The first snow blower I ever bought and used for first time today
on December 31, 2021
Posted by: Robert From Utah

I bought a 80v mower earlier this Fall, with two 5amh batteries, but came too late for use. I like battery devices and that will replace my old 36v (with the old Nicd style battery the size of a car battery) made by another company that was struggling. While I wait for Spring, it started snowing here in Utah, and I got to thinking that given the batteries are interchangeable, maybe I should get an 80v snow blower too and use the batteries with it. The "tool only" was sold out, so I bought the 20" one that comes with the 2amh battery. Means an extra charger and more batteries than I probably will ever need at once, but too much is better than too little. The battery charger was a bit intimidating...as it hums loudly and reminds me of my portable tire inflater that always overheats after about 3 min. Charged all batteries just fine (though being the paranoid type I stayed close by). Charge is pretty quick, under 30min per battery. I decided to give the 2amh battery first go, just to see what it can do. My shoveling area comprised of a two car driveway of about 50ft, a sidewalk to the house from driveway of 20ft, about 20ft public sidewalk to the West, and a long public sidewalk that runs about 100 ft to East and another 120ft along the East side (we have corner lot). The 2amh battery could not do it all, but did pretty well. Snow was about 5". It completed the whole driveway, the 20ft West sidewalk and the 20ft to house sidewalk. It then gave me a scare as machine it kept dying when I started the longer sidewalk (but appears that was when battery became too weak (still can muster to keep headlights going but just too weak for the snow). Swapped out the battery with a 5amh that easily cleared the remaining sidewalks with 2 bars remaining on power. My recommendation to anyone is to buy the 5amh battery whether or not you have as much to shovel as I do. 2amh can handle a decent amount, but if snow was deep or ongoing, it would be nice to have the extra life of the 5amh, and if one battery dies mid-shovel (or completely goes dead mid-season) it is always good to have a second battery ready at hand (so why not have that extra be powerful). Also, probably best to have 5amh (maybe two) if you are in snow intensive region where you have to shovel a lot of deep or ongoing snow. While I love the new snow blower, it does have a couple short-comings. Supposed to shoot snow 20ft, and maybe it did for a few minutes, but 12-15ft seems more consistent (depth/concentration of snow could be a variable...might shoot farther the less it is attempting to transfer at once). Also seemed to struggle with the heavy, icy muck the city trucks dump at the edge of the road, but that is heavy and crusty and likely has sand/salt and other crap in it other than snow. I was able to shovel that last in seconds manually - so no big deal. Snow blower did such a good job with the rest, I can clear the little bit at the road with a shovel and still call it a win. I'd still like a less intimidating charger (even if it is a slower trickle charger that uses USB) that I can feel more comfortable leaving to charge when I'm not there. Overall, glad I bought it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello hermit on by a creek,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are concerned to read that you are feeling let down by this snow blower's auger. Most Greenworks impellers are plastic; the material is polyethylene plastic, which is light and quite durable. With the exception on Greenworks 80V 22” –22” has metal/rubber assembly, dual stage has full metal. If you wish to discuss products with our team directly, do not hesitate to reach out at info@greenworkstools.com or through our helpline at 1-888-909-6757.

Weak and battery drains in 5 min

I leave in southeast PA where we get a lot of wet snow - if any. I bought this last year in the fall to prepare for winter. My driveway is about 100' long and 10' wide and I thought this could handle it. First snow was 5" and this blower failed the test miserably. The 4ah battery drained in about 5 min of use and about 30 linear feet. Pushing this thing through the snow was like plowing a farm field by hand - it was a lot of work. Charging the battery takes about 40 min once you include the 15 min cool-down time they don't tell you about. Needless to say it was not going to work so I gave up and hired a plow guy for the rest of the winter. Cost me less than buying an extra battery (or the 6 I would need). I would also include that I have many Greenworks products - 40 volt line and power tools. This one is just terrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Mily,
Only common issue we hear of for initial startups are as follows: Press and hold in on the switch round safety lock out button, while continuing to push it in pull back on the bale. Hoping this was maybe a misstep and will be able to correct with these instructions. If the issue does not resolve, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com. We are here to help.

I bought this a month ago and love it. I no longer have to deal with gasoline which is dangerous and can get old. My old gas powered machine broke and I bought this new one. I like the amount of time that is available on the big battery.
I would recommend this to a friend!
