Is just the shovel/ tool sold separately? My 80 V trimmer is an outstanding addition to my landscaping tools, I can start early due to its low decibels. I have used my friends snow shovel, and it exceeds the products description.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Haven't had a chance to use it yet in snow (got it a month ago) but I hope it's worth the wait. I think it will make my early morning winter chores go by a heck of a lot faster. A little heavy, but if it eases the burden of shoveling on my back that's a good thing.
Was skeptical of this little blower. I have a 1,000 square foot deck that is only accessible by 35 steps. I was using a gas powered 2 stage blower (120 lbs) and lugging it up and down the stairs. Being mostly plastic, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was wrong. I took on 3+ feet of Sierra Snow and it held its own. I did a “layer” (12” down from the top) at a time and was shocked at how quickly the deck was cleared.
It is heavier than a shovel, not an issue if snow is less than 10-12” as it can just slide of the surface being cleared. Deeper snow requires lifting (essentially same as a big transfer shovel). Tried it on the berm from the plows and it just chopped right through. Defiantly recommend a 2nd battery for large areas. Keep an eye out where it’s blowing, as it reliably throws 20-30 feet with no issue.
I've only used this on a fairly light snow so far, but that was why I got it. I have a nice big gas snow blower for the big storms, but I bought this when I need more than a shovel and less than a behemoth. It worked great. It doesn't seem to have problems throwing the snow.
It is a little bit heavy, and the moveable handle really wont move up far enough to help much. I'm thinking of getting a trimmer harness or putting a shoulder strap of some kind on it to help out a little bit.
The only other thing I worry about is how long the plastic will last. The impeller hit a small piece of the sidewalk and wore down a bit. No big deal. After 1 use, it seems ok. There is a plastic plate/scraper on the bottom that seems built to wear out and be replaced. That isn't an issue, but I don't see the replacement part anywhere (or a replacement impeller).
Basically, this is a great little machine for the cost of 4+ snow shovels!
Very powerful. I’ve only gotten to try it out once, on about an inch of slushy snow, but it got right after it. Only wish is that it had side deflectors to keep the snow away from cars parked next to the sidewalk. Guess it takes some technique to aim it better. And be careful when you hit a piece of ice, it will launch it.
