the snow shovel actually seems to perform better. while I like my greenworks stuff [electric yard tools in general] I find myself replacing their 40v tools with gas equivalent or plugins for extra power.

lawn mower was worthless because my grass would be too moist/ thick for too much area of yard. went to gas. may try the greenworks again next year after helping some drainage, I pulled it out for mulching leaves this year, did that okay but didn't bag properly [wet, which is understandable]. I like it, motors/ battery just don't have the juice for above average work loads/ longevity.

picked up a big weed wacker this year. does the job but eats string, heavier, grass contact areas wear fast, no speed adjustment. my 36v 12 year old black and decker was where it was at, adjustable speed, nothing wore out besides the battery, because speed was adjustable you never got hit with debris/ didn't waste energy on excess spinning. I regret trusting greenworks instead of going with my gut and getting the black and decker again. thought more batteries was almost a no brainer.

hedge trimmer is pretty okay the little I used [bought on clearance for battery]. only used it on tree trunk sized weeds though.

I forget what else I have that's been forgotten/replaced, but greenworks 40v definitely lacks basic features [I'm sure most do] and battery draw capabilities.

this snow blower looks good but I was skeptical. I've looked at it off and on over several years. I suspect the batteries can't properly feed energy to run the larger auger in above average conditions. better customer product videos are coming out showing that's true. but the snow shovel seems to be able to handle heavier/ frozen stuff thanks to its auger size. I ordered one on sale a few days ago. will see if it's worthwhile. I don't want to chance it on the snow blower. been burned too many times on 40v yard tools from greenworks, I'm sure other brands 40v line is in a similar boat. I don't see a reason to upgrade to a higher voltage line until I see improvements in tool ruggedness. frankly will probably convert my own tools, greenworks has been pushing me to do that since I've bought the 40v/saw power delivery issues.

What blower would you go with now for light 3-5" removal on sidewalk? I'm only on greenworks 24/48v system and dewalt 20/40/60v. I think it's a shame greenworks didn't do a 2x24v blower now that I have those from the mower.

I'm not sure to be honest. The 40v "fullsize" snow blower is too big for its battery. It will do light stuff from what I seen, but will be a FIGHT with anything heavier or stiffer. I've fought to love my 40v mower on 50% of my yard. Been there done that.

I just ordered and put together the 40v snow shovel. I like it mostly. It's the same line as the blower wheeled snow blower, bigger and heavier than a weedwacker by a bit but not too bad, smaller/lighter than the full size blower, and probably more awkward cause it's heavier but not too bad, and because the removal rudder isn't as wide, the battery can supply enough juice under load without stalling the motor and being a constant fight in heavier snows.

I have a LOT of area to remove snow from. But from what i've seen (I've looked off and on for years) the snow shovel is the way to go for most. If you are really set on a snow blower with wheels that you'll never have to pick up, you'll likely want an 80v setup, or another brand's 40v that can output more power, which I doubt, unless they allow you to run two batteries in seres to go from 30-40v to 60-80v. I looked at the PLUGIN greenworks snow blower, I believe only 13amp, which was comparable to the other brands 15 amp versions if not betterm and that looked great. But my time is worth a lot and I'm tired of throwing around 10 and 12AWG cords, especially when they're stiff from temperature. Which si why I chose the snow shovel, it's light, my woman can pick it up and move it if she CHOSE to, to make a path or do a large area if she wanted in a pinch real quick. It's decently portable.

I have a gas and diesel units of everything. I;m tired of the gas snow blower. But I've been messing around with alternative energy sources and alternative ways to get those energy sources for free/less emissions. I have been building my own equipment since I was 15, I will EVENTUALLY build (convert) my own full size electric snow blower, or tractor, who knows because of the inadequacy of brands battery systems/sizing of units for battery output, but I'm hoping a brand comes along to pick up slack on battery technology/price OR properly sizes a tool for battery output.

There's no right answer. It depends on snow load. Most people will find the full size 40v greenworks blower inadequate in average decent sized snows, from what I've seen. I'm in a heavy snow area (PA) and I chose the snow shovel. Have not used it yet, but it looks decently well made, and from what I've seen it'll do the job. May need multiple passes in heavier stuff, or keep up with it as it falls 4 to 6 inches at a time. I will probably always suggest the snow shovel over the blower. If you can deal with cords and get heavy snow, consider the 13 amp plugin greenworks snowblower. hope that helps. yard battery maintenance tools is definitely a lacking market for proper application, and cost is the biggest factor because bigger batteries with higher draw capabilities cost money upfront and over time.
