    So great to go electric with snow removal!

    I bought this battery-powered snow thrower because I hate breathing exhaust fumes from my gasoline-powered one. Assembly was simple, and the device is not too heavy for me to lift into my vehicle. As for usage, it's simple to operate. The handle for directing the chute is well designed. The battery charges fast, the charger is fan-cooled, and with green lights indicating a complete recharge. (See photo.) Installing the battery is simple, however, removing the battery is a little awkward lifting it out with just the fingertips. The motor noise level is much quieter than my gas powered one. I carry a 1x2 stick to clear the chute when the snow is wet and sticky. I have to be careful going over sections of broken or uneven concrete – it makes a loud bang when it hits an irregular chunk of pavement (which any snowthrower would do). However, the plastic rotor blade might chip or crack, and I'm considering purchasing a replacement rotor blade just in case it might break. Now, you do have to push this device, it is not self-propelled. And the two times I've used it so far, it left a thin layer of snow on the sidewalk, it didn't scrape all the way to the concrete. And it would be nice if the handles were slightly higher, as I am a six foot senior. But all in all, I am delighted to have gone electric with my snow removal. Just look at that styling – it's like a big toy! Be safe everyone – these machines must be respected and used with safe practices.

    It's ideal for sidewalks and small driveways, it works very well, and the battery life is decent. I would recommend it without hesitation. It's an excellent option if you don't have to remove huge amounts of snow.

    I've always shoveled the snow for four plus decades and thought numerous times about getting a snow blower - trust me. I just didn't want to spend the money on something I may only use once a year and must deal with it taking up too much room when storing it. I was a little skeptical with ordering this small single stage electric snow blower, thinking it would not be able to perform and probably just get clogged up, but I got a chance to use it yesterday with about 5 in of wet snow and was really impressed with how well it performed. The unit arrived quickly and with no box issues, and the battery arrived almost fully charged and finished charging while I put the unit together. The handles and snow chute went together quickly and easily - no tools required. Outside it performed above my expectations and easily cleared my front sidewalk, 2-car wide by 2-car length driveway, and 50’ section of the street side for our other car and mailbox area and did so without clogging. Did it throw the wet snow 20’, no, but more like 10’, which was plenty. I’m it would even perform better with dry snow. Using this snow blower instead of just using a shovel greatly reduced the time and effort it normally takes. It makes me wish I had bought it years ago, and with its smaller size, I'm not too concerned with it taking up too much room when storing it. I would definitely recommend this item.

    Light and powerful snowblower with decent battery life will do the job in many circumstances. Have easily gotten 30-40 minutes each time out of this battery in frigid temps and have never run it all the way down, plus it charges quickly. It has handled 5 inches of new snow fairly easily.

    Verrry big storm in New England these past few days close to two feet of snow. This thing is a little monster! I’m shocked at how well it performs. Unreal. I love this machine. Downsized from a gas powered toro and sooooo happy I did! I used the 4ah battery and it lasted for over an hour, then charged in under 2 hours.

    Product is (probably) fine, instructions abysmal

    Looks like a decent machine so far, although it arrived 3 weeks after I bought it (thanks a lot, Best Buy) so it is doubtful I will get to try it on any ACTUAL snow for about 10 months. I gave it 4 stars, but only because I somehow survived the assembly process. Maybe everyone else who bought this thing moonlights as an engineer, but I found the instructions less clear than your average cave drawing scribbles. They were clearly designed by someone sadistic going through a bad breakup. There are, what, five parts? And yet, labeling them (either on the instructions or on the parts themselves) was apparently too much to ask. Explaining anything? Also a no. A helpful video? Dream on. The “instructions” consist of cryptic, picture-only diagrams that zoom in on the most useless fragments of each part—and oh, did I mention, the directions were printed on 3-inch panels so the only way to SEE them is to take a picture with your phone and zoom in on the picture? I am attaching a picture example. I mean, seriously, do they expect anyone to understand this at ALL? Fortunately, I was able to find a YouTube video (and only one!) of someone assembling a similar model so I was able to extrapolate what was supposed to be done here.

    Crappy machine, crappier customer service

    Too early to determine if the machine is good or bad. But one thing for sure - their customer service is horrible. Look at the photos below - 1) the actual machine belt assembly 2) what the manual shows as belt assembly. The pulley in the middle is missing from the diagram. I reported to the agent (some Vincent, a piece of work!) that they are publishing bad schematic diagrams for a generally available product. He started getting irritated, told me he will pass up the chain. I asked politely if I should call back or do I expect to get a call back so I some expert can tell me if the belt will go over or under the pulley - he hung up. I will never buy one more product from these people, and take time off work to express my disappointment on every platform I have access to.

    I was a bit skeptical about electric snow blower. However it exceeded my expectations! It is so easy to clean sidewalks! And 4amp 80 volt battery holds pretty well! I can clean a 3 car garage driveway and a sidewalk. I have a corner lot, so one battery is not anough, however I have a lawn mower with the same battery, so for my corner lot I’m using abou 1.2 batteries :)

    A strong competitor to gas snowblowers. No more gas to worry about. Charge lasts. It cleared my 2 car driveway and sidewalks perfectly and with battery charge left over. The headlights show perfect light at night to light the way. Very happy with this purchase. PLUS! The charger and battery are compatible with my Green works 80V lawnmower. Green works does it again! Thanks Best Buy!

    Good snow thrower

    There are both good and needs improvement comments. The size of the driveway is about 20 ft wide by 25 ft long. The snow level has been between 1” to 5”. Mostly power with a little wet snow mixed in for good measure. Assembly was easy even with just the pictures. The battery does work at least 15 minutes since that is how long it takes to blow the driveway. When I check the battery charge, it’s either has 4 lights and once had 3 lights. The distance of the snow being thrown is greater when the snow depth is higher. The 5” snow didn’t brother the thrower in anyway. The auger even cut thru ice when I accidentally went over some. I would not recommend much ice since the auger is totally plastic. Maybe a metal edge would be nice. The machine doesn’t remove the snow down to the bare pavement, but it gets it within about 1/16” of an inch. Good enough for the sun to melt the snow quickly. (The larger gas powered two stage blowers do about the same.) No matter how I position the chute, snow blows back on the machine. I haven’t figured out about the lights, but it would be nice if I could shut off the lights. When the snow was wetter and less depth, the snow I’ll stick to the chute. The machine doesn’t come with with cleaning rod. The machine seems powerful enough for my small area. Thus I’d recommend this product overall. Only time will tell how it performs in the future since it’s mostly plastic.

    This Greenworks 80V snow blower was a lifesaver for the kind of winter where it snows, then ices, then snows again. I love not dealing with gas, fumes, or pull-starts. Just pop the battery in and go. That said, the included battery only lasts about 30 minutes for me, thankfully it came with a second battery as a “free gift” from best buy. Also, the battery charges fast (about 40 minutes), so with two batteries you can swap and keep going. Pros: The chute control is great and makes it easy to aim where the snow goes, which helps a lot when you’re trying not to cover your car or your neighbor’s sidewalk. It’s also easy to push and steer because of the wheels: more guiding it than fighting it. It’s a little bulky, but it stores easily. And it’s much quieter and smoother than a gas blower. Cons: Battery life is the biggest downside. I wouldn’t buy this with only one battery: two is basically required. Also, the throw distance can be inconsistent, especially with wet/heavy snow. Sometimes it throws well, other times it doesn’t go very far.

    The Greenworks 80V 20” Cordless Snow Blower works great for clearing driveways and sidewalks. It has strong power, starts instantly, and is much quieter than gas models. The 4.0 Ah battery lasts well, and the rapid charger is very convenient. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and requires little maintenance. A great cordless snow blower for reliable and hassle-free snow removal.

    I started by purchasing the greenworks shovel but had to return it because of the angle i had to hold it at to shovel was uncomfortable. I got this.,,and am soooooo happy. I put it together in my kitchen. (Easy assembley) i was anxious to take it out for a test run. I lifted it with one hand and carried it out the door. (Needed a second had to angle it). Popped the battery in and tried to start it….and it didnt start!!! (I took a deep breath…looked at the instructions….,my fault. Need to get the horder right. Pull the handle THEN push the button. It wont work if you do it in the other order. So i started it up beautifully. Now the real test. I had about two feet of piled snow from the snow plow along the road. Moving the snow blower was easy, when i hit the pile, had had to do a few pushes to get through. Even though it was heavy snow, it still tossed it in the air easily. It was a little more work then a gas powered blower, but definitely worth a few extra pushes. My walkway had about three inches of heavy snow. (Had mixed snow and rain a few hours earlier). No problem….no clog. When i was done, i was down to 1/4 of the battery. For heavy snow..,,it definitely got a workout! For my first run, this blower earned 5 stars easily.

    I upgraded to this snow blower from an electric snow blower and I love it. I have only had it for about 3 weeks and I have already used it 3 times. I ha a 2 car drive way sidewalks, front porch and walkway and was able to use it all on one battery charge. Awesome machine and very easy to setup.

      Hello AppPencilPurchase. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear the snow blower was easy to assemble and is working well for you. We appreciate your note about the plastic impeller, while it performs well for clearing snow, caution is recommended when working with ice to help maintain durability. To help maintain the durability of the plastic impeller, consider these tips. (1) Avoid heavy ice. The impeller is designed for snow, not solid ice. Use a shovel or ice scraper to break up ice before using the blower. (2) Clear in layers. For deep or compacted snow, remove it in multiple passes rather than all at once. (3) Check for debris. Always make sure rocks, sticks, or other debris are cleared from the path before operating. (4) Store properly. Keep the snow blower dry and clean after each use to prevent wear and damage to components. It is great to hear you were able to get an extra battery at a good price. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy your snow blower! If you ever have specific questions or concerns about our products, contact Greenworks via Live chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com), call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or refer to the FAQ ask section of the tool or ask us a question, anytime.

    Works well so far. It is all plastic so durability may reduce life of machine. Plenty of power with 80v to handle 3-4” depth. 4amp battery is sufficient to do my 3 car driveway. With the limited use, I would recommend for in town use.
