I got 8 inches of snow last week and I was able to clear mine 3 car driveway and 3 neighbors driveways... This thing is a BEAST...

I bought this after your review. This 70 year old guy has now used this snow blower in 5 storms, and I love this machine. The last storm turned to freezing rain, and it struggled with the heavy, wet 8" accumulation. But the next morning with temps around 15F, it chewed right through the remaining stuff. I do a 250' gravel driveway on a steep hill, and it performs wonderfully. I can do the entire driveway and a good-sized parking area at the top with one charge of the 7.5 ah batteries when it's powder. It took me 3 full charges for his latest storm with the heavy snow, but the charger gets the recharge done in under 2 hours, a good respite for these old bones so I don't overdo it. It does throw the snow really far. And it's quiet, too. No more oil changes. No more petrol. Easy to operate, If you don't mind the price, you will love this machine. Thanks for the recommendation.

Ego provided a permanent fix for the chute. Just give them a call and they'll mail you a kit to easily fix that problem. 😁 And they also uploaded a video of the kit on their KZfaq channel too! 😃

Purchased this blower a month ago and the thing is a beast! I’ve only had to use it twice in about 6-8 inches of (CO) snow and it cleared my driveway on the ECO setting (lowest setting) with no problem. I got to play around with the Turbo setting and it definitely was helpful to get the snow over the snow banks piled up on either side of my 32’ driveway (2 car garage) and still had 4/5 lights on my battery remaining. I never post reviews but after debating researching for hours between the 2-stage and single stage ego blower I’m very pleased with my purchase. This KZfaq review was spot on!

Thank you so much for this video. Being a solo, female home owner. Also a care taker of my parents who live down the street. I have many of the EGO tools and I love them, but when I got this snow blower it was very intimidating with its size and power. Thank you for you explanation on it. Now I’m ready for the snow

I own an ego lawnmower and LOVE it. It's been over 2 years so far and going great! Thanks for this review!

I’m impressed again. I work with property maintenance and was using backpack blowers to maintain the property. After getting tired of lugging it around, cold starts, and noise level. I looked into battery powered blowers. After doing some research, it came down to Ego and Milwaukee. Both priced at 299. Went with Ego, 56 volts. Same battery as the snowblower above. But only comes with one and charger that is fan cooled. Was concerned with battery life and performance. 250 unite complex. Breezeways, mulch, etc, it handled it like a champ. Very light, easy to handle with one hand. Definitely would go with the 650 cfm vs the smaller version. Moving to that platform for cordless outdoor equipment looks promising.

I have it! It's awesome. The ability to turn down the blade speed is so awesome when you don't need to throw it anywhere other than the side. No clogging problems, other than slush... But that's gonna happen no matter what you've got. Sorry Vince, a couple things you forgot to mention in this otherwise nearly prefect video... You don't need to hold down the power button to start the blower, just press it before you engage the auger/blower. Once you've got that engaged, and you start to move it under power, you can let go of the auger lever and use your other hand to control where the snow goes and how fast you're going. When you release the drive lever, it releases the auger lever as well.

Shopping for mine now, thanks for the help deciding on a 2 stage. My only regret with their mower was not getting the more powerful one, love their products! I have all the ego tools, going to pick up the power station (for use with the many Ego batteries I already have) and this blower to be completely ready for winter.

All of my Ego tools have worked well over several years. The chain saw has proved itself very well.

It’s a great machine, and if the shoot moves too much for you just call ego and they will send you a fix for it for free and easy to install. I’ve had mine for 3 months and used it for 2 storms no issues after I added the fixer piece.

No contest. I like to see the 12 inches+ snow performance test and end of driveway's chunky hard packed snowbanks by city snowplows.

I brought this model earlier in the year and have been impressed with it. We have a winter storm come through. “Probably the same on this is filmed in.” It does great in large amounts of snow, but struggles when it comes to layers of sleet mixed in with the snow. I think it’s to be expected though. Overall it’s amazing. Charge it and the batteries hold a full charge for 30 days. Use it once enough snow falls. Charge it over night. Clear the remaining snow in the morning. 5 out of 5. IMO. Great review Vince.

Just bought one today. Super stoked for snow now. Also, I just got a ego lawn mower. Was super skeptical, but it did the job and I could actually listen to music as I did it.

That’s an incredible sno blower! What more could you ask for. Great review.

Love ego!! Looks like a great snow blower!!! Love that it’s battery powered

Our town has a noise ordinance. No noise after 10:00 pm in neighborhoods. I go out at 2:00 am and NONE of the neighbors know I’m out there. Quiet and powerful. I have the neighbors walks plowed and they are happy! The blower chute does not lock in place and will move while operating. EGO has a free piece that you can have sent to you. It’s easy to install. You can also adjust the very top of the blower chute to point down so it only shoots snow towards the ground about 1-2 feet.

I bought the EGO 24" snowblower with 4 x 10 ahr batteries. I also purchased the 3000w power station. I have a lawnmower for about 7 years and a chainsaw for 3 years. I love them all. Never had an issue with any of them (knock on wood).

I live in Minnesota and have one of these and can say Turbo is more power than you'll need. Eco is plenty. Turbo had me blowing snow into my neighbors driveway. This thing is an absolute beast and is light as hell to boot.

EGO already came out with the fix for the drifting chute. Easy to install. I have used the snowblower just once in about 6 inches of heavy, wet snow with a layer of ice at the bottom and I was impressed with the way it moved the snow and the throwing distance. It even cleared away the 18 inches or so of snow and ice that the plows left in front of my driveway. I was a bit disappointed in the battery life, but I was probably running the auger speed higher than I needed to. Next time I will set it in the middle and hopefully that extends the battery life.

I think the auget speed controls the distance the snow is thrown thus solving your problem

Have the 80v system 5 years old snow blower ,hedge trimmer ,chain saw ,weed wacker ,blower which is 7-8 yrs old all still words great original batteries just starting to weaken but still works

We call that the french toast special. Everybody goes out and buys bread, eggs, and milk at the first sight of snow 😆

Great review. I like how you were discovering the tool in real time. I just bought one, my second EGO tool. I live in New England and cannot wait for the snow! Thanks,.

Controlling the discharge speed is very important in tight areas. I.e. blowing close to your house where there are basement windows. I often reduced the engine speed to control the snow discharge force.

Been waiting for this video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We live in Western Michigan and yes, 'it snows here' :-) Last weekend (Nov 17-20,2022) we got 30". It was the first test of my 2 Stage Ego. Side note: I am a big EGO fan, and I own the E6 Zero turn, two leaf blowers, the weed whacker with chainsaw attachment, and even a chainsaw. I love them all. So to complete my transition to electric I acquired the Ego two stage blower this fall. The lights are great, the handle adjusts to a comfortable height for my 6'5" frame and the controls are easy to use and logical. The lack of heated handles as not an issue as I didn't need to grip tightly as I did with my previous gas powered unit. The EGO unit is light, about half the weight of that gas powered two stage unit, making it super easy to maneuver. So when the snow began to fall I was ready! ... or so I thought. The thing was an absolute fail in wet snow. No matter what I did, the unit would blow for a few feet and then the snow would just pile up in front of it, turning it into a plow. I tried going slow, and going fast, even up to full speed. I tried going even faster than that by simply pushing the unit. I ran the blower part it full turbo the entire time. I would have to back up then 'charge' into the pile hoping it would get pulled into the auger. When it did, it chewed it up and blew it out, that much was good. However, when it began acting like a plow again, the remaining snow in the spout would quickly freeze. After a couple of these cycles the spout was frozen solid. I have been blowing snow for approaching 50 years and have cleared a frozen spout perhaps a dozen times in those years, until this past weekend when I cleared this thing dozens of times. Having to provide a clearing shovel on top of the unit should have been 'a clue'. ;-) Our driveway is about 200 ft long about half 1 car wide and half two cars wide. In the first three clearings, of about 8" each, I went through the supplied 7.5AH batteries as well as nearly tapped out a set of 10 AH batteries from my Z6. The fourth and final clearing WAS better than the first three as the snow was a bit drier and didn't built up in front of the machine. It only plugged one time, and I managed to finish on one set of 7.5AH batteries. There was about 6" of snow to clear. For me, the EGO blower is on 'two strikes' so It's going to have to redeem itself. Admittedly this was an above average event, even for West Michigan, and a very early season storm. Compounding that, our driveway (asphalt) and the ground beneath it, was rather warm thus turning the bottom layer of the heavy wet snow nearly to slush. So we'll see how it gets on with upcoming snow that may not be grade a 'Snow Man Quality' snow. Edit: It is now Jan 6 of 2023 and I have used the EGO on two additional snowfall events. Neither was the super wet stuff on a base of slush of the first event. For both recent events it did not plug ag all, nor did it turn itself into a plow. I was still disappointed with battery life having to use both a set of 7.5s and a set of 10Ah batteries to complete my drive each time. I was moving significant snow, 8 to 10 inches and it actually handled that snow rather impressively. It handled the end of the drive where the county plow leaves the 'bonus snow' well also. It might work out after all. Note: All my batteries are charged and kept in the basement where it is approx 55 degrees. Excessive cold hurts battery life, and charging below freezing is a no-no.

have the smaller 21" single stage with 2 x5ah batteries. clears 12" of snow from my 4 car driveway, including the 20" snowplow bank by the street , and my back patio with 25% of the charge to spare. would like this one for the once or twice a year 18 to 20" snowstorm. have the lawnmower and leaf blower too. great products! my little snowblower throws the snow 30' easy just as advertised (btw, I live in Minnesota)

I got one yesterday. Thanks for your video. It helped a lot to see the improvements they have made in the 2022 model. The shoot is stiff now. I doubt it will move on its own. They (Ace Hardware) could not deliver it on the EGO pallet so they assembled it before delivering it for free. I appreciate seeing the unboxing so I know nothing was missed or missing. Thanks again! Now all I need is some test snow.

I just received my EGO 2stage snow thrower. I have the mulching mower, trimmer, and leaf blower. The power surprised me not missing going for gas. Your video helped me with my decision to buy the snow 2 stage snowblower. Thanks

I am a big fan of Ego everything. Been waiting for a self propelled snow blower. I'm 73 years old and have now need to be running after gas and plugs. Love EGO

Good Video and demonstration! Keep up the great job! 👍🧰🪛🪜🔧🪚🛠⛏🧰👍😍

I have the single stage snow blower and love it and can't wait to get the 2 stage.

A video review that is actually useful, and actually demonstrates the use of the machine in its intended environment! Thank you!

The road salt not a problem with my steel unit that’s 15 yeas old. The only salt I run into is the bottom of the driveway after the plow truck comes through. I make one pass down to the salty area, clear out that area real good, then do the rest of the driveway, I run a lot of fresh snow through it after. Once a year, I power wash it, let it dry, spray it down with wd40. Good review btw, this thing got my attention.

Live in CA hardly any snow where I'm at but good vid and informative. Like always hit the 🔔 . First comment as a newly member to VCG. Lol

Awesome. I love my tracked Ariens model but I am considering this for next season. If it can handle heavy Lake Effect Snow here in Buffalo, I won’t miss filling the tank with gas!

Nice review! I'm just getting ready to unbox mine and looking forward to using it....

Thank you for this video.

Tanks for the heads up on the blower chute fix Viny

Vince is one of the best KZfaq personality’s that you can watch. This man was made to be in front of a camera.

Very nice it even has powered wheels awesome

I had this for a week. We had about 10inch of snow. And this just couldn’t do. I loved it and was so nice looking. I returned it. The battery doesn’t last long enough. Had to charge 4 times from 0 to 100 rapid charging took me 5hrs. When a regular gas could do in 45mins.

Great video and review. I think I will add one to my ego collection. I'll pair it up with a power station so i can silently run my fridge at night during the power outtages that usually come with our first snow.

I live in Northern Alberta. I have used this thing in temperatures as low as -35 Celsius. It's an absolute beast and I will never go back to gas!

I have the smaller single stage works good for what I need. Started with a leaf blower was impressed then a lawn mower. Good quality machines.

That’s an incredible sno - blower

Yo Vince!!! LIKE button smashed! I solved my snow issues back in 1998. I moved to Florida. 🤣🤣 Thanks and God bless! 😁👍✌

Awesome video! As a Minnesotan, I laughed pretty good at 6:50. You nailed it man, that top piece is called a deflector lol. Keep up the great content!

Just got one the other day and for the first time in many years, I cant wait for it to snow !!!!!

Looks like a beastly tool

thank you for showing this

Vince I love your videos on Milwaukee battery tools and they have helped me immensely. Now lets get real about the Honda Snowblower being a great deal of maintenance. I own 2 of them. 1 is a 15 year old single stage that I have changed the oil on 2 times in 15 years. The other is a 2 stage 13HP similar to yours and is a 2016 model which I have never had to change the oil yet. I live in Wisconsin so we get plenty of snow. They both start every year without issues and all you have to do is turn the gas valve off and run them till they stop then turn the screw to drain the carb. Run premium gas with no ethanol and you will never have an issue. Lets see how many batteries at 350 dollars a crack for 1 you go through in 15 years. I certainly doubt the gas and oil I use will cost near as much and the Honda will have way more power than the Ego. Yes I understand that a Honda costs a lot more up front but I believe even a cheaper Areins will cost more and run longer.

I watched about 3 or 4 other videos . But you gave me more information .

I have the EGO lawnmower and weed wackier they both work great. I am now going to buy the snow blower too

Great video. I got the 2 stage ego blower and I am very happy with it. Only difference is mine is not cleaning it down to the pavement. I guess I can adjust the snow skids a bit. I was wondering if anyone thought there were better skids. I have seen some with a wheel. Any suggestions.

Great video, that thing is amazing. I would definitely buy one if I didn't live in Florida.

Just got the single stage blower. It’s amazing all the same. Quiet and really powerful. Can finish my 2500sq ft of drive with about third of battery remaining

I came in to hit the LIKE BUTTON 😂😆 and let the video play we don't usually get eñough snow in Branson Mo. to warrant a snow blower. Thanks Rodney

I am in East North Carolina-too bad no snow for blower to “play”in-looks like a nice unit!

I just bought one of the Egos and I love it

Ego sent a part to correct the chute moving on its own, we got it and the problem is now fixed. Just register yours on their website and they'll send it to you. Furthermore, you get about twice the battery capacity if you keep it in the lowest auger speeds instead of turbo and it doesnt throw as far when you're in tight spaces. Dont worry about it clogging up, we got about 8 inches of wet heavy snow today here in Canada and it did amazing and never had to go turbo.

It's the exact same as you never remember you need wipers until it's pouring rain

This is the most Philly snow blower video I have ever scene

I just picked up the ego 21in select cut mower at Home Depot yesterday on clearance for 314$ for the kit with 7.5 amp hour battery and rapid charger. Been wanting one for the past year and I couldn’t pass that deal up. Now I just need spring to come to PA

I have 2 older snapper snowblowers which are gas 10hp 30in (model 1030 from big frame series) and they like many newer machiness on the market have single handle control. This is something ego should have put in. Especially since those handles might be electronic anyway and not have to use cables since it is electric. On my snappers, this allows you, once you depress both drive and auger handles it then locks one to the other through a cable catch. Then you can release your hand from one and the other will keep both activated, freeing your right hand to be able to use it to turn the chute or adjust your deflector. Thereby keeping drive and auger going from the one handle at that point. When you let up just slightly on that one handle then it releases the other if you want it to disengage. Using the deflector to point the snow down besides your path or in a localized area is something you should have done to keep the snow from going somewhere you did not want it to. Drop the angle of the head down so the snow would land beside the machine along the edge of street without going in the street or wherever you could leave it. I can leave snow in little controlled areas if necessary between the sidewalk or street or on a lawn without reaching the front door etc. My machines can clear a lawn or telephone lines etc. If the 2nd stage or impeller has metal blades you should also consider adding an impeller kit as I have done on my machines. It will create extra friction reducing battery life until they wear in but will seal the gap which is how I can throw water with my machines and slushy water.

In Canada ... it’s called the ‘Snow Bank’. Great review video Vin. Thanks

My question is maintenance related...do you have to clean the blades or change them yearly? And how well does the batter last if I turn it to turbo mode on 4 car driveway, and/or drive way entrance?

Waiting for a bigger driveway before I get a snow blower and I’ve been amazed with the ryobi 40v tools I have and I know ego is a lot better

I spray the chute and auger area with cooking oil. It minimizes any clogging issues.

The shoot does have a repair kit, other than that to solve your other issue with the controls. If you turn on the auger 1st and then turn on the drive it will lock the auger on and at that point you can release the handle and use your right hand to control the shoot and throw height adjuster. It takes some getting used to. For the kit go to EGO and make sure you register your tool and let them know you have an issue.

I just ordered one thank you

Was able to unbox the snow blower without tearing up the box. Secured loose chute and padded it to prevent damage to it, then turned box on its end (where tires are) and with fingers on treads applied traction inside box to work its way out of the box (also had to tug some on box around blades).

Very informative and entertaining!

Thank for the review. I have a 4 car driveway and although this might be overkill for it, I want the ability to move the occasional deep snow we get up in the mountains of PA. This seems to be perfect.

Almost bought this but decided to upgrade to the 3x cub cadet w/42" blower on a xt2 tractor for $300 more

Hey Vince make sure to call ego there is a plate that clips ontop of the gears under the box where the extra pins are. It takes 2 seconds to install and ego will ship it for free. The plate rests on the gears for the shoot so it doesn’t drift and it took like 3 days for them to deliver that plate. Also I live in MN and the machine worked flawless during our Xmas snow storm!

I'm not watching this with snow in the forecast lol. Just love the tech

Great snowblower until it’s cold out. Last storm The chute control at the controls would not love left or right. Ego support said bring it inside to warm up. A winter tool has to be warmed up!!!!

Have the 60V toro and it’s great to 6-8in. Holds three 7.5Ah batteries and is quiet ! I use my tractor for the big stuff.

How did your EGO do with the recent Nor’Easter’s snow dump?

I just cancel my order of the 2405(2x7.5amp) for the 2406(2x10amp)Heavy wet snowfall scared me a bit with the 7.5 since i have a 5-6cars space to clear with some corner street snowplow crap to clean at the entrance.North east Canada weather...cant wait to try this bad boy

"You would do what everyone else does, wait for the snow warning" Nope, it's August and I'm shopping for a replacement right now. The wife? She'd wait until the day after the snow buried us and ask "what do we do". I on the other hand is already making my list for Christmas gifts and shopping for a snowblower.

With all of those snowblowers, I'll bet your snowman is happy.

I never comment on these videos, but this guy's a RIOT! Real "city" humor, which I miss now that I am living in Montana - which also means a ton of snow, so I appreciate this for two reasons. Thanks!

So which is the best and affordable brand when it comes to snow blowers? I am looking to buy one.....was looking at the Ego

Out of the box sold me really easy setup

I live in a place where it never snows, I have no house or driveway but I still watched the whole video

It has a nice sound to it, sounds like a mini jet engine. It looks like it works great.

Looks powerful for battery

Representing Minnesota

Hey if you start auger then depress drive it will lock auger lever in place. helps with adjusting shoot on the go.

You got it, its called a snow drift.

In ND we call large piles of snow created by wind "DRIFTS"

Some people were saying that running a slower auger speed gives you a ton more battery life with enough throwing distance to do the job it has to do, something to consider

I have used a brushless chainsaw 16" to cut trees and prune branches for 4 years now and its awesome. If this works this is the way to go. Small engines not required.

I just got mine. If you don’t want it to hit the neighbors, angle the actuator. You can put it right down 15’ away.

i live in Long island and boy was this a good year to buy this item, seams like I'm using it every 3 days, love the power, just one thing i wish EGO should have done was to include the 10 amp batteries with this unit, seams like I'm always just running out of power in the end and I have to reach for my other batteries I have. although it sounds great that I can do that but i find that they don't last nearly enough as the 7.5 batteries this comes with. looking forward to the zero turn mower coming up this spring, than i can use those massive batteries on the snow blower in the winter.

Got to have money for this! I have weedeater and hedge trimmer and they are expensive as all get out. My wife likes both as do I. It is like buying a expensive car. You only do it if you can afford it. Not sure on life of batteries. My two stage snow thrower is 25-30 years old and still works great. I got it used and never had a problem starting it up. Got to have money for convience.

I can't wait to try my snow blower out. I have the two stag with the 10AH batteries. Just wish it came with a dual battery charger.
