Now let's make them remote controlled!
i own 4 ego products im excited to try my snowblower plus i can use the 12ah batter on my lawnmower :)
@@gamingseeks3580 Can't wait to pop those two 12.0Ah batteries into the the modified SelectCut PeakPower lawnmower and make it a 24.0Ah LM2147SP XP mower!
I have one of these. Bought it last fall and used it all last winter in Northern Wisconsin. Very satisfied. It throws snow twice as far as the equivalently sized gas machine it replaced.
That was the previous version. These just hit the market 👊
How long the battery last? How much you clearing?
Wow, that 28" size sounds awesome. Like an aircraft getting ready to take off. I hope you get lots of snow so we can see how it throws it.
Sounds cooler than I thought it would brother
And a lot less whining & quieter noise than the High pitch noise 24 inch snow blower in ECO mode (not EGO mode!🤣)... just what I need after the snowplow comes after 1:00AM while all the other neighbours will have to wait until the 3 foot snow pile freeze overnight until next morning 6:00AM to start their gas snow blower... when I will be 😴😴😴 like a Bat-ray!
I always prefer a mechanical chute director with metal parts. Feels like the battery powered chute is something that could break
I would never buy one of these. I live in Phoenix:) Nice video.
@@IceCreamManDLR LOL! Good point!
Yes, they look pretty awesome. Yes, they seem pretty quiet. For all that, you didn’t throw a single snow flake. Not even one. 🤣🤣 Seriously though, another great video!
They're made to last 5-8 years.
The 24" had numerous problems with the snow chute drifting from its user set position but no mention of breaking. People can of course DiY their own improvements if they want.
I have an Ariens Hydro-Pro 28" 420cc, that I would put up against the 28" EGO any day.... A number of years back my area got the storm of the century 36 inches of Snow! I put the cutter arms up and cleaned my driveway and the end of my street..
According to the manual the 28" unit comes with a set of dual function skid shoes: Plastic side for more delicate surfaces and Steel side for gravel and less delicate surfaces. Nice thinking EGO even though I would still prefer using the ARMORSkids used on the SNT2400 on the new unit.
that 28'' is what we need here in Quebec. It's real NAS LIKE.
I got the ego snowblower back in dec 2020 when I first saw them in stock locally. Love it but now I want this 28”!!
I just pickup the 28". Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I'm ready!
I love EGO products. I've never seen anyone So happy to review a snowblower and you probably can't wait for it to snow. Great job.
I actually hate winter and snow, but yeah.... I'm excited to use them lol
24 or spend etrxa for 28/?
Great review side by side. I think I will be going with the 24 inch. Although the 28 inch seems to have a lot more snow capacity. Hope to see you use it in the snow. Keep the jokes flying !
I was excited to see the changes and many options this year when I was at the local store buying christmas lights. Failed to notice the bigger wheels, hand warmer, and the electric swivel on the 28". No regrets on buying last year as so far (Nov 26) we haven't had a snowfall in Manitoba worth using it on. The central wand on the 24" and the generally more rugged build was impressive enough and the throttles are more clicky (my only complaint on last year's). Bought mine last year because I couldn't find one in Feb/March 2022 and there was no way I was going through a second winter of that amount of snow. This year looks like it will continue to be a little lighter.
Had a large Toro gas snow blower that had that kind of left-right turning ability. It was awesome doing a curved sidewalk. And if I remember right you could do the same in reverse.
Toro has been using that design for years.. not sure if they had a patent on it.. they called it the Toro quick stick
They look like nice units. Do they have Zerk fittings to grease the wheels and transfer case for the auger? Also, I wonder if they make tire chains to fit those tires as they do come in very handy on icy driveways and sidewalks? Thanks for sharing Clint. Cheers!
The 28” looks like a snow cannon!
👍👊🍻 nice , i love my ego products , i have the previous model of 24 inch snow blower , it's been amazing , going to be the 3rd winter , i have the 10 amp batteries also
Awesome, thx for posting. If I can get the GEN2 28” tool only, it’s a done deal as I have tons of EGO batteries.
I have the single stage version and I think it's awesome. My driveway and walk are not enough to really require a 2 stage like these, but they look awesome!!
How do you like yours? I'm confused between 1 stage and 2 stage
@@KickerHandle 1 stage is basically a weaker or less powerful snowblower. 2 stage snowblowers are generally larger and for more heavy duty snow removal. I like my stage one for the driveway and sidewalks of my property which isn't all that much work. Where my snowblower struggles is getting the berm cleared after the plow comes through. It can stall out, but I just restart it and keep working at it until it's cleared.
1 Stage handled last winter fine for me, snow up to 6 inches except the one day we had 5 inches of wet stuff was a struggle and went through the batteries much quicker. Main issue is that the 1 Stage can clog easier and it doesn't have the tire motors so you have to manually push it through which can be rough depending on snow fall. For a medium size driveway and sidewalk where you don't expect more than 8 inches or so it does fine. I had the version with the metal auger and twin 5 amp hour batteries.
I just ordered the single stage. The guy at True Value wanted me to buy the floor model but I insisted on it being "In the crate." He said "most customers like that we already put it together for you." I said, "NOT ME." I was ready to walk away UNLESS it's in the box. So, I have to wait a few days but at least I'm not robbed of the satisfaction of opening the box like a Christmas present!
@@bondedlockserviceinc.4583 I got mine in the box from ACE and it literally takes like 5 mins to assemble.
Now that they have a decent power directed shoot, they should make a button that sets that position even when turning. Like, say you are going north with the machine and the shoot is pointed west. Then, you turn around to come back the shoot will spin back around to keep shooting west. Shouldn't be too hard.
That's not necessary if you use the zamboni-type method. Go north in the middle of the driveway with chute pointing west. Turn around, to the east, leave chute alone, it shoots east. Repeat until done. Never have to move the chute.
Smart shoot
Can’t wait for the winter update video Clint!
bought one last year.....love it!
The 28" is a bit heavy and harder to maneuver, especially if you don't need the larger size.
U HAVE IT?
Thank you so much for making this first unboxing video I have been waiting for and now going to cleaning up my SNT2406 for sale TODAY!!! Based on the current unpredictable weather pattern on unusual thunderstorms popping out of nowhere even when the weather APPs are showing clear sky, I am going to upgrade to the SNT2807 even though I would prefer a SNT2807-4 or a 3-Stage Snowblower. Last few years we had dry summer with water ban and cold dryer winter in my area; however, considering the amount of rain this year and averagely 1 inch of rain is equivalent to about 10 inches of snowfall I am going to prepare myself ahead of time. I usually run the current unit on ECO mode only and the 28" definitely sounds a lot quieter on the ECO mode. When it comes to heavy snow/wet snow my shoulders & back usually gets tens up when trying to turn the heavy snow build up chute and the main unit itself so the investment on the electronic chute and turning assistance will save me the traveling frequency, time & money to visit the chiropractor and the message treatment during winter season. The extra weight and ground clearance on the 28" unit will be a very welcome addition to keep the unit down with less front lifting when eating through the heavy thick and tall snow pile I usually get as my house is the first house on a long curb for the snowplow to dump the first load of snow buildup from the curb. Great video and thank you!👍
so what ddi u get?
@@randomrazr will be getting the 28".
I bought a EGO snow blower last winter ( live in Winnipeg), and I love it, totally sold on it. It's quite and powerful. I end up only using 25% of the battery juice for a 2 car wide,40 foot long driveway.
Appreciate the comment and feedback Justin. Had another comment on this video from someone else saying he lives there and he wouldn't consider it because of the tems. Guess you just proved him wrong 🤣👊
@@ToolReviewZone I never had an issue even when it was minus 30 out. It powered through everything a Winnipeg winter can throw at us. Had tons of battery left to do the sidewalks and neighbours driveway.
Considering you all have to plug-in your block heater on you vehicles during the winter season even just parking at the mail, the testimony from a Canadian "Winterpegger" says it all about the capability of modern battery powered equipment vs all the never-tried gas-lover none sense commands.... if you never tried, you never know the truth....
think the 28 would be overkill for a driveway like yours?
@@randomrazr only one I could get in the city at the time, didn't care what model.
Great, now I want to move back to Colorado from TX just to buy this snow blower.
I just picked up the 28” - awaiting a crazy winter in mid Ontario. Feels a lot lighter and more maneuverable than my Cadet 24”
I hate snow, but can't wait to try this out this winter
@@ToolReviewZonehaha not surprising for most people. We actually find snow amazing and the calm after a snowstorm my kids n I are racing to clear the driveway and back patio.
how much is it in the canadian dollar market
Would it be possible for you to measure the length from the front tip of the auger housing to the back of the lower black metal frame bar? Trying to get a sense of space needed in the garage. I store the 24" by tilting the top control Center forward when not in use with two top nuts and bolts and keep the other two in the battery changer. Also, what is the impeller size (11" on the 24" unit)?
@@randomrazr $2,999 CND
They do look better than a lot of the others out there.
I’m jelly or sad, I am usually one of the very first people to buy the new Ego products! Have all the lineups! Problem now is that this newer stuff are sooo much better!!! Just bought the two stage blower 2 years ago & now I wish Ego had a trade in option!!! 🙏🙏
I feel like ego released products for sale two years ago that were just concepts and now they are finally selling the real deal!! Still loyal to Ego!!
Oh man, I wish the 28" was out last year when I bought the Ego 24".
Love your videos very informative. I live in a city with a small driveway but the snow plows and neighbors can plow me in. I am looking for a blower to tackle snow plow created driveway blockage. In your opinion, would which would be a goodwill option?
Great Review... thanks 🫡
man, I wish I'd waited a year and get the 28 inch model and that new handle controlling the chute. it's so much smoother.
I have a snow blow business in Phoenix, AZ. I might try this, if we ever get word of possible snow. my wife got tired of me being bored, so she told me to go back to work, so I opened a snow plow business and hired a young attractive office girl. we have had any work for five years, but we ate having the time of our lives.
Wait you bought 2 newest model snow blowers in August for review?
Crazy but appreciate a lot!🎉
I’m going to get EGO 2 stage snowblower this year.
So thanks for the review.
Maybe 24” new one so my wife also can handle easily
I remember you asking Milwaukee when they were coming out with one!
I'm getting the LM2125SP mower and the SNT2405 snowblower delivered next Friday. I also grabbed an extra 7.5v battery at $100 discount so I'll have 4 - 7.5 AH batteries. Can't wait. Thinking about the Nexus power station too. Looking foreword to your winter review.
I wonder why you didn't just get the SNT2406-4 that comes with four 10.0Ah batteries and two 700W Turbo charger?
@@Jeo-What I had already busted the budget.
@@bluewolf4915 I thought the SNT2406-4 would be the same or cheaper price than the SNT2405 with the 280W per channel 560W charger plus buying the two extra 7.5Ah batteries while also get 5 year warranty on all four 10.0Ah batteries and 2 x 700W Turbo charger.
Yoooo u should be wearing boots CUZ some little thing falls on those twinkle toes n it’s off to the emergency room 😂 and so what is the forecast for tomorrow heavy snow storm in the end of summer 😂😂😂
Bought the Greenworks 2 stage last year. It has the steering capability. Nice feature. However I miss the heated grips and the joystick Shute control that my gas blower
Real Nice like !
I live in So. New England.
(Central CT)
I don't get enuff snow for the
28" @ $2100+ or the 24" @ $1400.
Those are the too Big, Artic Cats, for our area. Where skiing is, mostly done on man made snow.
But,
We all love looking at "Super Models", putting themselves together.
Ooophs,
I mean our former Prez, does ! 😮😅😂
I have to get one of these, they are really Nass like.
Thanks for the awesome video! Is this 24” an updated model to the one that was previously available? I have batteries that I can use from my mower so hopefully there is “tool only” option like the 24” that is currently available.
yes it's an update and still take all the EGO batteries but I would stay away from anything less than 5.0Ah not because of the shorter runtime but will overheat quickly unless used in extreme light snow. The main motor/auger/impeller are the same while the heated grip, joystick 2-in-1 chute control and turning assist are the new updates.
@@Jeo-What thanks buddy 👍
I’ve had my 24 inch gas Snapper since 2015. (I’m in Ohio too) Does a great job, but you make a good case for going with the bat-rays! No gas, no fumes, one less engine to maintain. Tempting!
But a battery that probably won't last longer then 6 years. Most ego battery's don't last longer then 2 years
@@aaronoconnor606 I just tested my first set of EGO Gen1 7.5Ah batteries manufactured in 2018 on the 3 years old EGO 24" 2-stage snow blower with auger set on ECO mode in 68F garage and it rain for 75min. before the low battery indicator shows red (still running) which is the same runtime as three years ago. Same set of batteries has been in use all year round for snow blower, leaf blower, trimmer, edger, mower, mist fan and invertor in temperature between -30F to 95F for 5 years now. As long as they are properly stored, cooled and charged they should last.
I live in Western Michigan along the shoreline. We get a lot of snow. My drive is about 170’ long. This blower looks impressive but I wonder if I can do the entire drive on one charge. Also I’m concerned about the battery life. At $549. per battery, we’re talking a lot of money for replacement. The blower has impressive features and Ego has a very good reputation.
I live just north of Grand Rapids with a similar sized drive way, what did you decide to go with?
@@mikeworkman1759 I got the 28” Eco. It’s working out ok. Very convenient and easy to use but battery life depends on several factors. For example that wet heavy snow we had a few weeks ago really ate up the battery. But an average snow works fine. Not sure how it will handle a heavy load from the snow plow given the fact the Eco is lighter weight than my Ariens but I think it will be fine. I suspect you usually get less snow than those of us along the lake shore. I’m comfortable the battery will last for me to do the entire drive and that was my concern. I have thought about the fact I won’t be able to recharge the batteries if I lose electricity so that’s something you might want to factor in.
After owning two of the 24" 2 stages from ego, im looking forward to the 28" I ordered. Should be here Friday. The 24" two stage has had an issue with the chute drifting while under load. Hopefully this motorized version fixed that issue. Other than that, Ego snow blowers are awesome. Will always own one.
Let me know how you like it 5648👊
Ego has a kit to fix the chute issue, it's been available for years, you just have to contact them to have one sent to you.
did you pick it up? any idea what the 28" box dimensions are? I'm wondering if the box will fit in the back of the wife's new VW Tiguan
i got the 28" ego snowblower 12ah battery cant wait to try mine
would it possible to ask you to measure the length from the tip of the auger to the back of the lower metal frame to get an idea how much room I need for storage and if all possible the detention of the impeller (11", 13", 14"..)? Tanks in advance.

Great presentation,
Check the ejection impeller to see if it's metal also. Hopefully it is. Heated grips are an excellent feature. I've used my gas one without gloves in -20 deg F and my hands never got cold at all. They will definitely cost you some battery time though. Anything that makes heat or cold uses up a lot of power compared to motors. Good luck with your new toys. I wonder if the auger spins faster with two batteries. I thought I heard you say that you were only using one so far. I don't know if either of these would do it for me since I'm on a mountain in New England near Canada. I get 3 ft snowstorms often. This is probably the brand I would choose though. Unless they change their name to Cyberdyne, lol
Both auger and the impeller are metal. Gas snow blower does product good amount of heat and also heavier that requires more physical strength so the operator may not get cold. In the EV car world where the wheel fenders and headlights freezes up due to lack of heat from the engine to melt them same would apply to an EV snow blower. I tried 5 pairs of Amazon "waterproof" heated gloves with my EGO 24" snow blower and failed. The only pair that works but required constant recharge was from Costco that costed $200.00 so I rather put the $200.00 towards the snow blower. Since most heated glove uses 27.5Wh for one hours operation, a set of 12.0Ah would provide 1,344Wh so it may not effect too much runtime and without the need of recharging the gloves.
@@Jeo-What I use my plow truck and stay nice and warm, lol. When I've had to use one of the snowblowers, I go for the one with the heated handgrips first. I've never needed heated gloves, but I'm a New Englander on the Canadian border so I'm used to cold weather. All I need is a hoodie and a knit hat for blizzard like conditions. Gloves & boots too naturally.
do you think TOROs 60v 2 stage blowers are betteR?
@@randomrazr based on all the videos I have seen on Toro as well as Greenworks, these snow blower are belt driven just like the current gas models and are more thirsty for energy and throw snow less far. It's like buying an EV running on timing belt which doors not make much sense to me. It's easier for the manufacture to produce the products by dropping an electronic motor on their gas unit but not energy efficient.
Great video, thank you! I want to get excited about this snow blower, I really do! but just not sure it can handle Boston (new England) heavy/wet storms. I'm out in the middle of storms all the time and my old Ariens is totally covered in snow. Just can't see how all the (very cool) hand warmer buttons, light buttons and shoot handle will not have issues. Plastic side skids seem ridiculous (why would they do that). Plastic and real cold weather simply don't (won't) coexist. Heard compartment for batteries closes with just magnets? If true, nuts. If water/snow gets in battery compartment. assuming that's going to create bad problems. So want to get this....BUT! Thanks again.
Appreciate the comment and we'll thought put feedback 👍
I agree with you about the motorized chute control and for that reason I'd go with the 24 inch. The motorized chute seems unnecessary and IMHO more of a toy. That said, I've had two Ariens, years ago an 8 HP and whatever their current 30" is and the design of those chutes are terrible. I live in WI where Ariens is based and though they're pretty rugged I've always thought their equipment looked like something fabricated from parts from Ace hardware. A plus in that's it's easy to fix and keep working but many times not the best design for its intended use.
The skids are intended to be sacrificial and if that's a concern I believe there are aftermarket skids you can buy made of steel. The inner fenders on most vehicles as well as underbody pans and deflectors (even some oil pans) have been made of plastic for years so that's actually a plus in my view. Engineered plastics can be just as good and sometimes better in many applications than metal.
As for the battery compartment, from what I've seen on another video it's designed for ingress of water and snow. I believe there are wells with drains below each battery and the design protects and keeps the contacts dry so not something that's a concern for me.
Frankly, I'm fed up with my current Ariens 30" blower. It's a beast to maneuver, doesn't throw wet heavy snow that far and I'm done with oil changes, spark plug changes, fuel stabilizers and carburetor tuneups. I'm just trying to decide if I really need the 24" or if I can get by with the single stage EGO.
Thanks for the video review. How wide is the 28" from side to side, I don't have access to one to measure myself. The website doesn't give the full width of this. Would be nice if this would fit through my door to the back of my house. In the winter between me and my neighbors blowing snow, the only access I have to the back is through the back door of my garage. It would be greatly appreicated if you could measure and respond. Again thanks for the video.
Would it be possible for you to provide the length measurement from the tip of the auger housing to the back of the lower metal cross bar that supports the handle? I would like to get an idea how long it is and if it would fit in an area in the garage. Thanks in advance.
IMHO I have seen these EGO units (and the Toro Electrics as well) and the one thing I notice is that they are light weight with tons of torque (due to electric power). The result is that the machine gets tossed about quite easy and I see this in the review videos when streamers hit heavy snow (such as what is typically left at the end of someone's driveway). I do find it is important to have that weight when using big power as the unit will plane quite easily up or side to side and the result is a wrestling match.
I think we could be friends... hahah I'm looking at the new 24" for myself for my first snow blower, thank you for your time making this video! We get excited about the same geeky things. :D
Those things sound like a jetliner powering up!
What do I like? I already have Ego.
What do I not like? My two batteries are both only the 5Ah so I don't know if I need to buy the kit with the two 10Ah batteries. I have a 3 car garage but the driveway isn't too long but it's very steep. I'm afraid this thing will just want to run away from me when I go down the driveway.
Neighbors looking at you in flip flops and a cutoff snowblowing your driveway in August.... 👁👄👁
Are the chutes metal? Up in Alberta, we get a few -40 days (C? F? that's where they merge... dang cold!)... plastic chutes on snowblowers have a way of cracking apart in that weather.
Looks neat though. They will probably work good
Bought the old 24” last year 😭 that 28” would be perfect for me.
just sold my bare 24" (kept the 10.0Ahs for spare) today as it went like a hot cake on FB with 15 reply in an hour.... waiting to order the 28" when listed at Lowe's/Rona in Canada now...🤞
... two days later.... order placed for next week delivery!!!😃
Need to see them throw 8" of wet snow. Also what is typical battery life and replacement cost? I have an Ego mower and weed whacker that I love. Both about 3 years old. Batteries still decent. But others will want to know if this can move wet snow.
I look forward to the day of a riding snowblower.
Really want one of these. Problem is i have a steep slope to my driveway, and i hear these things freewheel when going downhill. Unfortunately, i may be shopping for a tracked Honda instead.
Dang ol' batrays I tell you hwat!
When they make them remote control i would buy one. 😊
If the battery said Hemi on it, I’d have to get me one.
you need a set to run it properly so, two🤣
Which model would you recommend, if it hardly ever snows where you live, but you’re still thinking about it…
They have smaller versions than both of these. They were just released, but the others have been on the market for some time now
Dude, I love your trailer! What is it? Can you tell me about it?
I’m a service center for gas and electric machines if you need parts good luck I can’t find a parts breakdown anywhere and can’t get parts for the egos. This company is from China
Have you noticed if the scraper bar is slightly bent - either bending downwards or upwards? Mine has a slight bend upwards. Is this common? Thanks!
I own a few Ego toys, but not sure why I watched this when I live in Sydney.
What is the over all dimension of the 28" and the 24"? Thanks
Would it be possible for you to let us know of the total width of the impeller intake size?
I prefer my Allet liberty 43 , plus i have all cartridges for it , and i sold my ego blower and bought a YARBO blower s1, and the thing that sold me on the Yarbo is i can sit in my home and use it remotely
@Tool Review Zone, My brother asked me, "Buckeye - what is that, some kind of NUT ?
Haha, Ohio 👊
I know they're probably great but I want to see a review on an EGO BACKPACK LEAF BLOWER. And hopefully some numbers on the run times. I need a new blower but can't jump into electric if the run time is weak. Batteries aren't cheap my friends...
Milwaukee finally has one as well, usually their runtime claims are very accurate. I believe on Max you get 30 minutes with two batteries, and an hour with four. That's HD8.0.
Yea powersteering is nice. Been around for a while now
I’m here in Florida. We don’t have snowblowers. We have sand blowers.
The evil twin would have come in handy.
This appears to be the beginning of an apocalyptic movie, especially with the motorized chute. Just wait until they connect to the mothership using the neighbor's wifi...
EV city snow plow that also clear all driveway for every house in the winter season through satellite GPS system.... yes please!
I understand not introducing snow blowers when the 1st snow falls but introducing them when a good part of the US is hitting record heat seems weird. But hey the electric EGO snow blowers are cool.
Best time to buy them when it hot out they on sale 🤷🏻♂️
Are they actually on sale...I can't say one way or another I live in NC@@JohnSmith-kv1uo
@@Sniper269 I'm sure they are i don't know I never bought one I just pay kids to do it
Topguns #1. 🏆
No snow in my area have the EGOride mower and walk mower To bad the snowblowers can’t be used with leaves or pine straw! Love my EGO mowers the ride mower uses 4-6 10AHbatteries the walk mower uses one. 4 batteries came with the ride mower. It came with a large charger that can charge the batteries all at once-charge the walk mower battery,too! Kinda like charging my Toyota BZ4X electric car. For me no more gas motor equipment. Gave. Away my gas mowers.
I think the only thing better than those EGO beasts is living where there is no need for them!!! Fun video Clint! Except you spent a little too much time playing with your "joystick" and your knob!!
Due to the angle of my driveway, I can get a pool of water at the bottom of it. That's the biggest reason I haven't dared get one. How high up do the batteries sit? Is the bottom of the battery container waterproof or does it have drain holes?
Batteries are to be installed in the gray cabinet at the back of the snow blower which is about 6" from the ground and has drain holes inside the cabinet incase the snow gets in during battery swap.
The comparable Ryobi models seem to be significantly less expensive but there are many negative reviews about build quality and run time. I wonder how they compare head to head in real world environment
"Bat-Ray" Powered!
any idea what the 28" box dimensions are? I'm wondering if the box will fit in the back of the wife's new VW Tiguan
Just barely got the 24 model into my Highlander which I believe has a little more cargo capacity than the Tiguan, so I assume the 28 box will be a bit bigger. Hope that helps.
They coming with that top price too tho... Still want one :)
I work for a Ego warranty repair shop and I will say their constantly blowing up i do 4-5 ego products a day . Make sure you register it and your batteries so you have a valid warranty
just wondering which part usually blowing up and how often does the 2-stage snow blower shows up for repair?
Typically it's the control boards/ battery management system that fail. I have repaired many 2 stage snow blowers and it is a real pain to do that job. The more it snows the more that blow. Since spring it's been nothing but Lm2100sp, 2130sp, 2150sp mowers, dead self propelled or won't power up. I normally do 10-15 ego products a week
@@Bassin07Si Do you repair other cordless tool brands and how do they compare ?
@georgew1498 we do sell Stihl and toro battery powered machines and I have yet to see one come back
@@Bassin07Si interesting and thank you for the additional experience. Definitely going to dig deeper into this matter.
Dewalt needs to up their outdoor lawn/home equipment game. Ego looking great.
You might need to start doing some pushups or something bro, your outta breath putting this together 😂
they have a single lol
I havent bought into a lawn system yet. Is ego still the best future bet?
Ego is awesome.
EGO BABY !!!!!
Does anyone know if the impellers on these are metal or plastic?
Not directly related but Dewalt finally has 60V lawn mower!!! Please cover that.
I had a to strophic failure with my 24". The impeller shaft only turns about half way then totally jams. Im guessing the transmission has failed. Ive been on the phone for over a week with non technical idiots. They are trying to void the warranty because I took the impeller assembly off. Had to escalate the case two times and now they want me to drive it 3 hours to a repair center. Im thinking about just parting it out on Ebay. Just ordered the green works from Costco. Comes with 3 batteries and at least Costco will stand by it. I've seen bad reviews on the green works brand too though.
There seem to be many negative comments on the lack of EGO support.
So where did the piece of rubber go?
I am a little confused, what's new about these? These as far as I know have been out for awhile. I saw a review of these made in Jan 2021 on "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" channel. You might want to give it a look, he actually uses it after heavy winter storm. It looks like about same size driveway+/- you have. Definitely would not work for me based on what he shows, my driveway about 3x his.
I’m ordering the 28 when it comes in Sept.
any idea what the 28" box dimensions are? I'm wondering if the box will fit in the back of the wife's new VW Tiguan
Tool Time ... Tool Time!!! YEA!!!
Cool tool but how long does it last on a cold day.
The current 24" model would allow me to finish 5 x 4 car driveways plus all their sidewalks with 6" snow in 5 F temperature.
How do get around the temperature limits? Ego batteries don't work below 5C. As I found cutting wood last winter
Say what now? I believe that 41F here and that is well about the working limit. Seems like there may be some other issue there
I was blowing snow in -25C/-13F with windshield of -35C/-31F many times in the past three years without any issue. It's the warmer wet snow storm that causes more efforts in the beginning and the end of winter.
I'm really hoping it works well against wet, heavy snow.
It doesn't
It worked way batter than the EGO single stage unit and for what I have read as good as any 2-stage gas snow blowers. I have no issues with it for the past 2 years and will replace the 24" with the 28" for sure.
@@jedeckert8912 Do you have personal experience you can share? I've watched a lot of RUclips videos showing impressive performance of both the single and 2-stage Ego's. My local Ace hardware people tell me they sell out of them and rarely ever get a complaint and that's in SE Wisconsin.
You got some BIG egos there
Why does the nrw 24 inch have horrible cable management compared to the 28 inch and even the previous model looked cleaner?
Does the company offer battery replacement if it ever goes bad?
Yes
