Two NEW EGO snow blowers tested and what you should know

[@J-Colt]

I got last years 21" for work. Only had 3 biggish storms but it worked well. Thanks for video!

[@leonardpaciora5039]

Glad you got your snow! Now,keep it for the rest of the Winter !!!❤! Thanks Clint!!!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, I want more Leonard!!!!!

[@leonardpaciora5039]

@ToolReviewZone LOL!!!

I'm in southwestern Michigan. We get hit with lake effect snow. Two of my neighbors have gone electric lawn and snow. The ladies love them. Never any problems. One of them will do my 50 feet of driveway since I no longer can. My old big Snow King is retired. I had it modified and used to do 10 drives in my block and the sidewalk. Too old and broken now...me that is.

[@beezer5623]

Wonder if you shoot some WD silicone in and around the chute to maybe help the turning issue. I have a gen 1 unit and don’t recall it being difficult to turn. I love the new addition of the lever to control the throw angle.

[@gibblespascack1418]

I have the Toro Power curve plug in and a 100' 12 gauge cord. My battery never runs out. Sounds about the same and will continue working until the job is done. No battery degradation either. But it is a good evaluation and if the unit was not $900 at Lowe's it might be a good option vs the corded toro unit at $200. Really the batteries are very expensive and a good profit center for both Lowes and EGO. If you don't have a need for the battery in the summer, then this might not be the best decision. If you go with this

[@epsileth]

If you're dealing with physical issues, or have kids who can't shovel all day, or you want it done faster, these are great. If you'd rather shovel, that's fine too. I'm in Canada land, and for most of the snow season, a larger electric snow thrower shovel like shown at the end would be great. But once it's up almost to my knees with that rare kid winter storm, a bigger snow blower is needed. I understand that cold temps might kill battery use life, and if there's a reliable fast charge or multi battery charger, that would be a plus. Just keep them inside and let them charge, swap out as needed.

[@mckill32]

Love ego products don’t have the snow blower or power shovel. The gripe I have is once the original batteries need to be replaced which is within a 5 year period they cost more than the tool itself depending on how many amp hours battery you want.

[@greysheeum]

And the batteries NEVER last.

[@mckill32]

@ agreed

[@Bigphish5280]

I've been running my two 5AH batteries year-round since 2016. I've lost some capacity, but otherwise going strong.

[@mckill32]

@ speaking from first hand knowledge that’s a total exception. Hasn’t been the case for any person I personally know that uses the same battery.

[@smittyone66]

too much plastic in cold weather Ithink great video

[@goddesslynnmarieschwann6120]

Thank you for such a good review and test video! I have done a lot of research and definitely have had the EGO as what I want. I know they are pricey but I won’t have to pay anyone anymore so it will pay for itself😎 how I justify expense! They have quality and I guess that’s why the price tag?,?! Anyways thanks for your review! Good job👍👍👍

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the awesome comment goddess! Yeah, Ego is definitely the way to go for OPE at the moment

[@VincentCarneglia]

There’s something soothing about the sound of these snow removal machines! Will you be doing a giveaway of either of these?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Anything for my subscribers brother

[@rudyb2755]

I just purchased this single stage blower for a little under $400. Haven't used it yet. Blower itself will cost 499 if you don't need the batteries if you already have other ego products.

[@ometofu]

Have not seen snow in NYC for years now. My OG Ego snowblower have not seen any actions. Lol

[@ToolReviewZone]

It's crazy right. This was the first snow here in two damn years 🤷‍♂️

[@terrygabrielson5598]

Just put up a red cedar wood deck… do you think the shovel would tear up the deck? Another great video!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Na brother, it will be fine

[@mattwaters6987]

I went with the Greenworks 80v Pro snow shovel instead. Just saying. 😊

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Does it have a radio on it? Or a port to charge my phone? All that snow it was throwing was blowing right back at TRZ. That wasn't Nass like!!

[@wildbill23c]

Every snow blower throws snow back at the operator LOL....that's where a tractor with a cab is nice LOL. I had a snow blower for my lawn tractor and it didn't seem to matter what way you had the chute pointed you got doused with snow.

[@lthegr81]

I was 1st and that is realnicelike 😊

[@ToolReviewZone]

Well now, that is real nass like indeed 81!

[@southsidetom]

No thanks! Sticking with my gas single stage Toro. Paddles and plastic slide are EZ to replace on Toro.

[@jimbo4260]

Hows it throw with the heavy stuff?

[@steelvalleysportsmen7737]

Idk that I have a 14 car driveway, but i have a 550 foot driveway. Probably pretty close

[@wildbill23c]

The only Ego machine I had was a self propelled 20" lawnmower...garbage was what it was, way too expensive, and never worked right, gave the mower away pretty much never again would I waste that kind of money on anything from Ego. The mower would randomly shut itself off without any warning lights to tell why, the self propel would randomly stop working....wasn't worth the money, and definitely not something I'd recommend.

[@Jim55324]

I also have one. Battery is very expensive and malfunctions often. So I switched to Ryobi and haven’t had any issue for over 5 years now.

[@kc0lif]

real nass like

[@mr.stinker9335]

I want to go back in time. I’ll take gas hogs any day.

[@MeMaTiok]

No noo You have to push always no thanks 😅 if is the both machine is Self-Propelled i can buy.. but not for now.

[@ToolReviewZone]

They have self propelled as well

[@lthegr81]

1st

[@rawbacon]

No thanks, I'll keep using my 45 year old Snowbuster 220 that's still going strong....5 years from now that overpriced battery monstrosity will be in the landfill 5.

[@augustinesanchez1411]

Ok boomer

[@rawbacon]

@@augustinesanchez1411 Not a boomer Gomer.

[@dcl97]

I'm up in Marquette (~300 inches of snow per year) and have had their original one for 7 years. Not a single issue nor any sort of maintenance. I couldn't get a modern gas one that lasted more than 3-4 years without having some sort of major issue.

[@YellowBoltTC]

Wow, you’re so cool

[@GettsWild]

Same here! Had the original Ego two stage for 4 winters and it's more powerful than any gas blower I've had. My previous gas monstrosity rusted out and broke within three years. I need reliability, not landfill material. Facts don't care about your feelings... Or something like that, right? Willful ignorance I believe it's called. ​@@dcl97
