I bought this snow blower and on Dec 1st 2020 I got 14.4 inch of snow. That was after 4 to 5 hours of straight rain. This snow was extremely wet. I have a single drive, 3 car deep and about 60 feet of sidewalk. I did use all the 7.5 ah battery. The snow on sidewalk was at least 20 inch deep. If it had been 6 to 8 in of powder I'd have probably used 1/2 battery. This storm was way more than intended for Toro use but it did a great job. I plan to get lawn mower so I have 7.5 and 6.0 battery year round. No regrets buying this snow blower.

They now have a new E21 that's somewhat self propelled. Has a rubber auger that supposed to hug the ground and pull it a little. I'm not sure it's worth another $550 over this E21. It also comes with an additional 2.5 watt battery. That's probably $100 of the extra cost. Those are the two models I'm thinking of buying. If anyone has owned both please comment and let me know what you think of the difference.

These little snow blowers are not designed for city snowplowed thick, icy and hard packed snowbanks. That is how owners break these ( gas and corded or cordless electric) single stage machines and blames the manufacturers. But you can chip down the huge snowbanks to bits by hand tools and use these for cleaning up the mess. But the bigger chuncks of debris still require manual labor of hand shoveling.

I have the Toro E-Lawn Mower 60 Volt w/6 amp battery. I’m going to buy a Toro E-Snowblower as well! I would suggest when you buy anything battery powered get the strongest battery they have. Note:Toro doesn’t recommend storing your 60 Volt batteries fully charged. Being a contractor using Milwaukee tools we do have battery issues from time to time. It’s the cost of doing business. A battery verses buying gas and the cost of maintaining a carburetor and engine is a no brainer trade off. Also no oily/gas exhaust smell on your clothes,hair and skin!

My neighbor has a battery machine and has had real bad luck with batteries season to season, could be because they are not used for 6-7 months is the issue and/or he is not taking care of them right. He said the first thing that happens is that they lose over 25% of their life the next season even with a fresh full charge. Almost all of the reviews are from guys that use the batteries a lot and swap them to other tools in the warmer months. I am wondering how the average Joe is doing with batteries.

Exactly, and bigger batteries have more cells which means a higher chance that they will go bad. Users don't read the manual so they don't care for them properly either. The way I get around the big battery problem is by converting these to run on several smaller batteries connected in series. I bought two 40V snow blowers this year that came with batts and chargers. I converted them to run on dual Ryobi batteries and sold the original batteries/chargers for more than I bought them for. In then end I got two snow blowers not for free, but I was basically paid $150 to take them. HA!
