I bought my snow joe a month ago but we didn't get any snow until today. Initial tests when I finished assembling it, it worked just fine. I was excited to try it out today. Turned out on and started pushing, it was throwing snow 20' away. After 30secs it just stopped. Tried many times again and no go. Just dead silent. Took the batteries out to check and they are still fully charged. Had 30sec of fun while it lasted. Had to get out the gas blower to finish the job. I'll be returning it back for a refund.

I know people have budgets. But when it comes to certain things, you are better off paying a bit more for something that is going to serve you for a long time. I bought my first snowblower (Ariens) 30 years ago. And I'd probably still have it to this day except that the chute crank broke, and there was no way to replace the mechanism. I basicly got tired of having to stop and manually aim the chute every 30 seconds. Spend a bit more, get a better machine, because #1 it will work better, #2 it will last longer, #3 As an adult you have enough cr** to deal with and having to worry if the thing is going to hold up when you do get 6" of snow isn't worth saving a few bucks.

I agree with your assessment with the machine drifting sideways. My Toro electric does the same thing. It annoys me so much that I do full cuts skipping every other section so that I can run down the middle of the machine with the section of snow that I [skipped] left behind. I find it much smoother to do it that way.

I have the greenworks plug in and it works good but is really cheaply made the shoot broke in less than 2 years now i have to adjusted by hand cant use the handle any more but still clean good

When you were at the end of the driveway by the street, did both of those snowblowers stall out? It certainly looked that way as you were yanking back and forth. Great comparison vidz!

What’s weird is the wild badger is identical to the skil 40v but uses a greenworks looking battery. I got the skil one and the battery is the same as what’s used in their lawnmower.

My guess is Ryobi would be well positioned in this voltage, but I don't have their blower to know for sure.

Just curious are you in Michigan?

You talk about the one being too low for you cause you’re tall, but you never mention how tall you are? That would help judge it a little better. Like are you 6ft5?

You don’t say how tall you are, so hard to gauge how tall is “too tall” for the green works.

Neither, it seems both are too short for me.

You look like one of those kids with a ball popper toy. Just clowning bro.
