[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this because our gas blower is such a pain to start. I use it for light snow removal and cleaning off vehicles. Also great for leaf blowing and general yard cleanup.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, easy to put together and did a quick test and it is powerful! pumped about the lawn season!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is ok for light snow. The problem is the scrapper bar is plastic and not very durable. Eventually it starts to chip and crack, which causes it to catch on any imperfections in your driveway surface. Also be aware, even if you replace the skid bar, you will likely have to replace the skid plates, which are also plastic and wear down, eventually causing damage to your new scrapper bar. Make sure you get both, but good luck finding them in stock.The real problem is in trying to navigate the site to order replacement parts. Not very user friendly.
Pros: Convenient, Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Gadman. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns. Depending on usage and snow conditions, you should typically replace your snowblower blade every few seasons; for most homeowners, this means replacing it once a year, especially if you encounter a lot of heavy or wet snow that can cause faster wear and tear. Our blades are made of is polyethylene which is a durable material that's resistant to wear and tear and can last a long time under normal use. We are sorry to hear you has some difficulties navigating through our website, we appreciate hearing from consumers like you and will take your comments into consideration as we work to improve the user experience and helps users find what they're looking for quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this snow blower for about 3 years. I really didn't get to break it in until this year. We have had some heavy snow here in Michigan in the past two months. I also did three driveways in one day each being over 30 feet long and about 12 ft wide. The blower does really well with lightly packed snow (up to 4"), if the snow is heavier and wet it may get stuck in the chute, just pulling it out clears it up.
Feedback: If the guards were able to be adjusted up/down that would be best, it does get stuck on cracks and lines if the ground is uneven.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this snow blower now for 2 winters and have been so disappointed. It barely works with any kind of snow. If its fluffy snow if doesn't do much, if its wet it gets clogged, if the snow height is higher then half the blades its useless. Only way to use it is in a back and forth movement and then going back over the same spot over an over again. And then it might start working and a part will fall off...
Also, the outer box part that runs against the ground gets caught on the slightest ground change which sucks cause you want to keep up momentum which is already hard and then the thing just gets caught on the driveway.
I wish I could trade it in.
I own many Greenworks products and this is the biggest regret I have buying this one. Maybe a larger one would be better but is it worth the gamble I don't think so. Perhaps look at a larger model... idk.
Just know if you live in the Northeast US that gets lots of different snow, this will let you down.

Hello drocksasaurus.
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. It is regrettable to read that you are not overly satisfied with this product. Greenworks Pro 80V platform is ideal for medium - heavy duty work. The distances at which snow is thrown is dependent on the type of snow or the chute deflector angle. Try adjusting the chute deflector angle, position the deflector to optimize throwing distance. We have a video that helps explaining how to adjust the throw distance. You can check it out here: (https://youtu.be/-DWHlyw6g0c). If dealing with wet / heavy snow, feed smaller amounts into the auger. Uneven surfaces might also impact the throwing distance, so be mindful of your path. We hope the above information has been helpful. We do not have a trade-in program. We appreciate this suggestion and will pass it along. If you need further assistance, please start a Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We are here to help.
