Greenworks created the 22" blower to address these issues. The new one can house two 4Ah batteries which will greatly improve power and runtime.
If you do get this, be sure to keep your batteries warm in your house before using. It really helps with the duration and seemed to stall a little less when I did this.
I've been using a similar Greenworks model in NE NJ the past 4-5 winters, and if you attack the snow INTELLIGENTLY it works pretty darned well. Like, if the snow is heavy, don't try to take a full swarth, just take half a swarth.
Battery at full blast last ~25 minutes: bring the battery in to charge, and grab a cup of coffee/tea whilst you're waiting for the battery to charge.

Have you tried spraying the inside with some kind of nonstick/teflon coating?

These are hit and miss. We had to order 3 before we got one that worked. The mother board is iffy at best. None the less the one that works works very well. Depending on the return policy I would probably go with Amazon as they were great to work with returns etc.

I used mine for about 30 minutes I got so pissed off I boxed it up and sent it back it just seemed not to have the power and torque to throw the snow out, and I'm even talking fresh snow of course within reason. Just my two cents
I would add I bought the 12 inch wide snowblower and it did work a little better but I don't use it much because it's kind of hard on the back because the motor and everything is in the head of the unit so it's kinda heavy, I wish it was more balanced but maybe I should try a strap again just my two cents
I've been using this each year since 2017 when Amazon sold it in a 2Ah battery combo for $187. Mine is the 20 inch version.
It works extremely well for a single battery unit. I live in upper east bench Salt Lake City (Mt Olympus) and have tackled many snowfalls that were higher than the machine. In these heavy storms, I make _one_ single shoveled path down the driveway. After that, as long as you don't try to throw more than ~10 inches width of snow (roughly half the width of the blower), then it never has any problems with clearing. The machine will happily knock over high snowfall so that it's all goes straight into the 'scoop' where it is then sent to the chute and thrown. I'm not getting 20 ft throws like the neighbors with their gas units, but I do get 10-15ft of throw distance regularly. One single 4Ah battery (from 2017 and still running strong) can clear my 80ftx25ft driveway without issue.
The only negatives that I've seen with my thrower is the constant manual adjustment of the chute angle, and I do _sometimes_ get clogged chute issues at the end of the driveway where plow salted snow accumulates. I have not bothered with teflon or any other non-stick sprays in my unit - it simply works for me.
Could this be better and stronger? Sure. I'd take that. I grew up using a gas thrower and while they are faster, I still prefer this electric. For what it costs, never smelling like gasoline after a clear, and for how light it is I can't complain. I am often loading the whole thrower (with one hand) into the back of my car to drive out and help others that need it. At the end of the day: it is far better than shovel alone on a large driveway.

I can pretty much +1 everything digitoast says here. I also bought mine with battery for $187 in 2017.
If you take care not to overload it, it faithfully gets the job done. Just don't expect to slam it into 12 inches of slush and clear it. I'm in central Indiana and have pretty much only needed to use it for one or two snowstorms each year...but I'm glad it's there when I need it.

Their other tools are awesome.
I am still holding onto my corded unit until the battery / motor offering on snowblowers are fully up to snuff.
Reading experiences like yours reinforce my thinking.
I have an Ego blower and rather dislike it.
I get about 5 minutes if that of decent power blowing and then it overheats.

Menrad's sells this rebadged as their Masterforce house brand, I believe. I bought one a couple months ago, bundled with a leaf blower. The best things I can say about it is that it's light, and the leaf blower seemed like a beast.
The snow blower I had worked, but it was fraught with problems and the build quality is suspect to say the least - just about every part on it is plastic, including the entire auger mechanism. It worked well on 2"-3" of fine powder but clogged very easily with wetter snow. It had trouble getting all the way down to the pavement, regardless of snow type. I think the worst part though was that the battery was very difficult to insert. It pushed in but it would take 20 tries every time to get it to latch into position, and I'd ultimately have to slam it in out of frustration. And it popped out during use a couple times.
I bought this model because we were expecting a huge snow storm, the refurb Ryobi I had purchased previously came broken, and my elderly mother was staying with me (I normally don't bother clearing the driveway much - Subarus don't care). I ended up getting the $12 part I needed to fix my Ryobi, so I returned the Masterforce pair to Menard's. The Ryobi seems much beefier, has a much more confidence-inspiring auger, gets right down to pavement with ease, and is compatible with other tools I own. There really is no comparison between the two, and the dual 7.5ah batteries allow me to finish my driveway and sidewalk in one go. I can see people who deal with less snow (we can get a lot in NE Ohio - lake effect snow) being happy with this Greenworks, especially at this price if they already have an 80V battery, but it just wasn't enough for me. It would be a nice compliment to a big gas unit, to keep around for sidewalks or very light snow, if you can avoid the battery issue I had.
