Really a good tool for its intended use

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2022

This is a great tool for its intended use -- clearing snow immediately after a snowfall. Works great for us in the foothills of the Cascades where we can keep up with the snow. We've had consistent snowfall for the last ten days, and I go out in the morning and clear up around 6" of snow each time. Takes about 15 minutes to do my driveway and sidewalks. The engine is electric (powered by an extension cord), so it's quiet and powerful enough for the machine. I was able to run it in the morning and none of my neighbors heard it. Quieter than a leaf blower, and way quieter than a gas-powered blower. I'd compared it to being about as noisy as an electric hair dryer.

It doesn't do as well for higher amounts of snow. I think it says it can do up to 10", but that would be for light, dry, and cold snow.

And I would not want to try it to get rid of snow that's turned to ice - I fear the blades might crack.

Assembling it wasn't difficult, but a few pieces were confusing - the middle handle (lower part) has a cord securing device or dongle that has to face a certain way, and neither the illustrations nor the directions mentioned that. So I had to disassemble it and redo it -- but it wasn't hard to do. Also, the handle that moves the direction of the "spout" has to go into the machine deeper than you realize - there's a rubber sleeve somewhere inside the machine that the handle goes through that doesn't seem to want to accept the handle, so you have to really push it, which is scary if you think you might break something.

The blades of the rotary "wheel" are plastic, but for light- to medium-duty, they're fine. It gets the snow off down to the pavement of my smooth sidewalks, and right close to the surface of my textured driveway.

This probably won't work on a graveled driveway or a driveway that has a deeply grooved surface like cobblestone, but it seems to work fine on all kinds of materials as long as the surface is hard and somewhat smooth.

There are a few downsides. One is its weight. Because it is super light, the temptation is to push it more than you should, slightly elevating the back wheels, and grinding the scraper part of the machine into the pavement/concrete. Which means it stops going forward. Takes practice to not be tempted to push it harder than you need to, and to go slower than you think you can.

The other is the way you power it: it needs an extension cord. I find this reasonable because that gives the lighweight and *quiet* engine the power it needs, a good compromise between a battery-powered machine (less power, requires recharging) and a gas-powered machine (more powerful, but usually far, far heavier and more difficult to maneuver and store). But the cord is going to want to travel behind you, which means that every so often you're going to step on. You can try to use the little dongle to secure the cord to the handle, but if you're using a long extension cord (mine is 100'), you're going to need the thicker 12/3 and not the 14/3 cord -- which is too thick for the dongle. Easy enough to just wrap the cord once around the handle, but still -- the cord is going to be there following you. Not a huge thing, but be aware of it.

So, over all, really and truly five stars. Works great, lightweight, easy to put together, easy to fold down and stow away.

For my use, it's well worth the price.

If only it were battery-operated

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

I bought this snow blower a couple of years ago, but it sat in its box until this year, because we really haven't gotten enough snow to make it worth putting together. But last week, we got 6", and I thought if I'm ever gonna try it, here's my chance. It was very simple to put together, which is saying something for someone like me who is not mechanically inclined...maybe 10-15 minutes. The only issue was that the instructions were so tiny, I had to use a magnifying glass to be able to read them. It helped that I watched a YouTube video to get the basics first. The snow we got was pretty lightweight, and overall, it did a great job once I got the hang of it. The main downside was having to drag the 100-foot extension cord through the snow and to make sure I didn't run over it. I would've given this snow thrower a 5-star rating if it were battery-operated.

Nice lightweight snow blower. I'm quite satisfied .

I finally gave in and bought a snow blower. Shoveling even medium snow simply wore me out and it took a day to recover. I'm 70 years old so that's my excuse.

I bought this 40V blower because I already have three other Greenworks 40V tools - double blade mower, string trimmer and extended reach hedge trimmer. I have found them all to be more than adequate for my needs and physical limitations.

The snow blower arrived severely damaged. It had been dropped from a height and the internals of the drive mechanism were jammed. The impeller would not turn. The battery cover was broken off and some plastic molding on the left side was broken off.

I called Amazon and they immediately shipped another one and sent me a return shipping label for the broken one. The replacement arrived in two days. Customer service was awesome. Now I'm waiting for snow.

Two weeks later.
We have snow - sort of. Three days ago it snowed about an inch, then changed to rain, then froze up solid. No one on our block even tried to clear their sidewalks.
Yesterday it snowed a couple inches on top of the old, icy stuff.
The snow blower worked quite well. It picked up a lot of little pieces of ice with the new snow and threw it clear of the sidewalk with ease. Of course the very fine powdery snow didn't throw very far. The thicker the snow, the better it threw to the side.

I clipped the edge of a concrete step which stopped the impeller immediately - and I mean immediately. It stopped dead with no grinding against the step. That's a pretty good self-protection circuit in the electronics. It restarted as soon as I pushed the button and pulled the bail. No problem.

Now I'm waiting for a deeper, heavier snow to really test it. So far I'm pleased.

I do wonder how well an all plastic body will hold up over several seasons of use in the cold. Time will tell.

Two more weeks later
4" of medium heavy powder.
Did almost 100 ft of sidewalk - worked great. As noted before, heavier snow throws much better.
I ran my 4Ah battery flat, the last bit trimming up the end of the driveway where my snow plow left some fairly heavy ridges of snow. It lit all four LEDs before I started, but it had been sitting on the shelf since summer so I'm thinking it wasn't at maximum capacity.
The next morning, four more inches of slightly wetter, heavier snow.
Did the same 100' of sidewalk and the driveway end after the plow. At the end it showed 2 LEDs lit so probably could have done another 50' or so.

This snow blower works quite well. It's a lightweight so you can't beat it up on heavy, icy stuff. I tripped the motor cutout driving too quickly into the the side of the big snow plow pile at the end of the driveway. It restarted immediately. By inching forward, nibbling at the pile, I was able to widen the end of the driveway cleanly.

I'm quite satisfied with this machine. It's actually easier to push than my Greenworks lawnmower as I can put more of my weight on the handle and thus don't need my cane to walk and push. It's light and easy for me to maneuver even on grass around our garbage cans so I can take them to the street on garbage day. The noise level is very low. Just a loud hum. Much nicer than the big gas powered ones on my block.

It's a bit of a battery hog. I assume the motor is a lot bigger than the ones in the lawnmower. With the 4Ah battery freshly charged, I ran it down only half way doing the same 100' of sidewalk as yesterday. I assume the battery wasn't fully charged when I started last night.

If you read all the reviews you'll see that some people haven't had such a good experience with theirs. Perhaps they got a bad unit, or were too hard on this lightweight machine. Whatever. I recommend it.
