We got hammered with 12" of snow here the other day & couldn't wait to put the Ego snow blower to the biggest test so far.
We are pleasantly pleased to say the Ego 56v snow blower chewed up the snow & spit it out like a pro!
After chewing through the 12 inches of snowfall, we tackled a 2 foot snow drift that formed in our wind tunnel driveway.
After pushing through with the initial pass, we took 1/4 & 1/2 passes til we got it done.
In case you couldn't tell, we are overly happy with our purchase of the Ego 56v 21 inch single stage snow blower.
The bottom line:
I have been using snow blowers for decades.
The Ego 56v snow blowers handled deep snow, 12"+ & a 2 foot snow drift just as well or better as any gas snow blower I have ever used.

10-12inches are rookie numbers here in Canada and this snowblower still does great up here.

Great review! I am in Detroit and my 20 year old snowblower struggled with that storm from a few weeks ago. My neighbor has an Ego snowblower and he thought the snow we got wasn't an issue for him. He didn't get any bad drifts like I did. After seeing the Ego cut through your drifts, I am a true believer.
Awesome tora!
I knew the Ego was a good machine, but when we got slammed a few weeks back I was skeptical,
The Ego powered right through :)
I'll never go gas again!!! Lol!
Go Tigers!!!

I've been watching these Ego's for quite awhile, and comparing them to other cordless snow blowers. I wanted the Ego, because I already have the leaf blower and grass trimmer (I love 'em both). When it came down to crunch time being early Nov., I found your reviews. That was the deciding factor to go ahead and order one from Wal Mart. The 1 foot of snow showed me that it should be worth the money, as well as the availability of spare parts should I break something (later on). Thanks for a great review. Well done!
Thanks Duane!
I have loved this blower since day one. Always hated the old stinky blowers & the problems that come with them. My wife would never use them but has no issues with this one.
I just got my blower out yesterday & put away my EGO lawn mower, which I absolutely love as well :)
They are on their 3rd & 4th seasons & running great.
2 best lawn tools I've ever had 😍😁

Thanks for the demo. Mine is getting delivered tomorrow. I chose the steel augers and 7.5 ah batteries. Very excited! Utah gets some pretty good snow and I have confidence this little beast will do fine. Done with gas and oil.
Awesome McKinnon!
That machine looks like a beast too :)
I thought about that one as well but couldn't justify the extra cost. I think it will be well worth it if you get that much snow.
Second season now & couldn't be happier with the blower 😀
Utah looks like an amazing place & would really love to spend some time there some day.
Thanks for dropping by my friend & Merry Christmas to you and yours!

@S Mine has the 5's
Run time in that deep snow on the 5.0ah?
I'm hopeful, cause I bought the same exact ego snowblower, but haven't used it yet ! I've had the ego lawnmower for several years, and their quality is outstanding !!
Awesome Greg!
I have the mower as well & couldn't be happier with both.

It's fun that I actually look forward to doing the snow now. We would usually just shovel to avoid the hassle & STINK of the old gas blower.
Now I come in after clearing snow with a smile instead of smelling like an oil field or cold sweats from shoveling :)
My wife even likes using it & will often have the snow done before I even get the chance 😃

I'm so pleased to see you do a demo of the Ego 56 snow blower! It's great that it can handle so much snow in one charge. I'm impressed with how it can handle 12 inches with no problems. I need an upgrade on my snow blower and this is Ego 56 a possibility! Do I need to get a second charger though?
Awesome Dinh!
I definitely recommend giving the Ego 56v a good look when you decide to upgrade your snow blower. I couldn't be any happier with it & no more fumes & noise!!
You don't really need a second charger. I just charge one fully & leave the other one on the charger until needed. They hold a charge for a long time & charging time is quick.
Let me know if you get one. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hope all is well with you :)

Thanks for a great review! I'm 77 and we got hammered in NJ last year so looking to get a battery powered blower to handle at least 8 inches of snow (I'll give up and pay for the expense of a professional on the higher stuff) but this unit looks awesome at least for the light fluffy stuff. In NJ if you don't move it fast somehow it turns into heavy wet stuff which this might not handle so well but I'm impressed on the light stuff. Fantastic review .... thanks again!!
Awesome D!!
I hope at 77 I am still doing snow removal :)
We had a lot of different types of snow last season & this EGO did great all year.
I was a little skeptical in the beginning about a battery powered snow blower, but it did just as good or better than my old gas craftsman blower.
I actually get excited to do the snow now & my don't mind either. It's also about 50% easier maneuver than a gas blower.
I was so happy with the EGO snow blower that my kids got me a ego lawn mower for my b-day.
I only wish that I had decided to go battery earlier. Couldn't be happier to be rid of the gas, oil, stink & fuss!

@@RCInsiders Loved your response!! Just one more question - how did it do on the mass of icy piles left at the end of the driveway after the township plows the street. I kind of think I'll will have to "manhandle" the end of the driveway (the gas blowers are just too strong for me to control not to mention the maintenance and storage issues, lol) but just wanted to know your experience. Thanks for all your help and that wonderful review.
@@dthomas4501 No problem!
The end of the driveway was no problem, depending on how long I let it go & how warm it got and then how cold overnight. If I got right on it it was no problem. If I got lazy & let it melt & freeze then there was a shovel with my name on it! :)
@@RCInsiders I gotcha. Thanks!!!

Gas throwers will start a lot easier if you use Tru Fuel or some other ethanol free fuel. It can be purchased in the lawn and garden section in big box stores or Amazon. It comes in 40:1 and 50:1 premixed and also straight gas for 4 cycle engines.
Hey Andy,
Thanks for the tips.
I think that instead of heading out to get another additive to add to the gas blower, I'll just pop in a battery & get to work 😜😀
Do you have a cordless snow blower?

#RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders I have all gas machines for the yard and a Toro gas snow thrower. If I need a new one one day then the electric is a viable option. I just wanted to see one of them handle some serious snow. I'm near Chicago, so we'll either get 15 feet this season, or 15 inches. Hahahahaha. The small gas engines run much better on ethanol free fuel. It breaks down to $20 per gallon, but they will start when you need them. Still easier to hit the "On" switch tho.
@@andykalnins9846 Awesome Andy!
Same thing here in Detroit. Keeping fingers crossed for the 15 inches Lol.

@@RCInsiders Cool, I will watch it right now. That’s probably the same one my neighbor has. Looks like it works well. If any of them ever need replacing I won’t hesitate to go electric. The technology will only get better as time passes. My dad bought Stihl, Echo and Honda machines, so knowing my luck they will last forever and I won’t get the chance to buy electric. 😂.

Love my Tigers but also a lifelong Cubs fan 😎
Lol ... I enjoyed watching your video. You made me laugh with your humor. You also answered a question I had with how long the battery lasted. I just bought one of these but haven't had to use it yet. I hope mine will do as well. I live here in Cleveland Ohio and we do get our bad snow days. I also seen a video that said if you spray the chute and the auger with a silicone spray, it will help keep the snow and ice from sticking and possibly clogging up the chute. I will be trying that out too.
Awesome Deckie!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😀
That is a great tip. When the snow is real wet & heavy I spray everything down with silicone. It really does make a good difference.

I would never give up my gas blower for any of these battery operated things. Any battery operated piece of equipment starts losing power as soon as you start using it. My gas blower has never let me down and it's a mid 80's model.
Wow
That's great that you have gotten that long out of it.
This blower has not lost any power & I haven't spent a dime on gas, oil or any maintenance whatsoever.
It's extremely quiet compared to my old gas blower, lighter & much easier to operate.
And I haven't stank like an oil refinery in over 3 years 😜😁
There is no way, other than necessity, that I would ever even think about going back to gas.

@@user-gi4pe5gr6e No, they are not. Nothing we do as humans is. Your alternative is a shovel, but if you are concerned about the environment, don't go back into your heated home when you are done with the snow. And be sure to bike to work :) The batteries are much cheaper than the gas & oil & maintenance I would have used over the years. Not to mention the gas I would have used to go get the gas & oil.

#RCInsiders
So I've been researching and almost pulled the trigger last night on this guy, but wanted to do further research on gas powered blowers. The guy from Ace told me I'd spend a lot of money for batteries as they look to run $350 per battery, but should last between 5-7 years. I'm not sure what I think about that. Gas powered seems to be more of a pain to maintain, but should last longer if properly maintained. I'm seriously considering this unit especially after watching your video. The other unit I was looking at was an Arians compact gas blower.
Hey Greg,
At the end of the day I was just so sick of smelling like an oil refinery & all the hassle of getting gas in a can, constant maintenance & almost always fighting to start my gas unit.
I actually look forward to doing the snow now. This blower is light & easy to push.
It's so quiet compared to my gas unit that I could probably run it at night & no one would even hear it.
The batteries are about 250 on Amazon - amzn.to/3nh0SlU
You can also get off brand batteries for a lot cheaper but don't come with the EGO 3 year warranty.
If I get 5 years out of it, that's a bout 50 bucks per year. I'll call that a win to say good bye & good riddance to my old stinky gas unit 😃
I would consider this the best purchase I've made in years.
Do you get a lot of snow?
I usually do all of mine & 2 neighbors front walks & still have about 25% juice left.

@@RCInsiders I’m in central PA so we usually get a couple good storms a year, usually at least one good snowfall over 20”. I’m tired of using the old shovel to get myself out of my driveway, plus the older I get the less I want to be out there with a shovel. Yes, I thought the batteries were 7.5 ah, but looks like they are 5.0 ah, which are a little cheaper. The guy at Ace last night tried to talk me out of going with a battery powered unit, but seeing how well it seems to do makes me really rethink things. My driveway is not very big and I usually do the sidewalk, then hop over to my neighbors house to do her driveway since she’s older. I’m sure this unit would be able to do all of that. Your video was quite impressive. I was looking at their 2 stage blower as well, but that one does not seem to get as good of reviews and seems to have some issues so I’ll probably stay away from that one. I do like the fact that it is so light. I was pushing it a little at Lowes last evening and it definitely would not be intimidating if my wife ever had to use it. I do believe I may give this one a try. Thanks for helping me out with that decision! :)
@@gmartin34341 I’m not sure what reviews you are seeing on the 2 stage but the videos I’ve watched show it tearing through snow no problem and a very impressive throw distance. The one issue it had was the chute not being secure and sometimes turning on its own but Ego addressed this issue last season very quickly.
My recommendation ,if money is a major issue, is first see if you can get yourself a refurbished unit. That is what I did 4 years ago. I paid 420 for it with the quick charger and 2 5 amp hr batteries.
Other than that, go with the new single stage with the metal auger.
I’d also like to add, look at the Toro unit as well. It is a very solid machine. The only real issue I see with it is the chute control rod, it is stupid short for some reason.
@@gmartin34341 You are most welcome, My wife has no problem with this unit, She would never use my gas unit, but now the snow is often taken care of before I even get home :)
is that a typical snowfall for you guys? Looks like a nice light dry snow? Do you ever get that much snow and it is a heavy wet snow? I think that is where you will have some issues. We get kind a half and half and my Ego handles it great its just the plowed snow at the beginning of the driveway i have trouble sometimes. I have to hit the top then hit the bottom to punch through.
Hey Beezer,
We usually get 3 or 4 big ones like this a year. Normally would be in the 3 - 8 range. Seems like it snows a ll the time, luckily not always this much :)
This was fairly wet snow. It was around 29 degrees & sun was out melting the snow. Other than your big 2 stage blowers, the end of the driveway is usually a little difficult. I would usually shovel some of it especially when its all ice & compacted.
They claim it has the power of gas & so far I am in total agreement.
So much more enjoyable without the stink & noise!! :)
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day.

Thanks for sharing! Does yours has a steel or the rubber blade? Thinking to get one this weekend, we live in Tahoe so we can get a 2-3 foot of snow per night/day. We have a large honda for around the house and driveway and need one for our deck that is about 600 sq foot in size and has a composite track. Don't want to damage the track so I'm thinking rubber blade but not sure if that would handle well in a fresh 2-3 foot snow...? any suggestions? Thank you
Wow!! 2-3 foot of snow a day...Yikes 😜
This is the rubber paddle model.
It has cleared 1' of snow with 2' drifts. I did driveway, walks & a neighbors walk without having to charge in this snow.
I think the rubber would be OK on the deck & should keep things clear as long as you stay on top of it :)
It's quite a difference going from gas to this. Easy to operate & much lighter to maneuver. It's quiet & no stink!!
Have you had a cordless blower before?

I'm not sure about the 3' snow drift that's at your kneecaps anyway I get it, Overall it looks like on a 6"to 8" snowfall it does a pretty good job.

I say I almost need a backup battery and with the snowblower I'm sure it will be the same way. Anyway good video and thanks

Also. I titled the video 2 foot snow drifts :)

Awesome video! I have been using only shovels with Canadian snow. This year I think I finally go with a blower. I have all the Ego lawn tools so I was looking up Ego snow blowers.
I couldn't really figure out in your unboxing video but is your model SNT2112 ????
My property is not that big, so I assume the one with 7.5ah batteries might be an overkill even though that will be much more helpful and quicker than the ones with 5.0ah. My area does get snow accum like you had in your video. I was shovelling all that and my neighbors' sidewalk. it was so hard but kinda good excercise lol Now that I work on day shift, I will need to clear the snow as fas as I can in the morning. thanks for your video. very helpful.
Update: ok so I could see the model# in your unboxing video. it's the rubber auger version. as you also had a link for the steel ver. I was a bit confused. I was a bit skeptical with the rubber auger would do well with thick and wet heavy snow. thick fluffy snow seems fine with this blower as you showed.
Hi.
Yeah I used to think of it as exercise, but the older I get the more I think of it as a back ache 😅
I started to dread doing the snow but now I actually enjoy it 😀
I am pretty close to the border here in MI so we probably have similar weather if you're near there.
Through the season we had quite a variety of snow & I had no issues doing the snow.
It's light & very easy to use. I often times get home to find my wife already has it done :)
I added the link to the steel auger as a lot of people were asking if EGO made one,
We also picked up the EGO lawn mower as well & couldn't be happier.
This snow blower is quiet enough that you can do some snow before work without waking the neighbors 😜

Nice review - I have an Ego leaf blower and chainsaw and both are great.
But I’m concerned how long the batteries would last trying to clear a long driveway in -20C weather. Those batteries aren’t cheap!
Awesome!

They do just as well in sub 0 F weather.

The leaf blower is 5 years old and still works great! Highly recommend.
The chain saw is good for small trees and branches but it’s not going to work on large chains. I also find the chain finicky. For my use it’s fine but anyone with large trees to cut down, get a gas chainsaw or call a professional.
I should note I have used the leaf blower to also clear snow off my vehicle - works like a charm!
@@Collective_Oilers This is good to hear that the tools are lasting. Leaf blower definitely going on the list :)
@@Collective_Oilers Excellent idea! 😀
is that the rubber auger or steel auger model? did you use two 5.0Ah or two 7.5Ah batteries? trying to get an idea of run-time on 1 charge. thx!
Hi Sonny,
This is the rubber paddle model & this is the two 5.0Ah batteries that it came with.
Doing this driveway, sidewalk & 2 neighbors sidewalks with 2-3" of snow I still had almost half battery power left. See review video below:
ruclips.net/video/ZgGOo2I1q18/видео.html
With this 12-14" of "kinda" wet snow, I did driveway, sidewalk and one neighbor sidewalk & battery was almost spent.
Also, the batteries charge very quick :)
Will never go back to gas!!
Can you let me know if you get one? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Can you buy extra batteries separately? Not that I need them but just curious. I’m definitely in the market for a snowblowers finally. Be 55 tomorrow and shoveled my whole damn life 😂
Is that the one with the rubber type of paddle. If so I am curious how well that is holding up? Dies it get chewed up alot?
Hi Lori. Yes this is the unit with rubber paddles.
Entering its second season the paddles are holding up well.
They still get as close as they did last season with fairly heavy use.
I am guessing they should last as long as they did on my old gas unit. They are the same material. I would usually go 5-7 years before changing those depending on frequency of snow.

Thank you for this video. Question, please. Is this hard to push, and is it easier if you tilt it forward? Thanks again.
Het George,
I would say its at least 50% easier to push than my Craftsman blower. It feels like it has more power. Very easy to push. I did not need to tilt it forward at all. If you have very uneven concrete or very large cracks you occasionally tilt it slightly back. I just got their lawn mower as well. 2 of the best purchases in a long time :) My kids got me the mower for my B day.

They blow their front on our grass, This makes snow removal easier for us both.

@@RCInsiders I updated my comment above to a PG rating. 😁
Ok if you and your neighbor are cool with that, that`s good. I live in New England where some neighbors are funny where the snow is displaced. Some folks will throw their snow to their neighbors side/walkway creating more work for that neighbor to do.
The noise I hear in the video sounds like an `Eeeeeeee` high pitch noise.
Maybe it sounds different when actually using the machine I don`t know.
I`m looking into converting to either the Ego or Toro 2 stage battery version. The reviews in terms of the sound quality are mixed.
Some comments say its the equivalent of a clothes dryer machine sound while others say its not as quiet as we think it is.
@@amck72 Lol! Cool :)
I would compare the sound to a drill with a brushless motor. VS my old gas unit I would 80 - 90 % quieter. I will do the snow sometimes before work & have heard no complaints. Of course I do their sidewalks too so that could be it 😂😂

Curious to know how it deals with the tough compacted snow and ice the city plows leave at the end of the driveway.
Rick, my driveway is about 700 sq ft and I cleared it of 18-20” of snow with about 30-34” of packed snow/ice from the street plows. It handled it well, and also the paths to the front and back doors. The temperature was only about 10 degrees (wind chill below zero) and it ran out of power as I was taking it back to my shed. I could not be more pleased, it’s a BEAST!
Hey Rick,
As long as I get out & take care of it & not let it re freeze over night, it handles it fine.

Hey Eric,
I have not had issues with wet snow.
If it is just like totally slush, most blowers will struggle as it likes to stick to the chute.

Well … it may have worked but you should be using the larger E-Go 2-stage snowblower. It’s self propelled and would be better suited for this job.
Hi ka,
While the big EGO 2stage looks awesome & I'm sure it performs well, there is no way I could justify the cost.
We may get this big of a snowfall once or twice a year & this unit handled it with zero issues. I actually had a lot of fun with it. Did 2 neighbors front sidewalks that day after I did my house & still had battery left.
The big 2 stage has a lot of extra stuff that will eventually brake & wear out & will be much more expensive to replace.
If I had a lot bigger property to maintain I would definitely consider the 2 stage, but this unit meets & exceeds my needs.

@@TitleistGolf13 Awesome man. If you get the chance stop by & let me know what you get?
In theory, these things seem great. I don't see myself getting one though. That high pitched whine would absolutely drive me insane. Then there's the batteries that are a minimum of $250 and for the ones that will provide more run time and power, $450. And when those batteries are dead and you trash them, they're really, really nasty due to the chemicals inside them. To cap it off, there's the dubious "green" aspect since there's about a 75% chance that the juice to run it comes from a coal fired power plant. Plus, with a gas unit, yes it will need maintenance, but that also means that you can rebuild it if the engine gets tired. With an electric, you throw it away and get a new one. Again, more cubic feet of crap in a landfill somewhere.
Lol woody! 🤣😂🤣
You sound like you work for the gas blower industry 😅 Be honest buddy...Do you?
This snow blower is so quiet I can use it at 4 am when I get up for work. I will any take the steady purr of a brushless motor over gas where you need ear plugs or go deaf.
I spend hundreds of dollars on gas & oil products a year to keep a gas unit going.
Name brand batteries are around 200 bucks & generic 100 or less & people are getting 7+ years out of batteries. If in 7 years I gotta drop 400 on batteries its still way better than the 1500 - 1700 I would of spent on oil/products & gas.
Lets not forget also the comfort factor...I actually enjoy using this snow blower!
No mess. no stench & no hassle :)
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day

@@RCInsidersI don't shill for anyone or any industry, what I do is look at all aspects of things before making purchases.
All I have to go off of is the piercing high pitched whine I hear in the video. If you watched the video, I don't see how you could not hear it. It sounds like a helicopter turbine. I'm not going to clear my driveway at 4 am no matter what kind of machine I have, but if that's your situation and it works for you, that's great.
I use a snow blower maybe 3 or 4 times a year, so I couldn't spend hundreds per year to operate one if I tried. Maybe $25. I don't usually get heavy, wet snow until March or April and I don't need a snowblower for 3 inches of powder. LAst year, I got a bit over two feet of heavy, wet snow in mid March. My gas single stage wasn't going to tackle it, so I just went at it the old fashioned way. I don't want to spend $1500 on something I might use once every 5 years, which is about how often I get that kind of snow. I'm a little over 6000 feet, and at my elevation it's usually more powder.
As for batteries, even a cheaper generic one is full of Mercury, Thallium, Cadmium, Lead, Cobalt, and Lithium. Not only do I not completely trust companies that recycle them, but the conditions and hazards that people are exposed to in the mining of specifically the Cobalt, can be horrifying. Not all of it of course, but you have no way of knowing where the material really comes from. Somebody driving 5 miles to work in their car is polluting as much as my gas machine, so yes it does put out some emissions, but not enough for me to think that it offsets the nasty stuff in a battery potentially leaching into the environment when it quits taking a charge. Or the effects on the land and the people that produce the chemicals.
Enjoyment is subjective, and if you enjoy your machine, that's great. Dreading a chore isn't fun.
And I still don't buy into the "green" aspect because even if the machine itself doesn't put out any emissions, the power plant that makes the electricity to run it most likely does.
"Different strokes" seems to apply here, just like with everything else. Stay warm.
@@papawoody9597 Yes I get your points. At the end of the day nothing is "GREEN" unless your walking & clearing your snow with your hands, Same goes with your grass. Even a shovel or push mower had some environmental impact.
The sound you hear is a brushless motor & it is very quiet. Yes, you can & I have used it at 4 am before work with no complaints.
All your points could be made about everything in your life.
Look around you. Everything came from something.
At this point I have no desire to operate gas lawn equipment ever again.
Loud & stinky are relics & I'm overly happy to be done with them :)
I get snow non stop here & easily spent hundreds.
Have a great day :)
its so narrow... it would take me a year to do my driveway, also why are the tire so small?
Wait a minute sully...Do you work for the gas snow blower industry? 😅😂🤣
A year ay....Is your driveway a golf course? 😜
Just kidding buddy :)
This EGO snow blower is the same width as any snow blower I've had in the past. Same with the wheels. Have you owned a snow blower before?
My driveway is over 100' long & it only takes me 5 or 10 minutes.
And when I'm done I spend another 10 minutes doing mine & 3 neighbors sidewalks.
I couldn't be happier with this unit. I actually enjoy doing the snow now 😍
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day
#RCInsiders
Blow it into the neighbors yard! 😂😂
It's gotta go somewhere 😜😂
Lol Tony! I am friendly with my neighbor. I suppose some people may be upset about a little extra snow. make sure to ask first :)
Are you getting one of these EGO's?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great week!
#RCInsiders
It's a very good video, but it doesn't look like 12" snow on the ground
Hi Yu,
Yes, the snow was well over 12" in many places & the drifts well over 2' & the Ego handled it like a champ :)
Do you have one?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day 😀
#RCInsiders
@RC Insiders thank you for verifying my friend just bought one, and we're from New York
@@yucheunglam4019 Awesome! New York...My home away from home :)
You must hate your neighbor… just blowing snow over his fence 🤣
Lol Chaos!
Better in his yard than mine 😜
Just kidding! My neighbors are friends of mine & don't mind a little extra snow in the grass 😀
When I blow it in their driveway it may get a little hairy 😅😂🤣
Do you have an EGO snow blower?
Thanks for stopping by & have an awesome day!!
#RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders I do bro! I just purchased this same model two days ago. Didn’t receive as much snow as your video, but my lower back thanked me for my financial sacrifice.
I already have a ton of ego toys, this was the newest addition and didn’t disappoint.
@@Chaos744_ Awesome! I actually enjoy using this snow blower :) My kids got me the EGO lawn mower last year & love that to.
We just got another foot & the EGO handled it like a champ! I just came in for the 2nd time today....I'm ready for mower season 😝😝
ok why are you going down the driveway then pulling it backwards? you turn it it and plow back up
👍👍
My old gas wouldn't start. I'm thinking of this. I do myself and mu neighbor. 4 car pad.
Awesome Stephen,
This snow blower is the best purchase I've made for the Winter season ever!
I usually do my driveway & sidewalks + 3 & sometimes 4 neighbors sidewalks & have still never ran the battery completely out.
No stink, no fuss, light & easy to operate. No complaints from me :)
Do you get a lot of snow?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day!!
#RCInsiders
The biggest fail I see on all of these compact - to - midsize units is that they all have tiny tires. Even a lawnmower with small tires gets difficult to maneuver.
Hi U2,
I have had no issues at all with the wheels.
This snow blower is very easy to maneuver.
Do you have one, or had a chance to try one? Give it a try. I think you will love it :)
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day!
#RCInsiders
And you didn’t break a window
Nope!
Those neighbors are friends of mine & don't mind a little extra snow in their back yard 😁
Do you have one of these EGO snow blowers?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :)
@RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders No have an older Toro electric. Looking into getting one. Have the Trimmer which I give a thumbs up to
Awesome!!
Its too bad the batteries are so expensive, and don't last.
Hey Matt,
Why do you say they don't last? Do you own one?
3 seasons later & the EGO batteries are just as string & last just as long as day 1.
If I had to replace them today I would already call it a win, but I'm sure they still have a lot of life left in them. This unit has seen a lot of abuse where I am & it's still kicking like new.
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :)
@RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders 2 neighbors have them, and the batteries didn't make 2 seasons. One could never even get through their driveway on one charge. My snapper is 36 years old (older than me), and it starts first pull first every time, and will go through everything including the 2 neighbors driveways. I blow paths through my yard for my dogs to run around. Show me an electric blower that's capable of that. My neighbors electric 2 stage struggles at anything that's not paved underneath it.
@@MattPiekarsky Hey Matt,
I'm not an electric snow blower salesman :)
Not sure the issues they have or why but even in big snows, I do my drive, walks & 2-3 neighbors walks & still have power left with 1 charge. Are your neighbors driveways airport landing strips? 😅😅
@@RCInsiders Not really. They're pretty basic 4-5 car sized driveways. The snow isn't always nice and fluffy for them, and they really struggle when its the wet heavy stuff, or from the windrows at the end of the driveway from the plows. I think electric will take over one day, but the batteries are just not there yet from everything I've seen. Another neighbor uses a corded single stage, and that thing works pretty well, but its corded, and running on a much higher voltage than the battery operated machines.
@@MattPiekarsky Hmm. I see. Well no issues for me with 3 seasons under its belt. I also have their lawn mower and after 2nd season could not be happier with both. With as quiet and hassle free as they are, given the choice I will never go back to my stinky old machines. Push a button & go. No stink, no fuss & no mess :)
So you throw all the snow on neighbors?? Wth 🤦♂️
Hey there Nitin,
My neighbors are my friends & don't mind a little extra snow in their back yard 😁😅
Now when I shoot it on their driveway they start to have issues 😜
Do you have an EGO snow blower?
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :)
#RCInsiders
How dare throw snow into your neighbors! What's the matter with you?
Jonathan!
It's better in their yard than mine 😜
Just kidding!!
My neighbors are friends of mine & don't mind a little extra snow on their grass :)
They blow their front snow on my lawn as well. It makes snow removal easier for both of us.
Now when I blow it on their driveway things get a little dicey 😝😅🤣
Do you have the EGO snow blower? It is awesome!!
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day 😃
#RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders na I don't have an Ego. I just like to watch you rich kids play with your toys.
@@johngaspar4425 OMG!
I can't tell id you are being serious or not?
Can you please leave an emoji to clarify your intent? 😅😅
Screw electric! I’m not waiting for batteries to charge!
That's great bob.
As with anything in your life that requires batteries to operate, the batteries should always be charged & ready to go....There is no "waiting" if you take a minute to plan. Should you encounter a rare situation where you completely deplete the battery, you have probably been out in the cold long enough that you should go in & take a brake. Perhaps grab yourself a cup of hot chocolate. All the while enjoying the fact that you don't stink like a nasty dirty oil refinery.
By the time your done with your brake & get dressed to do battle with the cold again, your batteries wiill be ready to assist you once again.
You seem to have a very strong opinion about cordless snow blowers. Why were you watching a video about one?
You don't work for the gas snow blower industry do you bob? 😂😜🤣
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day my friend :)
#RCInsiders
Lol they only takes about 50 mins to fully charge
@@fallguy4209 Yes. they charge pretty quick. I'm pretty sure our friend bob is working with the gas blower industry 😂😂
Do you have an EGO? It really is an awesome snow blower :)
