The blade is flimsy rubber and plastic housing has a gap where snow and ice collect causing the blade to jam. Terrible design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello JGifford. Thank you for sharing your experience with the 80V 20" snow blower. The auger on this model is constructed from polyethylene plastic, which is lightweight yet designed to be durable. We understand that in certain snow conditions, snow and ice can accumulate inside the housing and lead to jamming. To help minimize buildup, apply a non-stick spray to the auger and chute before each use, and adjust your clearing speed to match the density and moisture level of the snow. These steps can reduce sticking and improve overall performance. Your feedback on the design is appreciated and will be shared with our product team for further review. If the snow blower continues to jam or operate below expectations, our support team is available to assist with troubleshooting or service options. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat with an Expert” in the bottom corner of your screen, Chat with a Live Agent or by calling 1-888-909-6757. So, our experts can discuss your experience please have your unit, battery and charger with you along with the model and serial number to complete troubleshooting to ensure quick resolution is provided.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This snow blower is great was very surprised how good it works. Now I'm looking at other tools they have available. Snow blower was a combo that came with a 12" shovel i didn't like the shovel it was to heavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, tested it with some light snow and it did great, it will save me so much time during this winter season
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weighs less than my old gas one. Like the lights for night removal. Plenty of power to do my whole driveway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first greenworks battery machine and it has some serious power! I'm super impressed on how light weight it is and very easy to use for a lady 😉
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used for first time on about 4-5" snowfall. Snow was light and the blower worked well. Road had been plowed so bottom of driveway was heavier and chunky, but took a shovel and chopped that area to loosen the snow, and then the blower went through fine. Low noise. I had a larger 80V battery from another Greenworks product, and was able to finish whole drive but had to switch out batteries to do the bottom of drive. This certainly beats the huge gas powered beast of a blower we've had for years. Good timing since hubby just had shoulder surgery, so I can do this as it is very light weight and easy to maneuver. It was fun!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought in the spring and just tried it out this fall. Absolutely love it! It’s lightweight yet really cleans the driveway. Battery lasted cleat 3-stall driveway, sidewalk and a small area of the patio. No fuel to deal with, no cords or electric start.. plug the battery in, turn it on and away you go. Operating the chute was easy too. This is coming from a 70+ yr old woman who is still clearing her own driveway and walks in the north country.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
