I watched a few videos to help with assembly. This one was ok but there is one with a woman and her kids and for those like me, who are terrible at assembling things, it was perfect. Her order came with all the parts so you can see exactly how to assembly a complete box. This video helped, along with product reviews on Amazon and Worx website, me understand product performance so I had realistic expectations. I have a single stage Ariens I bought when expecting because I could not shovel. In the 10 years I had it, I have only used it twice because we don't get much snow where I live and I also do not mind physical activity, so I almost always shovel. The times I have desired to use a snow blower are when I am short on time or if we are going to get heavy snowfalls, multiple days. The problem with the gas version is that if you don't store properly it won't start and you have to troubleshoot. This is another reason why the gas powered has gotten little use. I would rather pull out the shovel than waste any time getting it started. I am a fan of the Worx brand so decided to get the snow blower but I wanted to understand limitations. When we get heavy snow, I usually plan on shoveling multiple times to reduce the exertion so I had no issue with planning to make several trips outside with the blower. It will still save your back or hips (I am an amputee with no femur due to a birth defect). I did have some issues with it being short and the chute handle coming out but when I found the second assembly video I realized it was due to an assembly error. I reassembled correctly and now there is no issue for me but I am only 5 foot. I also was pleasantly surprised that you had to put some work to push through higher areas of snow with some ice. For me that was in the front of the drive where the street plow piled the snow. I did not get any stalling but I had to put some effort into it. I was super happy because I still got the workout I enjoy (remember I enjoy shoveling) without the extra bending, twist and lifting. It wasn't bad and most definitely faster than shoveling. I did experience some of the stalling when I tried to help my neighbor with their drive. In this case, they had not shoveled previously so it was larger, heavier piles and my blower was getting low on juice. I tilted it back a little and went over several times and really used legs to push and it did a great job! It stalled a few times (again large, heavy pile because they did not do a first pass the previous day and it snowed overnight) but always started right up and got to work which is all that would matter to me. I plan to check out the blades to see if they are still in good shape since there was a comment about plastic but all in all I am happy with this purchase. I have the trimmer, drill, screw driver and mower and have been impressed with this line of products. I am more than thrilled of the space it takes up and that I can just put in a battery and go. I will add another comment that I never use the self propelled on my mower so I do not mind that you have to work to get it through heavier areas. I also think the lights are cool but I am curious if they only limit the battery power. I was able to get my 3 car driveway and sidewalk clear. At one bar, I changed to my second set (from mower) and finished the sidewalk, the front of house (street) for mail truck and helped neighbor. It was enough battery for what I needed to do. However, I would say that to be safe you need to have a second set. If you have other Worx products like myself, this is no issue due to power share.
I have one of these, used it for the first time yesterday in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Your review is spot on. A couple of things you things you didn't mention though, is how light and maneuverable the machine is. And it has a handle on top so it can be picked up and carried easily. I too found the batteries lasted about 18 minutes, so I intend to buy a 2nd set of them so I can clear all our sidewalks and walkways without having to wait for a recharge. We had about 9" of heavy wet snow and the machine struggled with it, but with some effort and patience, it did clear the sidewalks. 9" is a very large amount of snow for our area though, usually we get around half that and I'm confident this machine will handle that much without any trouble.
I had a Toro electric (corded) snow shovel for our 600 square foot deck and 30' long paver walkway. It worked great for 20 years. It also had plastic blades, about 12" wide. That never caused an issue. It could only handle about 4 inches of snow depth at a time. I wish it had come with a directional chute. But I could tell, just from the sound of the one you're testing, that it wasn't powerful enough for that amount of snow.
GREAT review. I ordered one today. Thanks for putting some focus on the discharge chute. I personally think the chute is great, by [not] having to spend time 'cranking' the chute every-time you want to change directions - it's much faster this way. If the wheels were power driven it would run down the battery quicker. I'm from Minneapolis and moved to Phoenix 25 yrs ago, and moved to Northern Arizona 2 yrs ago (where we get our share of snow) and this will be perfect for us. I also love the fact that this snow blower uses the same battery that all my other Worx tools use.
Just checking out your channel bro. I'm Wisconsin here. I had a snow Joe corded which didn't work out. So went with the green works 40v. That didn't work at all either. I said forget all the electric and went back to. Gas. Got the toro 518ze. Best little snowblower ever. I can do 5 inches easily with a 3 car garage and all the front sidewalk and the 3 neighbors sidewalk in like 20 mins. Got the toro off eBay for like 300 bones. Pizza looks bomb. Thanks for your time buddy! God bless you. Merry Christmas. Yay jesus!!
I agree, gas is best for a lot of snow. These little electric snow blowers are ok for a little snow. Thanks for checking out my channel! MERRY CHRISTMAS 😃👍
I'm so glad you did this review as I've been very interested in this snow blower. I almost bought one last year and at that time it was like $375 but maybe that was sale price. The plastic blade and chintzy snow chute concerns me too. We want a smaller blower for the deck and walkway and liked this was cordless. 20 min charge is awful though. It did do a good job getting down to concrete (with some learning curve). My town is on Lake Superior and we get a lot of Lake effect snow so I'm not sure this would work for us. Thanks Jeff really appreciate the review. 💕
I purchased mine two years ago, and for any snow under six inches, it does a great job removing snow. However, you need extra batteries for a larger area.
Living in NE Alabama not much need for a snow blower might need some battery operated underwear for the next three days but WORX makes some good products
Glad to have found a review on this machine on buffalo snow as i am here in wny w/ our lovely lake effect. I’ve been checking out electric options. I have tons of worx tools and love them but i think your review helped confirm that the worx snow blower is a pos. You tested it on fluffy snow and it stalled and had issues - it should have eaten thru fluffy snow without issue. Thx for your honest review - the prior reviewers (not NY reviewers) seemed to like this unit but it seems like it can only handle very light jobs and honestly at the price point it is, an electric snow shovel could prob do better. The toro power shovel seems to have no issue. I am thinking about picking up one of those for light work.
There is no snow like the snow in Buffalo! This little unit is fine for a little bit of snow but not really for much more than that. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! #gobills
very similar grind to my corded worx "dethatcher" which had me sweating. still manages to get the job done but, like you said, price is too high at $400. Let worx throw in some extra batteries to juggle and avoid overheating, and I would buy.
Good review that took too much time about assembly. The machine itself is junk. Shoveling would take less time with a little more effort. There are small gas powered abd 120v corded paddle throwers Toro, Simplicity/Cub they are light and do a better job and minimal effort in 12" or less.
I Wood Stick With My Gas Powerd I Had An Electric That Was Plug In I Didn't Like It So I End Up Getting A 2 Stage Gas Powerd One And It Works A Lot Better And I Like It
I agree. This would be good for places that don't get a lot of snow...otherwise a gas powered snow blower is the way to go! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I haven't tried the Worx snowblower yet but I have a 60V Toro and a 40V Ryobi and the Toro runs CIRCLES around my Ryobi --- but u will PAY for it tho!! The Ryobi was about $400 and the Toro was about $700! Buy an extra battery ($200) for either machine and I suppose it's worth it
Im in the orange city east of you, but i wouldn't trust the opinion of anyone besides a Buffalo person for snow related things. I'm a disabled female living alone (i can walk fine but have extremely limited strength and energy) so ive been trying to prepare now that I've moved here to be close to family and just bought my own home. I like the idea of electric but it seems like it probably wont be the best choice for me. Thanks for your review!
Seems like too much of an effort to use it and it's cheap even thought I got a Toro for less. I like my gas powered one better. Seems like it would best with only a few inches of snow and it would save my back from shoveling but that kind of snow you need something more powerful and I don't think this fits the bill. Maybe after a few upgrades but not this model.
Just found this video and wish I'd found it sooner. I just assembled mine and was missing the screws , etc, as well. I wonder why it's so tough for them to pack all the necessary parts. I also agree that it was waaayyy overpriced for the plastic and the run time. SAD. They need to revamp this thing. I have not used it on our Colorado snow yet, but have a feeling its not what I thought it was going to be. It is manufactured in Suzhou , China, so am I surprised at the quality ? NO, but the price for a pile of plastic. I dread having to use it for the first time and BTW.. I'm nearly 80 years old so this should be good. My first impression assembling was " Man , this thing is cheaply made and is probably going to disappoint" We'll see.

Very cool, thanks for sharing your experience with electric snow shovels. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
The Shute adjustment works really is you squirt a touch of silicone spray under the rotating base in front. Worx Great ,

I like this little unit and does a good job moving snow for about 20 minutes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Just a touch of silicone spray under the Shute disk and the handle connected at the back of the blower. WORX like a dream~§eriously !

That lake effect snow is nothing to mess with, I shoveled the driveway many times after a lake effect snow. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

Like you say I agree for lake decks and sidewalks but bigger jobs the gas ones would shine
Merry Christmas Jeff
Absolutely! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Living in Houston when we get 2" of snow the city shuts down and we all make chili and home made cornbread 🙂
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

Lol. I'm a fan of the worx Power Share products that's for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍

I was looking at greenworks, because I already have a mower, and edger, so I have 3 greenworks battery's but I'm debating about getting one
I am a fan of the power share companies, makes things a lot more convenient. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I'll save my money. Heavy wet snow is what we usually get, powder snow, I'll shovel. Plastic blades are a big no go for me.
I was disappointed about the plastic blade too...that was an easy fix. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Siding with ya on this ....Great review though
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
Love mine fer the price..

Your Welcome And No Problem
I liked everything in your video except for the fact that your Buffalo Chicken Pizza had no buffalo in it!
xD
Go Bills!
Oh yeah, Go Bills!
It seems like it would be fine for normal areas, anywhere near the lakes....no way🤣🤣

I have one way overpriced. You need a gas snowblower to handle apron snow from plows and heavy wet snow. Light snow fine heavy snow no way.
