As others have mentioned, this is a fairly easily broken part I have replaced mine three times in the three seasons I’ve owned it. I had zero issues the first season but after the second snow of 2024, I noticed the blower catching on the seams and cracks in my driveway and sidewalks. After catching a crack rather hard, the scrapper shattered and rendered my blower useless. I bought two replacements and quickly destroyed them as well. It was at this point I realized that the two sliders on the front were completely worn down and allowing the scrapper to fully rest on the ground and catch every crack and seam, completely destroying it in just a few uses. The original front two sliders on my 2023 80v 22in blower were not adjustable and I didn’t realize they had worn down so quickly. It is my understanding that Greenworks has an updated design with elongated mounting slots to make them adjustable and allow for more usable life from the front two sliders. There is also a strong makers community if you do 3D printing. After replacing my front slides and keeping them adjusted correctly to maintain a slight clearance for the scrapper above the ground, I like mine at about 3mm or 1/8in off the ground, I haven’t had any issues destroying the scraper. Every snow blower I’ve owned has had these front adjustable sliders but usually made from steel that would leave scratches on my concrete and were really noisy. Just check your front slider adjustment at the beginning of the season and once or twice during and maintain a slight clearance above the ground for the scrapper and they last. Things wear out and our equipment requires routine maintenance and adjustment so keep that in mind
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure of it’s operation as I have not needed to use it yet but the printed instructions have a lot to be desired. Text is too small, instructions need to be more clear, diagrams/illustrations need to be larger and in more detail. You’re better off looking on YouTube for assembly instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Greenworks is all in on electric yard tools and so am I. This is my 4th greenworks tool & I couldn't be happier. I was already sold on these tools but then I ran into a glitch that I caused myself by wearing a hooded sweaetshirt with hanging strings. One of the strings was sucked inside of the unit. It had a metal end & broke a fan blade off. So next I learned how commited greenworks are to their warranty. I dont believe I've ever worked with a more professional & caring company! If your considering a cordless electric tool you should give them a shot.
This review concerns the enclosed assembly instructions, not the snowblower itself. The instruction manual has a lot to be desired. Several improvements need to be made to the printed instructions, namely the size of the text and diagrams/illustrations need to be larger and in more detail. You're better off looking for assembly instructions on YouTube. I haven't the need to use the snowblower yet so I can not make a review on it's operation. Hopefully, it lives up to the advertising hype.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this mower all last season and it worked great for me cutting not only my house, but my neighbor’s as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked very well for MN winter on fresh snow up to 8 inches. Clears 3 car driveway on single battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very strong light weight also very quiet now if I could just keep it charged long enough to get some work done
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two years ago, our family purchased this snow blower as we live in the Boston area and are responsible for keeping the sidewalks clear for folks walking by our property in the city. It is an easy snow blower for us senior citizens and in fact, its so easy to operate. We highly recommend this Greenworks Product!
