24" two-stage has a cheap cotter pin where it needs a roll pin in the impeller shaft.
21" single-stage w steel auger, bent auger 1st use out of the box. 21" Auger shaft is a poor design. I hit a block of ice, and it bent the auger shaft. Vibrates horribly. The auger shaft should not be the weak point. The belt should pop-off, or there should be pins on the auger shaft. Used for about 20minutes. $100 in parts, but a fairly simple repair.
I had a similar experience with the 24" two-stage snow blower as well. There is a cheap cotter pin holding the impeller to the impeller shaft. Most other major snow blower manufactures use a roll pin here. This one made it one season, and did OK.
The motor failure is a $300 part and requires complete dis-assembly of the machine.
Batteries and charger have not been an issue. Keep batteries stored indoors, and let the batteries sit not-charging when not in use.
I now have two non-working EGO snow blowers. They are under warranty. I purchased the blowers at a store less than a mile from my house. it is 70miles each way to the warranty center. I can drive the small unit in my car, but the 24" two-stage will not fit in my car, would have to pay a courier to deliver it.
Design flaws left me stranded and will have to pay for snow removal this year, 60-90 days out on warranty repair, if I can even get the units there.
