EGO Electric Snow Blower 1 Year Later.........Was It Worth It?

At the beginning of last winter I decided I would get myself a new snow blower. After looking at all the electric snow blower options I decided Ego would be the best option for me. After using this electric snow blower for 1 year was it worth it and would I get one again.

EGO Power+ SNT2114 Peak Power 21-Inch. (2) 7.5Ah with Rapid charger

EGO Power+ SNT2112 Peak Power Snow Blower with Steel Auger (2) 5.0 Ah with dual port charger

EGO SNT2400 24 in. 2-stage snow blower

I got an electric snow blower three years ago. We’ve only seen one inch of slow since then… so it’s clearly doing its job

[Bill-ltqf]

haven't seen snow in a few years now. didn't stop me watching a snow blower review though. i use my time wisely.

I’ve Been using mine, also in Michigan, for four years now. It’s been awesome. Their mowers and trimmers are great too.

I have an average suburban yard and had to replace my lawn mower summer of 2023. I tired of oil changes, keeping the tuel fresh and other hassles and investigated going with a battery powered replacement. Bought an E Go 21" self propelled model with 56 volt battery. It is the best lawn mower I have ever owned (71 years old; 5th home; 4 or 5th gas lawn mower over 45 years). The torque on the motor is very strong so it rarely bogs in the tall stuff like my gas mowers. I can mow front, back and side yards on a single charge w/o engaging the self propelled feature (only a little slope in the back). I appreciate that it is so much quieter than my gas mowers and I'm happy not to put out so many emissions. I'm sold and will expand to the multi head system this summer.

The first bit of outdoor power equipment we purchased after getting our house (upstate/western NY) was also an Ego snowblower, although we got the larger two stage blower. We've added a lot more Ego stuff since then, including mower, leaf blower, weed whacker, chainsaw, power head with other stuff, etc.

One thing I found with the two stage blower at least is that you can pretty much leave it in eco mode and it has plenty of power to throw the snow as far as you need. The only times I would sometimes crank the power up a bit was the plowed in mess at the end of the driveway. Runtime in eco mode is pretty impressive, a lot of people make the mistake of running it on higher power at first and complain about runtime, but honestly you rarely need more power.

Recently saw Ego finally added a power snow shovel attachment for the power head, really want to get that before winter sets in here this year.

I’ve been using an EGO mower to mow Saint Augustine twice a week for 4 years now. The only maintenance I did is an annual blade change (takes 5 minutes and costs $12). It’s been great. Battery is still going strong.

I bought an Ego lawn mower. I really like it. I decided to get an Ego snow blower. I bought a single stage Ego blower. It works OK with cold dryer snow, but it doesn't work well with the wetter, heaver snow.

Snowblowing and mowing the lawn are very zen tasks. Love it

[williamneal]

Just used it for the first time. 2" of fresh snow, 12'x80' driveway, 2 house sidewalks and a 50' by 80' concrete pad at top of driveway and in front of barn. Used both batteries at same time. I have to rate this entire thing, in every category as borderline incredible. Will see how it does in a bit deeper snow. Best $$ I have spent in a while

My EGO single stage is going into its 6th winter season this year, still with the original 1st gen batteries. I've had to replace the plastic "scoop" bar a couple of times because the concrete chews it away over time, and that's the only maintenance that I've performed on it. It does great with light fluffy snow, but it does get bogged down with wet heavy spring/fall snows. I'm all in on the EGO lawn stuff as well. I love their battery tech, except the cost of replacing them! Pro tip: don't put the batteries on the bumper of your truck then forget about them and drive away. Ask me how I know that 😂

I also got this snowblower last year. It performed admirably, only faltering when clearing waterlogged snow that was mostly water that weighed 30 pounds a shovel. I found that on max speed, the snowblower could blow snow above my neighbor’s garage. This snowblower chews through the light and fluffy snow like butter, especially when you get 4-8 inches. In my opinion, the 5 amp hour batteries are a waste of money. When it gets really cold, like when it goes signal digits or sub zero, the battery run time drops.

I've had my ego lawnmower for 6 years and love it.

I've had the two stage EGO snow blower for a year in northern Wisconsin. It handled everything mother nature threw at it with ease.

[shinjisan]

I'm in Perth, Western Australia. Snow blowing fascinates me even though I have never seen snow in person in my life.

Something that wasn't addressed is you MUST bring the charging unit and batteries indoors to charge during the winter months. Because if left out in a cold garage sure they'll charge but you'll use them up 2x as fast. I was looking at this exact snow blower package and almost had my finger on the trigger. Until i read about the battery charging issues. So instead i bought a Toro Power Clear 821 QZE and LOVE IT...!!! You just can't beat gas power. I know electric is becoming the thing of the future but we are CLEARLY not there yet when it comes to sustainable power for long periods and overall reliability.

I just purchased the ego snow blower and I'm excited to put that baby 2 the test. I bought the ego lawn mower 4 yrs now and I love it. Great video

I got the rubber paddle version of this blower and have used it for one season. Battery life is great and I haven't had any issues with it lacking power to chew through snow. However, even though the rubber paddles do a great job of getting down to clean pavement, the blower shoots 10% of the snow back out of the front opening, covering the clean path you just made with some snow. This would be fine if I lived somewhere where the thin layer of snow left behind would melt away in a day or so, but in northern Canada that thin layer of snow becomes a sheet of ice in no time. Also the fact that this blower weighs just about nothing compared to a gas one is nice, but it can make it more difficult to deal with packed down snow.

I went all in this summer on EGO. I have 4.7 acres with a 1 acre pond and picked up the EGO Z6 zero turn 52" and love it. I can't mow it all in one charge but my yard is hilly and that does burn more juice. Planning on getting the 2 stage snow blower this fall.

[leelantern]

I was in love with mine when i 1st got it, after this recent series of ice storms, and needing to charge mutiple times, and needing to ram it into hard packed snow plow mountain I got buyers remorse and really regret buying battery so I ordered a honda, I'll keep it for light duty but using gas was way faster and I missed the self propelled

[claudiajones]

Great review! You helped me make up my mind. I'm a school teacher in North Dakota where we get lots of snow, (about the same as my son's house in Marshall, MI). I already have several EGO yard tools for the summer and love them but the snow blower? Well lets just say that's a whole new level. I'm going for it! Thanks Jeff in Langdon, ND
