Purchased the 80V 730 CFM Cordless Battery Leaf Blower w/ 2.5Ah Battery & Rapid Charger. Have another one I have had for a couple of years and they work fantastic. Greenworks makes excellent tools. The web site photo shows a full size extended run battery in the attached photo but it comes with a less expensive standard run battery. New way to save money?? If they need to make more profit then raise the price don't lower the quality but substituting a less expensive battery. This is beneath them. I would still recommend this tool but make sure the buyer knows what battery they are getting, quite a difference in performance. I have many Greenworks products and at least 7 batteries have never seen a "standard run battery before".
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty good but some key parts need to be more durable

I've had this for 2 months now with a variety of snow storms. Most recently had over a foot of very wet snow and had to clear it a couple of times as it snowed so it wouldn't be too deep for the snowblower. It handled it pretty well, had to clear the chute several times but that's too be expected. It was challenging pushing it uphill in deep snow but still got it done. I do our drive and several neighbors so I go through multiple charges. After cooling after each use, the batteries charge quickly.
My key issue is that after two months, the scrape plate has broken and the blades are starting to shred. Not sure why the scrapeplate is plastic but in my experience, it is not durable.
I'll be returning mine.

Hello Troy5280,

We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the quality of the scrape plate and blades. These parts are considered a wearable items and normally not covered under the warranty. However, we will gladly take a closer look into this issue with you.

We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.
Sadly the top chute component is super janky, with the plastic top being too lightweight to hold in place when you seek to position it at a lower angle (and/or the plastic ridges that are supposed to hold it in place do nothing). That said, the blower itself is pretty effective and makes quick work of our driveway. Super light, fluffy, and fine snow is tricky given the poor design of the chute, but we have still been able to accomplish what we need to in terms of snow removal with a variety of snow over the past couple months.
I would recommend this to a friend!

80V 20" Cordless Battery Single-Stage Snow Blower lasted only 2 seasons before the skids and the scraper wore out. Now the blower doesn’t even run. The PCB board is probably the problem, but greenworks does not have this part available. They recommended that I look for it on google. But I can’t find anyone who has one to sell.

First time use of this snowblower. About 4 inches of snow. Not power but not particularly wet either. Blower could not handle it. Maybe this blower can handle 13 inches of powder as advertised. Remains to be seen. Init could not handle 4 inches of what I consider normal snow.

Hello Jake16,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that you are not completely satisfied with this Snow Blower. The depth at which it can clear snow will decrease as the snow gets heavier. It can clear heavier snow fall but may require additional steps such as clearing the chute and adjusting the chute to accommodate the snow. It may also require more than one passing. Lastly, it will use up more battery runtime. We would be interested in hearing more about this issue. For further discussion, 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 look forward to helping you better with any troubleshooting or warranty assistance required.
Bought the snow blower and 2 batteries in the Fall of 2022. Didn't have to use it that Winter. Used it yesterday and one of the 2 batteries I bought is "defective". Snow blower is great, but not if it can't be powered. I need 2 batteries to cover the area.
Pros: Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Effective
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello jim73,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with your batteries. The overall battery life is dependent on many factors such as where they have been stored, charged, and handled. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Greenworks lithium-ion batteries are offered with a 4-year (homeowner) limited warranty. Please contact Greenworks for a proper evaluation and to start a warranty claim. We can be reached at directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call 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.
