Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Is adustable from control panel. Easy to maneuver and lighter than a gas powered version.

Came to me undamaged from amazon during shipping and very easy to assemble. Has performed great.

This snowblower always starts. The torque of the electric motor driving the augers really comes through. Unlike previous snowblowers i have where i had to offset my runs enough not to overload the intake.

When cranked all the way up on turbo, it throws the sierra cement at least 25', more if the snow is lighter. The city snowplow makes a considerable ridge at the end of our driveway and this snow blower went through it quite easily. The plow often come...  Read More

Ego lawn mower and hedge trimmer are battery powered.



Cons

Getting to the motor/gear unit requires almost complete disassembly of the complete thrower. The electric motor just keeps delivering power, with enough low-end torque to jam the gearbox and destroy it.

My lawnmower ran for 10-15 minutes before even giving me a warning it was on low on a single battery bar (there is five, btw), ...  Read More

Price


Than i bought 2 (non-ego) 5ah batteries for $125 each and a dual battery charger (80 mins to charge 2 batteries).


Noe: the ryobi 2-stage sb was $2000 w/tax and uses 4 batteries.


The only way this would have worked would have been buying $300+ or more to keep 2-3 extra third-party batteries or $600+ of eg...  Read More


I , however bought it in the spring because of the on sale price.

Shipping


Came to me undamaged from amazon during shipping and very easy to assemble.


Has helped us navigate our first northern idaho winter.


It took about three weeks to get it delivered to my house.

Competitiveness


I had previous oe-stage ego snowblower - this is much better.


No exaggeration, i went through 8 pairs of aftermarket batteries trying to find ones that work for less money than the ego brand.


The higher capacity batteries will have competition later this year and drop in price.

    It simply could not handle that kind of snow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The auger was spinning fine but the wheels were just spinning in place and couldn’t propel itself through the snow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I suspected this would happen so only a little disappointed and am looking forward to using it on fresh powdered snow which looks like that is all it is good for
