I have an older Kobalt made by Greenworks. You really need one or two 4AH batteries to effectively use it.
Fraud is not something to be proud of.
You know what sucks? Gas power tools that will not turn on when you need them because they been sitting around for a long time when you didn't need them.

As someone who has owned this for a few years (5) I feel I can offer good insight into the product. It is decent for a small driveway and front walk. That is about it. When I purchased it that was all I had was a long 1 car drive way, and a small front walk. I have since moved and have a much larger front walk, as well as a 2 car driveway and it is a real chore to use this in any type of heavier snow. The thrower blade is the real short fall on this unit, it is not strong enough to help you move the snowblower forward while throwing snow and it gets eaten up rather quickly when it touches the cement. I often have to lift the snowblower forward for it to do a good job cleaning the snow, otherwise I just create an ice rink with it.

I have this blower. It's great but small. I do multiple rounds during winter storms and it keeps up. I live in the Boston area.

Owned mine for about 5 years now, and it still works, in the Chicago area. I have both this and a gas. The gas is obviously SO MUCH BETTER at clearing snow, but I don't store it in my house, and they can be a PAIN in the ass to start when it's -20 degrees F outside, so usually it's going to be cold AF and starting from cold AF is not as easy as 1,2,3. It's an effort. Not only that, it's obviously heavier. I feel that the time I am done with the battery one, I may have got my gas one started. Unless you have a good, expensive gas one with a good overall carb and choke, it ain't starting easily in very cold weather. Time it heats up and you can turn the choke, several minutes are gone.

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.

Like many others, I've had this now for years too. I still use it and it still works. I have several batteries so runtime isn't an issue, but it really isn't powerful. Love the electric aspect, but doing it again I'd go for power and likely 2 stage. Climate change has been great for years in having mild winters, but this year we've had a real winter and I'm reminded that this little guy is for small stuff.

Same in many ways. I love and use mine now, but when I move to a larger property in a few years, I need to get a two stage one that is more powerful. I may still go electric where they are self propelled. They convenience of the electric really spoilers you. Then again, I also think it would be better to just get a blade for my John Deere or hitch mount blade for my jeep.

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.

Will chime in my thoughts as I have this unit, the Kobalt 80v, and the snowjoe 2 stage.

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 have the corded version from Greenworks which will be a little more powerful. Depending on the snow it maxes out in the 8-10" of snow range so I'd expect this to be similar. Dragging a cord around is a minor inconvenience but you don't have to worry about buying/charging batteries or them dying in the middle. And when they run it on sale it's around $100. It's not built to last 10 years but for $100 I'm fine to buy a new one every few years.

Agree, that's the beauty of the electric blowers they always start instantly every time and there's no maintenance. If you get heavy snow though you need a gas blower.

Quote from Mikki6112 :
Not true per Greenworks
There are various reports around the internet that also state that the housing of the 60V vs 80V are different making them incompatible.

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).

I was about to post that this deal caught my eye because I had purchased the model at Costco for significantly more money. Reading the posts I realize I have the model with the metal auger and the (2) batteries are 4 Ah. I've used it 3x since and it performed well, albeit it feels cheap, like a kids toy as most of it is actually plastic. Used a full battery to do a 65 foot 3 car wide driveway and walkway so happy with the battery performance is 30 degree weather. Snow was slightly melted and about 4 inches so it struggled with the slush, but that is expected.

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

Never happened in my lifetime or to anyone I know. Have fun charging those dinky weak tools for 20 minutes of use.

Nice! Make sure you register your batteries with Costco so you can get the extra 4 year warranty with GW.
