Obviously not for commercial use. Limited by not being able to drag snow back. It works for me because I can go into my yard and plow across the front of my garage.

sdandrea1 Yes, fingers crossed that they're the same 80v that's in my Greenworks leaf blower. If not, I'll order more batteries.

You might want to check the battery prices. The OEM Greenworks batteries are pretty pricey. Also I saw a few of the Greenworks snow blowers that came with a single 2.0 mah battery. Mo' mah, mo poon. 😜

sdandrea1 I already have a Greenworks leaf blower with two 80v batteries so I'm leaning that way.

I think I have waaay too many leaves for an electric blower, but wondering how much run time you get with 2 batteries?

Be a real man and shovel.

I hand shovel my 6 car driveway and my elderly neighbours which is even bigger.

Everyone on my block has had blowers since I moved here 23 years ago. I'm the only one that ever used a shovel. And I'm the only one that ever had a clear driveway. Did 18" 1 evening. 👍

Im 72. All my shit hurts. Besides, I shoveled for two hours today before and after using the baby snow blower.

sdandrea1 That’s probably what I have. One battery. I’ll take a pic. I do both decks and a driveway that will hold cars 3 across and 3 down. Lasts over an hour

I sent a pic to your phone

sdandrea1 I thought living by grandchildren negates more stuff?

Go gas or go home. Electric doesn’t cut it up here. 🤣

Why not?

Snow can be blown in and drifted. Works in the city I suppose but the type and amount of snow we can get would overwhelm an electric. I know of nobody that has an electric here in town.

My boy (12 and 10) made $130 going around the neighborhood today. They do it by donation. I figure they have another 2-3 years where they can rake it in b/c they are still small and cute. Once they hit the mid teens they won't get that cute kid bonus

I have 4 snow blowers and use them depending on how much snow we receive. The biggest one is on my John Deere
X370 lawn tractor. I usually use that one on my driveways (2). I have a John Deere walk behind that I rarely use when we
get a lot of snow. I use it on my sidewalks that go around the house from front to back yards. I can't get my X370 onto
those sidewalks. I have a EGO battery powered snow blower that I use for everything if we get lesser amounts of snow
and finally, I have an electric broom that I use to clear snow from my deck. It's kind of like golf clubs. I'm always on the lookout for another tool that could come in handy.

I broke mine out and it worked pretty good, until one of my extension cords took a shit. The rest by hand and I let the Mrs. do the lower half. I've been shoveling all day here, at work. I'm seriously considering quitting. I hate coming in here, anymore.

LBlack14 You go through the pissed off at work shit all the time and then you just suck it up

I'm amazed at the interest in the electric snowblowers. I wouldn't consider one at all. In a bigger storm (12" - 24") I'm out with my Husqvarna 2 to 3 times and it's hours on the driveway. That effort can double when you factor in the walkways and paths.

Typhoon

backinit Yeah, I don’t get why people buy the huge battery powered ones. They cost waaay too much, if you get a lot of snow or have a huge driveway you’re limited on battery time and spares cost a ton.

If you have serious snowblower needs, Ariens Gas powered.

It’s like the electric car crap

Is there a such thing as a hybrid snowblower?? Gas and battery?? That would be fine. Like a Hybrid car…

backinit I'm amazed at the interest in the electric snowblowers.

My interest in electric is based on a 6" snowfall being considered a major event here. If we get a SnowMageddon 12"+ (rare) these people lose their minds and I'm staying home until it melts down to 6" or less.
