How long the battery last? How much you clearing?

According to the manual the 28" unit comes with a set of dual function skid shoes: Plastic side for more delicate surfaces and Steel side for gravel and less delicate surfaces. Nice thinking EGO even though I would still prefer using the ARMORSkids used on the SNT2400 on the new unit.

I was excited to see the changes and many options this year when I was at the local store buying christmas lights. Failed to notice the bigger wheels, hand warmer, and the electric swivel on the 28". No regrets on buying last year as so far (Nov 26) we haven't had a snowfall in Manitoba worth using it on. The central wand on the 24" and the generally more rugged build was impressive enough and the throttles are more clicky (my only complaint on last year's). Bought mine last year because I couldn't find one in Feb/March 2022 and there was no way I was going through a second winter of that amount of snow. This year looks like it will continue to be a little lighter.

I got the ego snowblower back in dec 2020 when I first saw them in stock locally. Love it but now I want this 28”!!

Wow, that 28" size sounds awesome. Like an aircraft getting ready to take off. I hope you get lots of snow so we can see how it throws it.

And a lot less whining & quieter noise than the High pitch noise 24 inch snow blower in ECO mode (not EGO mode!🤣)... just what I need after the snowplow comes after 1:00AM while all the other neighbours will have to wait until the 3 foot snow pile freeze overnight until next morning 6:00AM to start their gas snow blower... when I will be 😴😴😴 like a Bat-ray!

Great review side by side. I think I will be going with the 24 inch. Although the 28 inch seems to have a lot more snow capacity. Hope to see you use it in the snow. Keep the jokes flying !

Had a large Toro gas snow blower that had that kind of left-right turning ability. It was awesome doing a curved sidewalk. And if I remember right you could do the same in reverse.

Awesome, thx for posting. If I can get the GEN2 28” tool only, it’s a done deal as I have tons of EGO batteries.

Thank you so much for making this first unboxing video I have been waiting for and now going to cleaning up my SNT2406 for sale TODAY!!! Based on the current unpredictable weather pattern on unusual thunderstorms popping out of nowhere even when the weather APPs are showing clear sky, I am going to upgrade to the SNT2807 even though I would prefer a SNT2807-4 or a 3-Stage Snowblower. Last few years we had dry summer with water ban and cold dryer winter in my area; however, considering the amount of rain this year and averagely 1 inch of rain is equivalent to about 10 inches of snowfall I am going to prepare myself ahead of time. I usually run the current unit on ECO mode only and the 28" definitely sounds a lot quieter on the ECO mode. When it comes to heavy snow/wet snow my shoulders & back usually gets tens up when trying to turn the heavy snow build up chute and the main unit itself so the investment on the electronic chute and turning assistance will save me the traveling frequency, time & money to visit the chiropractor and the message treatment during winter season. The extra weight and ground clearance on the 28" unit will be a very welcome addition to keep the unit down with less front lifting when eating through the heavy thick and tall snow pile I usually get as my house is the first house on a long curb for the snowplow to dump the first load of snow buildup from the curb. Great video and thank you!👍

1 Stage handled last winter fine for me, snow up to 6 inches except the one day we had 5 inches of wet stuff was a struggle and went through the batteries much quicker. Main issue is that the 1 Stage can clog easier and it doesn't have the tire motors so you have to manually push it through which can be rough depending on snow fall. For a medium size driveway and sidewalk where you don't expect more than 8 inches or so it does fine. I had the version with the metal auger and twin 5 amp hour batteries.

IMHO I have seen these EGO units (and the Toro Electrics as well) and the one thing I notice is that they are light weight with tons of torque (due to electric power). The result is that the machine gets tossed about quite easy and I see this in the review videos when streamers hit heavy snow (such as what is typically left at the end of someone's driveway). I do find it is important to have that weight when using big power as the unit will plane quite easily up or side to side and the result is a wrestling match.

Oh man, I wish the 28" was out last year when I bought the Ego 24".

I just pickup the 28". Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I'm ready!

Are the chutes metal? Up in Alberta, we get a few -40 days (C? F? that's where they merge... dang cold!)... plastic chutes on snowblowers have a way of cracking apart in that weather. Looks neat though. They will probably work good

man, I wish I'd waited a year and get the 28 inch model and that new handle controlling the chute. it's so much smoother.

I have a snow blow business in Phoenix, AZ.

@@mikeworkman1759 I got the 28” Eco. It’s working out ok. Very convenient and easy to use but battery life depends on several factors. For example that wet heavy snow we had a few weeks ago really ate up the battery. But an average snow works fine. Not sure how it will handle a heavy load from the snow plow given the fact the Eco is lighter weight than my Ariens but I think it will be fine. I suspect you usually get less snow than those of us along the lake shore. I’m comfortable the battery will last for me to do the entire drive and that was my concern. I have thought about the fact I won’t be able to recharge the batteries if I lose electricity so that’s something you might want to factor in.

Great presentation, Check the ejection impeller to see if it's metal also. Hopefully it is. Heated grips are an excellent feature. I've used my gas one without gloves in -20 deg F and my hands never got cold at all. They will definitely cost you some battery time though. Anything that makes heat or cold uses up a lot of power compared to motors. Good luck with your new toys. I wonder if the auger spins faster with two batteries. I thought I heard you say that you were only using one so far. I don't know if either of these would do it for me since I'm on a mountain in New England near Canada. I get 3 ft snowstorms often. This is probably the brand I would choose though. Unless they change their name to Cyberdyne, lol

Both auger and the impeller are metal. Gas snow blower does product good amount of heat and also heavier that requires more physical strength so the operator may not get cold. In the EV car world where the wheel fenders and headlights freezes up due to lack of heat from the engine to melt them same would apply to an EV snow blower. I tried 5 pairs of Amazon "waterproof" heated gloves with my EGO 24" snow blower and failed. The only pair that works but required constant recharge was from Costco that costed $200.00 so I rather put the $200.00 towards the snow blower. Since most heated glove uses 27.5Wh for one hours operation, a set of 12.0Ah would provide 1,344Wh so it may not effect too much runtime and without the need of recharging the gloves.

Just can't see how all the (very cool) hand warmer buttons, light buttons and shoot handle will not have issues. Plastic side skids seem ridiculous (why would they do that). Plastic and real cold weather simply don't (won't) coexist. Heard compartment for batteries closes with just magnets? If true, nuts.

I agree with you about the motorized chute control and for that reason I'd go with the 24 inch. The motorized chute seems unnecessary and IMHO more of a toy. That said, I've had two Ariens, years ago an 8 HP and whatever their current 30" is and the design of those chutes are terrible. I live in WI where Ariens is based and though they're pretty rugged I've always thought their equipment looked like something fabricated from parts from Ace hardware. A plus in that's it's easy to fix and keep working but many times not the best design for its intended use. The skids are intended to be sacrificial and if that's a concern I believe there are aftermarket skids you can buy made of steel. The inner fenders on most vehicles as well as underbody pans and deflectors (even some oil pans) have been made of plastic for years so that's actually a plus in my view. Engineered plastics can be just as good and sometimes better in many applications than metal. As for the battery compartment, from what I've seen on another video it's designed for ingress of water and snow. I believe there are wells with drains below each battery and the design protects and keeps the contacts dry so not something that's a concern for me. Frankly, I'm fed up with my current Ariens 30" blower. It's a beast to maneuver, doesn't throw wet heavy snow that far and I'm done with oil changes, spark plug changes, fuel stabilizers and carburetor tuneups. I'm just trying to decide if I really need the 24" or if I can get by with the single stage EGO.

Really want one of these. Problem is i have a steep slope to my driveway, and i hear these things freewheel when going downhill. Unfortunately, i may be shopping for a tracked Honda instead.

I think we could be friends... hahah I'm looking at the new 24" for myself for my first snow blower, thank you for your time making this video! We get excited about the same geeky things. :D Those things sound like a jetliner powering up! What do I like? I already have Ego. What do I not like? My two batteries are both only the 5Ah so I don't know if I need to buy the kit with the two 10Ah batteries. I have a 3 car garage but the driveway isn't too long but it's very steep. I'm afraid this thing will just want to run away from me when I go down the driveway.

Batteries are to be installed in the gray cabinet at the back of the snow blower which is about 6" from the ground and has drain holes inside the cabinet incase the snow gets in during battery swap.

When they make them remote control i would buy one. 😊

Neighbors looking at you in flip flops and a cutoff snowblowing your driveway in August.... 👁👄👁

I work for a Ego warranty repair shop and I will say their constantly blowing up i do 4-5 ego products a day . Make sure you register it and your batteries so you have a valid warranty

just wondering which part usually blowing up and how often does the 2-stage snow blower shows up for repair?

@Bassin07Si

Typically it's the control boards/ battery management system that fail. I have repaired many 2 stage snow blowers and it is a real pain to do that job. The more it snows the more that blow. Since spring it's been nothing but Lm2100sp, 2130sp, 2150sp mowers, dead self propelled or won't power up. I normally do 10-15 ego products a week

I’m here in Florida. We don’t have snowblowers. We have sand blowers.

they have a single lol

I had a to strophic failure with my 24". The impeller shaft only turns about half way then totally jams. Im guessing the transmission has failed. Ive been on the phone for over a week with non technical idiots. They are trying to void the warranty because I took the impeller assembly off. Had to escalate the case two times and now they want me to drive it 3 hours to a repair center. Im thinking about just parting it out on Ebay. Just ordered the green works from Costco. Comes with 3 batteries and at least Costco will stand by it. I've seen bad reviews on the green works brand too though.

There seem to be many negative comments on the lack of EGO support.

I havent bought into a lawn system yet. Is ego still the best future bet?

Ego is awesome.

I am a little confused, what's new about these? These as far as I know have been out for awhile. I saw a review of these made in Jan 2021 on "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" channel. You might want to give it a look, he actually uses it after heavy winter storm. It looks like about same size driveway+/- you have. Definitely would not work for me based on what he shows, my driveway about 3x his.

Not directly related but Dewalt finally has 60V lawn mower!!! Please cover that.

They coming with that top price too tho... Still want one :)

I’m ordering the 28 when it comes in Sept.

any idea what the 28" box dimensions are? I'm wondering if the box will fit in the back of the wife's new VW Tiguan

I look forward to the day of a riding snowblower.

I'm really hoping it works well against wet, heavy snow.

It worked way batter than the EGO single stage unit and for what I have read as good as any 2-stage gas snow blowers. I have no issues with it for the past 2 years and will replace the 24" with the 28" for sure.

If the battery said Hemi on it, I’d have to get me one.

Just barely got the 24 model into my Highlander which I believe has a little more cargo capacity than the Tiguan, so I assume the 28 box will be a bit bigger. Hope that helps.

So where did the piece of rubber go?

Cool tool but how long does it last on a cold day.

The current 24" model would allow me to finish 5 x 4 car driveways plus all their sidewalks with 6" snow in 5 F temperature.

How do get around the temperature limits? Ego batteries don't work below 5C. As I found cutting wood last winter

@ToolReviewZone

Say what now? I believe that 41F here and that is well about the working limit. Seems like there may be some other issue there

I was blowing snow in -25C/-13F with windshield of -35C/-31F many times in the past three years without any issue. It's the warmer wet snow storm that causes more efforts in the beginning and the end of winter.

To be honest I've had nothing but issues with Ego. I have their chain saw and string trimmer. The batteries overheat very easily which means I only ever got 15 minutes of continuous runtime out of it. Looking up on their riding lawnmower (similar battery setup to this it looks like), they get max 45 minutes of runtime. More time to charge than run and the overheating battery issue just makes it not viable for anything I've ever needed to do. For the amount of money these cost I expected better. When they run they are great, but they never run long enough.

what about Toros 60v 2 stage snow blwoers?

Does anyone know if the impellers on these are metal or plastic?

Why does the nrw 24 inch have horrible cable management compared to the 28 inch and even the previous model looked cleaner?

The evil twin would have come in handy.

Does the company offer battery replacement if it ever goes bad?

Yes

What would hold me back is the battery life time. Not the run time. If you only use it during the winter months only. I highly doubt these batteries will last you 5 years.

How much snow do you get in the winter for TWO snow blowers????
