I have been a fan of Ego since they hit the market! I have the mower, string trimmer, blower, edger, hedge trimmer, and now the snow blower. Their products are amazing and backed by an insanely good warranty. The loss of power compared to gas is negligible. I also hear that they are now getting ready to release an electric ride on mower! Buy these products with confidence people, they really perform as well as their gas counterparts.

Just got one yesterday and put it through the ringer: we had very wet, heavy snow that my gas powered thrower would have handled. The Ego did a terrific job tossing the wet snow much farther than my Toro ever did. I also have the Ego chainsaw and it has great power as well. I was also able to charge the second battery of the snowblower with the chainsaw’s charger.

I just bought one and waiting for snow!

That's pretty impressive for a battery machine 👌

A plus: It's quiet! I can move the snow before the sun comes up and the neighbors won't have cause to complain (especially when I do THEIR side walks as well). Also I can use the blower's 7.5 batteries on by EGO power "generator"...and maybe my 2.5 EGO leaf blowers? The only problem with your video: I felt like I had the chills..like I'm standing right there next to you...feeling the same cold as you are. It's now December 2019...and I'll be out and getting REAL chills very soon. I've been shoveling the last two years and the main problem I have is not being able to move the snow far enough off the drive way to keep it from eventually piling up there (after several high snow falls). The distance this blower can throw snow will end THAT problem.

Not really. This is coming from someone who.uses.their lawnmower and string trimmer. The rubber augur is crap and the front needs wheels to prop the scraping part. Mine just jammed in wet snow and I didn't even go near the pile up from road crews at the end of my driveway

looks like it could be a bad winter this year more videos ?

I understand the direction of snow discharge is adjustable but what about distance? Does it always want to throw the snow its maximum distance? Is the machine self-propelled? Both the reviews and ads are short on specifics. Which is the steel auger version?

Look like good homeowner units.

A clear problem i see with this, is that the vehicle is so light that it wont "hold its lane" while pushing it. But looks like it would handle 10" of snow pretty easily, as the person walking is moving pretty fast.

Nice video boss, Tool box buz buzz did a rview not to long ago to and he very mutch like it. He had a couple isues and one that could be important at one point. To have bigger wheels and treded wheels. I would also like to see metal spike infront of the blower to help with the plow bank. I think it would help because if you go into a plow bank and its compacted and about 10-12 inches when plowed, it's just going to stall in the bank. Maybe?

How long does the auger last for? Most single stage see it wear down and need to be replaced, in order to continue having self propelled motion.

I have one. Yes it’s good for snow that is less than 6-7 inches. Otherwise, it doesn’t have enough power to throw more than 7 inches. You have to constantly pull and push through the snow for more than 7 inches. It’s very annoying. Lucky I still have my 2 stages gas blower.

remove the snow sooner before the temp gets more than a couple degrees warmer.

I feel the need to get this machine even though it is 30 degrees C (86 F) in the beginning of summer. Who else but a guy with a new snow blower would be out in the snow with a tape measure and measuring the snow. Men love high tech tools and stuff, my women just does not understand this. What can I do?

im concerned that the battery doesnt last long and that the blades are plastic. How does it work with icy/compact snow? how long does it last on 1 battery?

We got 30 inches yesterday (st. john's NL Canada, 17 Jan, 2020). Will this help? The gas once are twice or thrice the price.

Powdery snow is easy for most throwers but the packed wet stuff is my main concern with this model, also the battery life I have an average suburban residence so not very big 2 car wide driveway 4 car long plus a sidewalk...I figured even with battery power it would last for that amount.

The reviews I've read seem to indicate this blower can handle the wet, slushy, stuff pretty well. I just bought one so I can't speak from experience. I try to keep up with the snow fall, as much as possible, so it never gets too high but if it does and becomes wet I'll probably handle it with small bights and have the tool they sell, handy, to clean it out from time to time.

How long is the expected life of the batteries before they need to be replaced? Not run time per charge but rather the total life of the battery?

Dan you must have the 530 leaf blower. I bought that one as well and returned it for that reason, 10 mins sucked. I exchanged it for the 580. What a difference, night and day. First thing I notice is there is no delay in the start. Comes with attachments, but best of all I get just about 30 mins on Turbo. Huge difference, plus it blows more. I know it's too late for you to exchange yours but I would be confident that if this blower comes with 2x5 Ah batteries that you would have at least a solid 30 mins on full power with both those batteries together and that would also take care of your leaf blower time. I know if I switch my gas blower over to electric, it will be this one. Good luck!
