I used my 80V Snow Blower for the first time a day ago. I live in the NW suburbs of Chicago and we had 4 to 6 inch of snow that was wet and starting to freeze as the temperature began to fall below freezing. The 4 inches of wet slushy snow was easily remove and where ice was starting to form the blades cleaned it off the concrete surfaces. both my neighbors were out with their big heavy gas snow blower. I was done faster and with cleaner driveway and side walk. I was out for about 35 minuets and still had one green light lit on my battery.
This seems to be a good product until you stop. Have to remove battery and reinsert to start up again. I don’t know the reason for this. Battery seems to not last very long as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Bradley2561 Thank you for your review. This 80V 580 CFM Cordless Brushless Axial Blower, 2404602 is equipped with a cruise control function. Please read and understand the function of the Cruise Control. Squeeze the trigger to start the unit. Once the unit is on, push back the lever clockwise to increase the speed. This will lock the speed at the desired setting. To decrease the speed, push the lever counter clockwise to decrease the speed to the desired setting. Please note, if you decrease the speed all the way, the unit will shut off and step one will need to be repeated. Hoping this was maybe a misstep and will be able to correct with these instructions. If you have any questions or an unresolved issue after going through this troubleshooting guide, or just want to speak to a Greenworks product expert, please contact our Greenworks customer service department at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.
I purchased this to prevent from pulling a muscle that affects my arm. Using the backpack prevents the strain. Because I have a lot of leaves to deal with it is better to rake first then use the blower to have longer battery use. Recently ordered the attachment for gutters. Hope it does well.
I love this, light enough for me, a female, to use. Easy to start, blows wet leaves and debris easy. The battery lasts long enough to finish job. I do have a back up battery. I also bought the mower. I love both products and highly recommend them. No gas, fumes, environmentally friendly.
I was hoping for more power. Its okay for blowing grass off a sidewalk, but don't expect to blow a damp leaf pile

Hello Benji78 Sorry to hear the 80V 580 CFM brushless backpack blower has not met your needs. With up to 580 CFM at 145 MPH the 80V 580 CFM brushless backpack blower makes blowing through dry or wet leaves and debris a breeze. The variable speed trigger and cruise control allow you to choose and maintain the speed you want. To engage the cruise control lever, pull backwards on the cruise control lever to engage and lock the trigger. Push forward on the cruise control lever to release and disengage the trigger. To use the turbo button, press the turbo button to boost the speed. Release the turbo button to make the blower run at the normal speed. We would be happy to further discuss the functions of the blower just give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
