I live in Jackson Hole,Wyoming (Ski town). There is lots of snow, November 2020 we have had 15 inches of snow all ready. I took out my new Greenworks 80V 20-Inch Cordless Snow Thrower and I finished my driveway in 15 minutes. Usually it takes me 35 minutes to clear my driveway. No more stress when it comes to moving snow at my house. The Greenworks snow Thrower is quick and easy. The 80V battery is easy to charge and the charge is enough to finish my driveway.
Comes out of box ready to go. Charged battery and tested and seems to work fine. My only concern is metal on bottom sides, which might chip my paved patio and driveway. Asked service if they had rubber piece I could put over, didn’t hear back.
We got this in late summer so we would be ready by the time the snow falls, big mistake, now we are past the number of days to return it. Have tried to use this twice, both times it clogs non stop (get the clog cleared, go about 10 ft and its clogged again). when it does throw snow it barely makes it 1 or 2 feet out the chute, just dumping snow right next to the blower, so it makes the next pass by even deeper. used to have a gas powered, so i know how to use one, this is nothing but a cheap toy. Very frustrating when i see neighbors with blowers handle these 2 snows with no issues at all.
I grew tired of mixing gasoline and running extension cords, so I went all in on the 80 volt powered product. My first purchase was the leaf blower, whose power is equivalent to the gas blower I was replacing. I was so impressed by the amount of leaves this thing was able to move, and how fast I was able to clean up the entire yard, I decided to go totally battery powered. Being able to charge a second battery while using another one in a tool and the ability to share the same battery between tools helps make maintaining the yard more manageable.
I’m super impressed with this blower. I got it mainly to keep my back patio, porch, and driveway clear. The power and battery capacity is great. I really like that I can take it into my garage and blow out the garage, then cut through the house to the back patio without the stink of exhaust. Highly recommend.
