[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is quite a powerful blower, be aware this is significant push back from the blower when running.
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.

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.
