Given new as a gift last year.... No snow last year in Jersey. Go figure.
Snow storm going on as I type. Expecting 8"-12" so I waited for it to reach 3" and it did a great job. Full driveway 60 feet long. I'll go out there every few hours so it does not get to hard to push
Low power. Blower sucks (pun intended). Blows (pun intended) thru batteries. Since it is smart to standardize on brand in order to maximize battery/ charger usage, I am disappointed we settled on Greenworks.

Used the 80V for the first time on 12/12/20. We received around 4 inches of heavy wet snow and this blower took it in stride and cleaned the drive way, front porch and deck in back with no hesitation. Loved it, saved my back.
My neighbor bought a bunch of Greenworks tools. I had never used cordless electric yard tools. I borrowed his 40V blower to see if blowing my Fall leaves into a pile would work better than raking. It seemed underpowered for what I had, but I saw the 80V model and bought it. USES: I've been using it for a few months now and it handles my leaves and a lot more. I now use it for 1) after lawn mowing cleanup, 2) blowing out my garage, 3) getting fall leaves into piles for bagging, 4) getting up onto my roof to blow the leaves and sludge out of my rain gutters, and 5) blowing out most of the leaves that get caught under my solar panels. The Turbo feature is especially useful for the solar panels. BATTERY USAGE AND RECHARGE TIME: At full power the charge lasts just under 30 minutes. I bought a chainsaw with another battery and charger, and now I can just about keep up charging one battery while using the other, as long as I don't use the Turbo feature. The Turbo really sucks the power and lasts only 10 minutes or so if using just the Turbo. But I've gotten a couple more batteries now, so I can go as long as I want, rotating charged batteries as needed. WEIGHT: My forearms get a tired after awhile, so I wouldn't want to use anything more than the lightest battery that comes with it.
I bought this on the recommendation of my son in law. The controls are easy to use and the force of air is excellent. I used it to blow some leaves off our deck and look to use on some of our more light snowfalls. It's everything I expected. There was on problem as the battery with the blower was not able to keep a charge (I had purchased a spare battery). The process of correcting this was handled efficiently at customer service and received the replacement recently.
