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.
Used this morning and love it. I'm in the 40v camp and already have a lot of batteries. Cleaned up about 5-6" no issues.

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.
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.......
I have this model and it works great. I live in Iowa and we had two storms in January of ten plus inches within a week of each other. The first was super heavy and the second was the fluffy kind. This cleared both. It struggled with the heavy snow, but got the job done. It did take five batteries, but I have several tools in this ecosystem and have six, so no problem.

Agreed. This is basically useless except for powdery snow under 6".
Bought this from SlickDeals last time. So excited to put it all together. Brought it outside with 3 inches of snow for about 5 seconds, laughed at it, disassembled and returned.
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…
Just tackle it in stages. If you don't mind gas and the once a year maintenance and end-of-season storage prep required, then get a single-stage Toro Power Clear blower. I see them used on Facebook Marketplace all the time for between $200-300, but sometimes less. I have friends up north as well as in the Midwest who use the single stage Toro's. They're self-propelled, clear right down to the pavement (unlike 2-stage blowers) and can handle 10-12" easily if the snow isn't too wet or icy. For really heavy snows, just don't wait for all of it to fall before beginning your clearing.
Side note: I have a 2-stage Ariens SHO with a 306cc engine. Its a beast and I love it, but if I could do it all over again, I'd save my money and get Toro single stage instead.

Tons of effective options. A lot of folks just use cooking spray (Pam). Ski or snowboard wax works. There are products specifically designed & marketed as "snowblower non-stick sprays", like DuPont's Teflon Snow Repellant. Just about any silicon-based spray will work well, like CRC Heavy Duty Silicone Lubricant. Fluid Film (lanolin-based) works well (this is what I mainly use) and is more environmentally friendy than silicon sprays. Lastly, you could use a Ceramic wax spray coating (for automobiles), which lasts longer than the above options.
I'm in Aldi . I pick up a can of cooking spray and a woman asked me if it was any good. I laughed and she said "what's so funny."
I said I'm not using this to cook. I'm going to spray the inside of my electric snow blower to keep the snow from sticking. Then she laughed too.
This works for about 30 mins. of use before the snow begins to stick.

Gets messy with other oils when it's cold and wet. Just treat it with the mentioned stuff a day BEFORE using it and you'll be golden

Roll it into the house since it is small enough to warm up 👍

I guess everyone with Christmas lights is burning their houses down.
