I have the 60v version. It's okay but does get stuck easily with moderately wet or packed snow and even by bits of ice.
If you're trying to stay cheap, spend this much on a second hand gas blower and you'll be happier. Gas does come with maintenance issues though so no free lunch.

It's going to struggle with snow deeper than 3 inches but with patience it will clean it up as long as it is not heavy wet snow... then it will struggle even more. It is great though for doing light snow, fluffy snow and smaller driveways, decks and walks. Anything more robust than that though a better electric, i.e. 2 stage self propelled is really needed or a gas two stage.

This is my conundrum - some years we get barely any snow. Other years, we get more than others. Overall it's usually 2-4 snowfalls per season. And each time it's 3-4", occasionally we'll get a bigger snowfall of 10-12" in one go. So for me, I just don't need a heavy duty unit but also don't want something that just won't work. I guess I'll continue to stick with shoveling for the exercise… 😆
Known issue with ANY electric snowblower is the clog. Just spray down the inside with either snowblower lube or car ceramic coating and this thing will fling snow that is less than 6 inches. Problem solved.
I have the 80V version from BB (blower, handheld blower, 2 4Ah 80V batteries, 1 2Ah 80V battery $399.99) and it's alright. No comparison to a gas powered one in terms of power but it gets the job done.

Is there anyway to use ryobi 40 volt with this? I have 5-6 ryobi batteries and my greenworks are at 60 volt platform which is most
Likely dead never seen deal on them 🤦🏻 ♂️
I've got the SnowJoe corded version and cleared 15" or so of snow after returning to the early January storm in Iowa...worked like a charm. Honestly not hard to avoid a cord, especially if you are doing long passes anyway.

Heavy wet snow and 8 inches and had no problem.
18v corded.
what else can I use to lube it? olive oil or cooking spray? garage door lube ?

Very tempting at this price WITH a 4.0 battery too. I have the full 40v line with a bunch of batteries and can't say enough good things about my experience with everything. Snow in NJ is so inconsistent though. Bought one of these a few years ago because it was so cheap, but ended up returning it because it literally never snowed that winter and this year it's only snowed twice. Hmmmm.......
