Works great in powder, difficult to use on ice

Bought this a year ago and, as luck would have it, it never snowed the rest of the season. This year, used it for the 3 car driveway and sidewalks and it was great for first day snow. The next day, when the snow hardened to ice, it required multiple times to clear. Would highly recommend ordering the plastic sweeping paddle as it will likely break on ice.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Powerful

Hello Seattle49er, thank you for taking the time to write this review to us. We are happy to hear that you were able to use your snow blower. These units are intended for use with snow/heavy snow and ice underneath can become an issue as ice is more solid/heavier than snow. We recommend that you blow as much snow as possible to clear a majority and then apply salt / de-icer to help break down some of the ice for easier clearing.
A bit of a let-down. I'd hoped this would match the power of my spare [REDACTED-CAN NOT MENTION ANY COMPETITOR] plug-in snowblower (This 80v Greenworks had maybe 1/2 of the power of [COMPETITOR] corded product). The real disappointment is a skid plate *wore out* after only two seasons of light use, causing it to "stick" to the driveway. This didn't even get much use as it's a secondary snow removal machine (primary is a normal 2-stage gas)
Pros: Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As mentioned in other reviews our scraper at the bottom broke. I use the snowblower probably 10 times per year, and just started our third season with it. It is somewhat surprising that the quality for such a part that touches ice, road and stones breaks so quickly… anyways, after calling the overseas call center the part got replaced under the warranty as we were just shy off 24 months it seems. Not sure if I would opt for this model again. It works well for fresh powder snow, gets to its limits when snow gets wetter and/or above 10 inches…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I haven't got to use this expensive snowblower yet. The assembly design and instructions are among the worst of any product I've ever purchased. I read reviews about the flawed assembly design and instructions before I purchased, but I figured I could navigate with eyes wide open. Not the case... I now need to purchase new parts and bolts due to this horrible assembly design. Greenworks customer service is non-existent. Please do not purchase this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this blower for my mother's land which is close to 2 acres. Works excellent and meets the needs for clearing the leaves and tidying everything up!! It is heavier than what I'm used to but no biggie!! The battery lasts a good 30 minutes on the highest turbo setting!! I wished it last longer!! The battery does charge fast which is approximately 24 minutes.. It is very powerful, cleaned up the yard good and made Mom happy!! This 1st time user for Green works is happy!!
I was pretty hesitant to spend this much money on a leaf blower, but I decided to pull the trigger. I'm blown away with how big of an upgrade it is. I didn't realize the the cruise control was a feature until it arrived but it is really handy to set it if you just want a low level. I haven't had to use the turbo button a whole lot, but it seems to offer a pretty good boost. Just used it last weekend to blow the leaves into a big pile. It was way faster than raking. Only negative I might add it that it gets heavy after awhile, but it does have a loop that you could get a strap for.
I was surprised how long the battery worked. It's powerful and lightweight. It did have an issue but Dmitri in customer service handled it with one phone call! Thanks! :)
