I have no idea how PowerSmart is.
I do have several Ego products and they are well engineered and manufactured. I have not had a problem with an of my Ego products except for a battery purchased with a closeout chainsaw when Home Depot stopped selling Ego. Ego replaced the battery quickly.
All my Ego products work well and I woud buy again. They are more expensive than gas models, but their lack of maintenance makes it worthwhile for me.
Another benefit of Ego is all their products can use all their batteries. Although you would not want to use a 12 Ah battery in a string trimmer becuase it is too heavy and you don't need that much power for a string trimmer.

Ego - The battery storage when not in use is to keep it warm and dry. The battery has circuitry to partially self discharge to a safe storage level when not used for about 30 days. Charging can be done in less than 2 hours combined for both batteries. Throws snow like a beast and is quieter than a gaser.
Ariens - Oil change, put a squirt of oil in cylinder before storing, add fuel additive, drain gas, and run the gas out of the carb before storing for summer. Check auger lubrication. Replace spark plug periodically.
Check the oil periodially during the use season buy gas and fill the tank.
I had an Ariens Deluxe 28 in. 2-Stage Electric Start-Gas Snow Blower with Auto-Turn Steering. It was great. I loved it and sold it after a few years for $200 less than I paid for it, thanks to a great sale price and inflation. Threw snow like a beast.
I had both the Ariens, and currently have the Ego so I am speaking from actual experience rather than what I may have heard or read.
We disagree, but I speak from experience.

You are just lucky that gas is safe and stable under all conditions, unless you spill it, store in a leaky container, or keep it for more than a few months and you have to drive somewhere in a storm if you forgot to buy some before.
