Awesome video! We literally just went to Ace and bought one of these largely because of your review. I have a big Ariens gas snow blower that I call "the beast". It does a great job on major snows, but my wife won't touch it. She actually wanted this Ego after watching our 82 yr old neighbor use his yesterday (and after seeing your video this morning). I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to the next snow! My wife has already named it "the Tesla".
I bought one two years ago and it's very convenient if you don't let the snow pile up high. It's also a very good full body workout as I am literally sweating while using it even when the temperature is well below freezing.
The "Tesla" 😁
@@alexanderthemeek The full body workout sounds like the opposite of what I'm looking to get into. Thats the reason Id buy a machine, wtf...
I also have a monster ariens and needed something smaller for light snows 2-5" hate shoveling.. ps awesome video!!!
The tesla ........ gay.
My snow blowers are 11 and 13 and they have only gotten better with age. They get stronger every year, but they do complain more about having to go out and do it.
Thank you very much! We just bought one based on your review. So far it is great, easy to operate, throws the snow well out of the way, no jams, gets a little snagged on our driveway as the tarmac isn’t smooth, no problem on the sidewalk, managed to chew up the day old snow no problem.
Yes, good way to put it. It gets snagged on some surfaces.
Great video! Just used mine Ego for the 1st time, the one without metal auger, and love it. I have been a fan of Ego products having a mower, blower and weed eater and all the batteries are interchangeable. I wish I didn't wait so long to get it. Bought my house 5 winters ago and kept saying, "we won't get that much snow next year" and we have and I getting to old to shovel that much!!
Awesome video. Your video was the icing for my Cake. I LOVE EGO Products. I already have the Lawn mower, String trimmer and the blower. This snow blower will complete my set. Thanks for your insights and well spoken review.
Thank you for this great review!!! I pre-purchased this model yesterday, it arrives in a few days! Can't wait to try it and save my back and also the potential risk of having a heart attack...I went with the steel auger vs the model with the hard rubber paddle, I know the paddle swipes closer to the ground but I feel they wouldn't break up hard icy snow and the bigger chunks at the end of the drive where the plows block you in.... Thanks for sharing!!! 👌😊
Great review! Thank you! I bought one but it hasn’t snowed enough yet. I have the EGO mower and string trimmer which are very good and the 650 CFM blower which is exceptional. I use it to blow snow off my car as well as clear off the walkway if it has longer snow on it.
Thanks for the thorough review. I liked seeing that you are actually enjoying it.
Yes, I love products that bring the fun back to some activity!
Great review! I am sorry you ran into your hose, but loved hearing about the built in safety. I love my EGO lawn mower and am sure I will love this snow blower too😁☺️
Great review. And even better that you included analysis of wearable parts and replacement sources.
I normally don’t get excited over video reviews. But I do like your review on this unit😊
Kickass review, brother. Had other reviews not convinced me to pull the trigger (mine comes tomorrow), yours would have.
Excellent video and review of this snowblower. Thank you.
I would have Never, ever even considered an electric snow blower! What an eye opener!
Very thorough review! Thanks
Great video. You do the opening experience like I would!
Excellent video and analysis! Thanks.
Went with 2 stage ego recently and it handled 6inch wet snow with ease. I used to have single stage gas toro and would have to go out a few times a snow storm and now I go once and its done.
2 stage ego is the way to go.
I'm actually looking at one of these after having a husqvarna gas single stage blower not starting the following season. I work with a crew clearing downed trees from rivers and use batter powered winches that are amazing. I'm going to sell the gas snowblower after its repaired. I LOVE the ability to rotate the chute on the fly as so many dont have that and its a total pain. I also wanted a metal auger since a rubber one sucks when going through after the plows have gone through and build up a pile in front of the driveway
Awesome review…thank you!
We are going to buy one.
You are a great reviewer! Great job, great editing, great footage. This snow blower is now on my list. What I really want to know is what your older brother, Phil Collins, thinks about it and can you drum a good as he can?
The thing with ego (or any battery powered equipment) is you need to get into their eco system . I've gone ego, lawn mower, string trimmer (by far the best there is) blower, hedge trimmer...etc. very,very happy! Had a 7.5 battery go bad was replaced without any drama whatsoever! Always by the "kit" if you can. Like you said it's the batteries that cost.
Hey bikee4 I'm considering getting the string trimmer/edger from Ego and possibly the single stage snow blower. But I've heard that its a nightmare dealing with their warranty dept or the 800 number. Were you really happy with your battery experience?
Need one of these. On the fourth year of my battery powered EGO lawn mower and the 7.5 A batteries are still going strong.
Hey bud i own an snt2114 (same machine as your but comes with two 7.5 amp batteries). Try to lift the front up Alittle bit because from what it looks like your going to destroy your scraper and a lot of people have done that and got it down to the screws and shaved the screws down. 👍
That actually looks like one of the better electric ones..👍🏽
Excellent detailed video. Only issue I would have with this Snow Blower is I don't have a paved drive way. Hopefully there is adjustment so it doesn't throw rocks.
Remember with tools you get what u pay for. The snow-joe is most likely suitable for what u were blowing 2"
I have the Ego that you're reviewing. My only minor gripes are when u fold the handle for storage is that u can't lock it in place. Also the cover for the batteries should have some kind of rubber to prevent moisture from getting in & when u lift the lid to have a better degree of opening so that it's not constantly closing on your hand. Lastly where the inside above the auger for the light housing can get a build-up of snow. What I do is spray wd-40 in that area to cut down on the build-up. Again none of these minor gripes are a deal breaker. Works fantastic, no more gas for me!
Thanks for the great review.
I have an Ego+ snowblower with the 7.5 batteries that's 7yrs old so it has the rubber auger that's been really good to me. But I'll upgrade to the steel auger next year. The one thing I'll tell anyone is to get it with the 7.5 batteries with the snowblower because you'll save two or three maybe 4 hundred dollars when they're bundled with the snowblower. Those 7.5 batteries cost over $400 each when bought separately.
Stick with the rubber
It’s easier to push if you retrofit it with some skid shoes.
fantastic review
When you get older you may appreciate a drive motor on the wheels, but right now you are younger and the exercise is good for you, pushing the unit around manually. Although you do have a little bit of an incline coming out of the backyard. I recently got an ego 2 stage this winter, (2022), and yeah, love it, but I'm much older and probably need self-propelled. If I was your age the single-stage unit would be plenty.
Nice review video!
I have Ego SNT2114. It's great. I used on the piles of heavy snow left by plow trucks. I was worried if its motor can handle it or not. it did okay, but it was such a physical work lol
The ends of steel housing look like they are getting beaten up a bit. I think itt's a nature of single stage blowers..
To protect housing and reduce stress, I installd skid pads for 2nd stage snow blowers. As for Warranty, Mmmm 🤫🤔
@mikemike yea I know.. $50 with tax/piece here in Canada. It wears much faster than I thought cuz of a very bumpy surface in my area.
I could just go with keep replacing the scraper bar, but I'm more with protecting the housing.
I saw multiple guys on youtube who had the same Ego, and their bottom of the housing was beaten up.
I installed the skid shoes sooner, so the damage on the housing is very minimal so far.
I have had my older version with the rubberized type auger for over 5 years and still running great, I live in Wisconsin so yes it has seen much snow. Just wish it was self-propelled, and know you will find each and every crack in the sidewalk... lol
THX ALOT for the review...i just ordered one cause of this review........ with the 7.5 batteries...looking forward to not shoveling ....had a 2 stage cub cadet monster snowblower but sold it when we moved last year....hind sight....question ? should be ok to store outside during winter under a covered deck with also a snowblower cover right ? as long as i take out the batteries everytime and store them inside the house ? thx again...cheers from chilly Canada
I'll be changing to this snow blower over my current gas powered blower that won't start if it's cold out doors!
I have one too. It works good but it needs small like roller blade wheels on the front when you have to push it through heavier snow and up hills.
Thx for the info. Just some questions, how long does it take to charge and how long does the batteries last
Sweet! Try some 7.5 batteries when you get a chance 😎 I just bought them for the 2-stage Ego.
I will see what I can do in the future
Do you have uni stone pavers on your driveway? If so, does the blower sometimes get stuck between stones if one stone is even a tiny bit higher than the one next to it? One more point, with such a big driveway, wouldn't you have opted for a bigger blower?
Do you recommend combining batteries of different amperage to operate this snowblower? for instance one of 7.5amp and another of 5amp?
Hello. Unless I missed it, the 2nd snow bower...how long did the two batteries take to charge and how long did they last? Thanks
I bought same with steel auger but this as the first time I used a snow blower. May be im making a mistake somewhere or missing something. The problem I saw was there was a very thin layer of snow left after using this and which turned into ice and got tricky for me to remove as it became really hard ice later. All the homes near me who used a snow blower had no residue and there were clear walk ways shown on their side....may be the steel auger is not low enough or am i missing something.....any suggestions will help. Thanks
I'm sold.. I was gonna get the snow Joe but if it's bad then I don't mine speeding extra money for Good product..
Yeah, I bought it from Ace Hardware. It’s great but I didn’t know you have to press the button and then pull back to bail to get it to start.
Snow is light and not much of it. It doesn’t throw very far.
Nice design, simple, Shute control excellent, easy controls.
How would this work on grass areas❓ Would it destroy the grass or would it be okay❓
NICE REVIEW! A REAL CLOSE LOOK AT THE JOEBLOW ION 100 VOLT, RYOBI TWO STAGE 40 VOLT AND YES EVEN THE EGO TWO STAGE, REVEALS SIMILARITIES LEADING ME TO WONDER IF THEY WERE ALL MADE BY THE SAME CHINESE "TOY" FACTORY. I ALMOST BOUGHT EITHER THE TORO 724 OR 824 QXE SNOWMASTER WITH THE CRAPPY CHINESE "LONCIN" ENGINES (212cc or 252cc). I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED THE HONDA 720. THE HONDA 190cc ENGINE IS AN "OVERHEAD CAM" WHICH MEANS THE "RUBBER CAM BELT" IS EMERSED IN OIL AS IT ROTATES THROUGH THE CRANK CASE.
TO BE CLEAR, I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY "OVERHEAD VALVE". I DID INDEED SAY "OVERHEAD CAM". RUBBER OVERHEAD CAM BELTS IN CAR ENGINES ARE VERY COMMON. THEY ARE EXTERNAL TO THE CRANKCASE AND ARE "NOT" EMERSED IN ENGINE OIL. I THINK I'M SOLD ON THIS EGO SNT2114 STEEL AUGER MACHINE. CHEERS.
Seems mine doesn’t throw the snow very far - and I have to go back with a shovel to clear off the “mist” that falls - is that normal for most snowblowers?
Just used mine in maybe 2 inches of light snow. Extremely quiet. Went through the snow easily, but gets caught on every nook and cranny like when sidewalk sqaures don't meet up perfectly. It kind of felt "self propelled" on asphalt driveway but felt like i had to push it on cement sidewalk. It feels cheep and platsticy. I'm not sure how it will handle the heavy ice and snow that the city plows push up into my driveway. The snow shoots out great, but some snow juts out the front , so never expect a totally clean drive way. If I were you, I'd ask a neighbor if you could try theirs, before u invest in one. I'll keep mine, but I'm keeping my Toro single stage as back up as that TEARS through snow.
Is it hard pushing it? Like deep snow are you having to really push hard? Thanks
I'm a LANDSCAPE pro have gone all ELECTRIC this year tired of gas/ oil mix and Deal with tuneup going to get snow blower this winter
I wish people would wait until they get a deep wet snow to do the reviews. These things are not cheap, so we want to see how they perform in the most difficult conditions. People never talk about plow piles at the end of the driveway performance, and they never say if they are propelled forward by the impeller like gas powered ones are.
I checked this out, didn't like that the rubber pads do not touch the surface it's blowing. It relys on the blade scraping the snow, ice surface up to where the blade can grab and throw the snow. Here we get ice and hard snow build up and this machine would be hard to work here because you have to push hard to break up that hard packed snow and ice. So I'm sticking with the reliable Toro which has the rubber blade scarping on the ground and also making it easy to move along the surface as the blades are pulling you forward.
I have been using the same Toro 1 stage for over twenty years. The rubber auger STILL shows no signs of wear and it cleans right down to bare cement just exactly li,e it did when it was new.
The only problem is it's not self-propelled. I have EGO products - Lawn Mower - String Trimmer - Edger - Hedge Trimmer. I prefer the single-stage self-propelled TORO snowblower. It'll be nice if you could compare.
Make a video when you get 5-8inches of snow please! Thank u
Hello out there - how good is on a platform of Pattern concrete driveway , is it going to damage the concrete pathway ?? is it only good on Asphalt driveway ?? if anybody can put some light on that - would be very grateful !!
are there any reviews of this in deep snow?
Did you get any snow in the battery compartment? Great video!
No, the battery compartment does seal fairly well, and I did not get any snow in the compartment, even with as powdery as it was.
Anything is better if you don't have to shovel
Looks like a good machine
Would it handle 1-2ft snow ✌️🇨🇦
Gooch, are those batteries utilized in their other tools like the lawnmower and etc?
Yes, the batteries work in all of their other tools.
I prefer single stage snow blowers with rubber paddles. They clear the snow really down to the pavement and help to pull the snow blower forward so you have to push less.
True, however after using both over the years there are plenty of benefits for the steel auger that I prefer, and I am more than impressed by how clean my driveway was.
I do not feel my rubber unit does pull forward at all as it does not touch the ground like the Snow Joe ion 100V. I actually swap out the rubber with the steel auger half way through last snow season and cutting through snowplow piles and wet snow is actually easier. That been said, I am enjoying the effortless self-propelled snow blowing with the EGO two stage unit now with the single stage as a backup or light duty unit.🙂
@@Jeo-What Glad to see you got the 2 stage, George. It's a beast!
The rubber is far better at cleaning down to the pavement. The steel is better for heavy icy stuff at the end of the driveway
Great review! Thank you! Could you please reply and state how long the batteries take to charge? TIA
It takes about a hour..I love mine
@Michael Turner I just got mine the other day! Used it once and I love it! Altho it is VERY sensitive to uneven surfaces.
Is this self propelled? Otherwise, easy to push through the snow?
How many inches of snow on ground ?
What speed were you running it on?
What about heavy wet snow 6 plus inches deep
How was the hose?
Buy the Toro, better quality , this was barely 4 inches of snow. Home Depot has a 30 day return policy. Definitely shop around.
Great cennel
So what's the catch? Is it cheap?
Get the 2 stage!
Could this be stored all winter in a garage with no heat? Or would it freeze parts and not work properly?
Had mine stored inside a non-heated shed or simply left in the backyard in the deep cold outside (many -30 Celsius nights in January ) while I kept the batteries inside for recharging and in between uses. Machine starts and works flawlessly.
How long did it take to charge for both batteries when you received it..
From my expérience, I would say about 45 mins per battery.
Is it self propelled/driven?
This is an absolute no go ! We just had 28 degree temps and maybe 2 or 3 inches and this did a terrible job ! You feel like you are PUSHING your way through the snow. On rare occasions did it go smoothly. And like other reviewers have said, it snags on every nook and cranny between side walks and driveways. As like Snow Joe shovels, some of the snow turns into a mist and spaysr in front of the blower, putting snow on areas you just cleaned. I'm 70 and didn't want to have to use man power to push the snow. Push, pull back, push, pull back. Ridiculous ! It took me 34 minutes to do the driveway and sidewalk, and the both batteries were down to 1 of 4 lights charged after starting with a full charge. Feels cheap. I am SOOO GLAD I kept my Toro Gas. I can't imagine trying to get through the snow the snow plows leave at the end of my driveway.
Wish you had more snow
Today's teenagers,,could make money with that ,,E snow blower 😂😂
Too bad you didn't have the Snow Joe for this review. Side by side with this Ego would have been great - same amount of snow, same conditions, etc. Great review tho.
$699! I wouldn't hesitate. Unfortunately in Canada Ego products are overpriced by a couple hundred dollars or more, while most of the competition comes at similar prices with the US, after currency conversion.
You have to try Ego products, they are the best. only electric brand i will buy
Living in Iowa must suck with all this snow.
@Sam Buffalo?! How did you handle the big snow storm?
What a cute little toy.
Are those the ones they sell down at Ace Hardware Tech Gooch?
That is correct!
Is it heavy or hard to handle? Any muscle or back strain? Could it be handled by women and older folks?
Easy to handle. It is not self propelled, but I had no issue, and my wife or kids could easily handle it.
Much easier to handle than the 2 stage.
Not terribly impressed. I can see how much arm power it takes to push through what looks like about 3” of snow; my Toro single stage gas thrower with rubber paddles used to handle 5” or more of wet icy snow with ease. Really I find the biggest issue with small units isn’t the auger power, but rather the small narrow tires. It’s a little like trying to steer a shopping cart across an ice rink.
I wish these size machines were self propelled. I'm in a wheelchair so need the propelling to pull me with it.
Two inches of snow isn't much of a test. When you have 8-10 inches and a snow plow drift that has set up for a few hours, that is a test.
How much does it cost
Does not ship to Alaska :(
2112?! Love it already only because RUSH has a great song named 2112!
Does the charger come with the snow blower as well?
The SNT2112 comes with 2 5Ah batteries and a dual port fast charger.
My older mother has never had a snow blower and this non-self-propelled one was recommended to her. I feel bad for her.
I live in Upstate New York and this wouldn't work for me
Same anything over 12 inches and that machine is useless
Don't be afraid to read the instructions first.
The 21" snow joe i had, fell apart within the first season of use. The frame had stress cracks growing in it from clearing out mostly powder and some crusty snow. I would never recommend anyone get their product.
Wait till you see how expensive the blade and paddles are 😂
You may have to change the blade yearly if is heavily used.
cute little thing LoL Bet it doesnt go through anything over a foot of packed snow
try egos 10amp hour battery
Two 10Ah batteries will get pretty heavy and ware out the scrapper bar even faster unless the unit is retrofitted with skid shoes: ruclips.net/video/TOzJYDF544I/видео.html
Great blower but poorly designed on the scraper bar. It will chew up the scraper bar after 2x of usage, and making it hard to push the blower. I have to improvise by adding the skid shoes on both sides of the auger box. I used the Ego skid shoes. Wow, night and day! Now, I don't have to worry about chewing up the scraper bar.
