We average 50" of snow a year, but have had over 100" numerous times. Not the most in the country or anything but still significant.
Long story short - go search YouTube and see videos of the blower working. I'm willing to bet that this will work just fine for 99% of people.
I just hope this is more reliable than the GW single stage snowblower. I had 4 of them and every single one was defective. I gave up on GW snowblowers with those, but this thing gets some pretty great reviews!

If you need longer runtime, well then you're either waiting for batteries to charge or buying more just to have in case. The real con here is that $1300 will get you a really nice 2 stage unit that will run forever if you keep feeding it gas. Not the cheapest, literally the first google hit @ Home Depot:

I'm not against battery powered items - heck I have battery string trimmer, hedge trimmer and 2 blowers, but they are capable for what I need them for, and I acknowledge their drawbacks. I wouldn't anticipate or buy a handheld leaf blower to do my leaves in the fall - it;'s just not the right tool for the job, but they work great for blowing out the garage and blowing off patios and decks, a lot more convenient than a backpack gas blower in that situation.
For the batteries that you get out of this, I would say this is still an ok deal if you want to get into this type of tool. The 4ah batteries are the smaller size so they would be great to use on chainsaws and trimmers.
Personally, I would like to see this as a tool only. Most that are interested in this are already invested in the GW ecosystem and don't need more batteries. At 700 as a tool only, I would consider it.
I went with a Toro though last year as the price point for the Greenworks was about $1800~ and the Toro was on sale for about $1200. Real-life application of it is about 20-24 car spaces in a lot. They advertise 27. That's damn good to me.
At this price point...get this. Do not let folks dissuade you. This is a damn good deal if you're in the Greenworks family, especially as the auger looks very solid.
