Great little snowblower

Love that this snowblower came with two batteries, this is our backup snow blower and to be used on our deck. Being in MN we do get the snow, and already had to use it, and it worked great. So impress with it, that we plan to buy a lawn mower this spring.
The blower runs great and is very high powered, as much as a gas blower. BUT, and this is the killer, the battery will ONLY last for maybe 20 minutes. I have two 80v batteries and when used with the lawn mower I can get an hour of mowing from each. One of the straps for the backpack is fraying already, and I have used this blower less than 10 times! Unless you have more than 3 batteries to tackle any big job forget it. This blower is not worth the purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello jmatthews6400,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this blower. To extend your run time, try using it on a lower speed when high speed is not a requirement. As this unit does draw quite a bit of power on high, however, the run time can be extended by using it at a lower speed. We would like to address the issue of the strap when you are with the tool please submit an email to Greenworks using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757.
I’ve had this for a few years now and love it more every day. We have a gravel path that gets a lot of leaves on it and setting the blower to low allows me to clear the path without disturbing the stones. And on high it clears the yard quickly. It also recharges in about half and a hour which lets me get my chores done in no time! Highly recommended!
We purchased this about a month ago and have used it every day. This is a fantastic blower. It’s not too heavy to carry and does a great job blowing leaves and other debris off of the patio and driveway.
This was a fantastic investment. I was tired of pulling out all of the extension cords, but afraid that a cordless wouldn’t be powerful enough to do the job. I was wrong. This unit is more powerful. It does use up the battery more quickly than my trimmer or chainsaw, but having 3 interchangeable batteries, I don’t need to worry about it.
I absolutely loved this snowblower for the first 3 years, then it developed an intermittent electrical problem that nobody seemed able to fix. I have no Greenworks repair facility near me, but did bring it to a lawn mower/equipment repair shop. While it was there it worked just fine. As soon as I brought it home nothing I could do would get it started. I believe there may be a loose connection. If I can get it started, it will conk out in a short time. I have 2 batteries, one is new and I keep the charger and batteries in my house. It makes me sad to report this since I have 2 Greenworks lawn mowers and a Greenworks string trimmer...all wonderful tools. It seems I have to purchase and new snow blower. I want to be sure this won't happen again.
