So unless you have heavy snow and lots of it, either shovel by hand or use the battery, because it will be done by the time you get the gas going. My neighbor pulls out his gas every time it snows, and I am done on my entire driveway before he even starts, because there's a lot more steps to prepare for. Check gas, choke, pull, multiple times, start, wait, warm up, choke off, go. Battery = put in battery -> push button and pull lever -> go. All in about 60 seconds from opening the shed.
Would love to talk the wife into something like this... but it is like comparing a tiger to a little bobcat in terms of something like this versus the Greenworks.
I think the issue is that most people expect the performance of a $600-900 snow blower from this under $300 unit.

Have to temper expectations. The paddle electric snowblowers are really effect against powdered snow. The GW uses plastic and struggle against wet or icy snow. The Kobalt 80v version uses rubber paddle which is a little better. Both will use a lot of power especially when it's really cold outside and that affects battery performance. 2ah will barely give you 20 minutes. I live in NJ and have no problems moving snow with these units. You just need to go out before the accumulation gets above 3 inches.
I had the snowjoe 2 stage and it used an auger style system. That unit was very power hungry and ended up flipping it as I was invested in the 80v line. Worked great since it was an auger system vs blade.
I can see why people bash these units. It's priced the same as some stronger gas counterparts and people expect the same performance. But it's not. Temper the expectations and use it on low accumulations and you should be fine.

I don't have any 60V batteries myself to test on an 80V tool (or vice versa) but I also haven't seen any evidence on the internet that anyone else has indicated this is the case.
My understanding is that GW is moving away from the 60V battery tool line for their 80V line.
Also I agree that the GW snowblower which includes the higher quality metal blade is they way to go with this snowblower and that you aren't going to get much run-time using a 2Ah battery. Also, the GW snowblowers do not perform well with wet snow and/or ice. Also, due to the distance of the blade to the plowing surface they tend to leave a thin coat of snow behind.
The best deals were the Costco GW snowblower deals with the 2x 4Ah batteries (I think it was like $500). When purchasing GW tools from Costco, Costco has a relationship with GW that allows the battery warranty to double from 4 years to 8 years. A significant chunk of the cost of these electric tools is the battery and charger (especially if you are going in on a deal with a larger Ah sized battery).

Feel comfortable with the Costco return policy, but I had my Toro 15 years until I had issues getting parts.
