A little light and a little fast
on December 12, 2023
Posted by: MJB-Alaska
from Anchorage Alaska
Gender:Male
I am happy with the purchase thus far but weight wise even with three batteries in place the unit is a little light. When going up against heavy snow the wheels just spin and I have to exert more manual labor to try an push through the load. The other issue I have is the speed of the unit. My gas powered was able to have a really low gear setting. This unit running even in its lowest setting (eco-mode) likes to run away. Other than this unit, I have a 60v Mower, and an 80v Mower, weed eater, blower, and a chainsaw. All of which I am very happy with.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Quiet, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello MJB-Alaska,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and your ongoing support. We are pleased to hear you are happy with your purchase! The self-propelled drive speed control switch, allows operators to select a comfortable driving speed. The unit give three (3) forward speeds and one (1) backward self-propelled and one (1) neutral. When you push the self-propelled drive paddle and
the auger engagement paddle at the same time, the auger engagement paddle will be temporarily locked.
When the pushing resistance of the whole machine becomes large or cannot be pushed, the user needs to check whether the unilateral wheel can be turned by hand when it is off the ground. If it can't be rotated easily, you need to disassemble the chassis bottom plate and unplug the motor cable. Manual promotion can be resumed at this time. Release the auger engagement paddle (right hand) and the auger engagement paddle will remain engaged. This feature allows you to adjust the auger speed, self propelling speed, and discharging direction of the snow while the auger rotates.
To stop the auger, release the self-propelled drive paddle and both the auger and the self-propel function will stop. (This information can also be found in the owner's manual.)
We hope these suggestions help. Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.

weak and clusmy
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: drminutah
from Highland Utah
Gender:Male
Fairly poor overall. Description - "Throws snow up to 20 feet." Better described as gauranteed snow will not go further than 20 feet. Typically the snow only goes 5 to 6 feet and this is light Utah powder - not sure what anyone with wet snow would get? 3 feet? The snow chute clogs regularly I had to stop to clear it out several times just doing my driveway. The base is quite clunky - lots of friction trying to push it across the driveway. With some practice I can almost get it to balance between too much friction against ground and lifting front too high up so it leaves a layer of snow on the drive but is able to move. Compared to my neighbors 35 year old gas powered snow blower (which works flawlessly - this is clunky and poor). This is my second snow season and I figured this year I should get my own snow blower - this isn't the one to get. I bought into the Greenworks tools and have 4 or 5 batteries now. I wanted the 22" snowblower but that is only available with more batteries, so I settled for this one -tool only.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello drminutah,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that you are not completely satisfied with this product. Depending on the type of snow, the discharge range will vary. This snow thrower can discharge up to 20' but this would be with light and fluffy snow. If the snow is wet, heavy, packed, or icy the discharge range will reduce significantly. When using any snow thrower on wet snow, there is a chance of clogging. Often, the reason for this is that the speed of the impeller causes wet snow/slush to freeze. For best use in heavy snow types, you will want to move less at once and move a little quicker. Once a full pass has been completed, only move about a third of the width of the unit with each pass going forward. This will help with the load acting against the unit and should hopefully assist in a more enjoyable user experience. Believe it or not, your chute can clog from simply not moving fast enough. As you move faster, the impeller pushes snow out with more force, hopefully throwing in further. It also helps to keep a tool nearby that can be used to poke the ice/snow down when it gets clogged. Never put a tool in while the unit is running and make sure the impeller has completely stopped moving first. If you find that you are still experiencing an issue, please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.

Great leaf blower
on November 24, 2023
Posted by: Marie Ann
from Ohio
Gender:Female
This is a great leaf blower. I’m 75 yrs. old and I needed something that would work without having to rake leaves and light enough to operate. This is it! The only thing is I wish the battery lasted longer since I have a large backyard. I have a small 40V leaf blower and an 80V lawnmower by Greenworks and all perform well.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great snow blower
on November 18, 2023
Posted by: Dave2023
from Painesville
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great in all types of snow and will go through 10” depth. The only downside are the parts. There are two wear pads on the front. In my opinion they’re replaceable because they are wear pads. They tell me they are not replaceable. They gave me part numbers . But I can’t get them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great for several seasons now.
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Bob_B
Gender:Male
I’ve owned this for a few seasons now. It has held up well and performed great.
I was reluctant at first thinking that it was a plastic toy, but I was proven wrong. I use this snow blower for most of the snowfalls. My other big 10hp gas blower is only brought out for the biggest of blizzards.
It is quiet for those early morning runs. The 2-amp hr battery is good enough for two driveways and the side walks. It charges full in the time that it takes me to clean off the cars and move them into the street. I can do a final pass to make it perfect.
I recommend.

The best snowblower I've owned in 50 years
on October 7, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
from Albany New York
Gender:Male
This replaced a 30 yr old Ariens 8 hp. I remember when the Ariens was new and this outperformed it. It is about 1/2 the weight of the old beast. The handles are also a couple inches higher, which for me, at 6'1" is a huge plus. I used it several times last spring and threw a lot of heavy, wet snow-- and threw it farther than the old machine ever did.
The only negative is, because it is so light,, the traction isn't quite what the old beast had-- but that is a small price to pay for the super convenience of this machine.
I have a 200' driveway and a turnaround spot and one set of batteries will clear 6" of wet snow- the end of driveway from a plow- and 2 cars wide the length of the driveway.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
