Purchased online to clear smaller (3-6") snow fall amounts. Very pleased with performance. Battery lasted longer than expected. I do have a backup from a Greenworks leaf blower. Only disappointment was it did not throw snow as far as I expected on single car driveway. Overall, it is light weight, easy to handle and no gasoline. I am thrilled I can keep this snow blower inside the house (basement) because of battery.
So far so good. Used it once with a 4 inch wet snow. Lightweight and easy to handle. Easy start up and stop and repeat. I have too much difficulty working and handling gas powered equipment. Bought this because of the success I have had with my Greenworks 60 volt lawn mower. Will update if my experience changes.
I was able to use the snowblower the first time few weeks back even we got about 6-8 inches of wet snow. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance. It cleared all the snow about 3-4 inches on my driveway with ease, and was able to complete in about 8 minutes. The sidewalks however had about 6-8 inches or more. The machine bogged down as soon as I pushed the blower close to the ground and shut off. I later figured out that slightly lifting it without pushing it down all the way to the ground, solves that problem, but now I have to do the same path about 2 times to completely clear the snow. Overall the battery lasted better than expected. After I was done, I still had about half charge left. The other disappointment was the hitch pin that holds the chute control shaft to the handle , is of low quality. It opened up and flew out as I was trying to turn the chute.
Does the job perfectly for my small yard: I run both my Greenworks weed trimmer and my leaf blower off a common 2.0 AH battery and there's ample power for my purposes. You'll probably want a larger capacity battery or multiple batteries if you have a big yard and multiple Greenworks tools, but this is a good tool for a small yard. It's light, easy to maneuver, and I really like the lower flow and high flow settings for better control.
Excellent little snow blower! Super light and handles heavy, wet snow as well as powder... very happy with overall performance. I’m actually kind of excited when it snows now!
Make sure you get a battery. They are all SOLD OUT and shipping takes forever.
