WOW! Clearing Snow with the EGO Snow Shovel

[@EmperoroftheArctic]

this man and his electric snow shovel show more love than the entire series of twilight

You know it !🤣 best comment ever!

[@MaryIntoccia]

I Purchased this item January 2024 and it’s money well spent. I am a 66 year old female with a bad back. Works quickly and does not need a lot of effort to use.

[@I-LOVE-EARTH]

FINALLY!! I powered snow shovel that throws the snow to the sides! Nice job!

[@PaulStregevsky]

I've seen two or three off brands that have it but ego is the first name brand.

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

This is so cool would give us gardeners work when the weather is bad in the winter months Game changer clear paths and salt happy days Hope your keeping well buddy

[@raynman67]

Always amazed that people have snow blowers pointed at cars and windows as if small rocks and pebbles or chunks of ice aren’t going to be around.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Great point ! Although I ensure I keep my driveway pretty clear there is always that risk - I’ll think twice in future !

[@raynman67]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance good demo though, appreciate the product review

[@ExcelsisGardens]

Looks like a great bit of kit mate! The snow looks beautiful where you are too 🙂

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

It really is handy ! Yes it isn’t something we would use daily for months but for when that odd day does come it’s so much easier !😂

[@Saxondog]

Thanks for the heads up on the new multi tool that's released early next year. Unlike Stihl, Ego upgrade their products frequently. The Stihl KMA135R has been on the market for over 3yrs now and you can bet they have an improved version ready by now, which won't be announced for at least another 12 months. Well presented vid son. Stay warm up there

[@MakeWay4CJ]

Released next year??? I don’t understand. I already have one. Got mine 2 months ago. They sell it on Amazon and at Lowes.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

UK seems to be nearly a year behind the American market mate, carbon fibre shaft multi tool releases over here around March 2023!

[@Jordan.E]

I don't know what I'm more shocked at, how well it cleared the snow or the amount of snow you've actually had up there 😲 Seriously though that's quite an impressive bit of kit!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thanks Jordan! 😂 it’s okay for both! I was 😂. Probably the most we have had in a good few years!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Crazy, I never get that amount of snow here....

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

It’s been a good few years since we have had this to be fair! Probably will be the last of it 😂

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Haha I was the same ! I was far too happy once it came 😂😂

[@OorOaksey]

What a brilliant bit of kit and so effective. I think I would have fun using it too Lol, great wee vid.

Thank you a lot !😄 yeah it was great fun!😂 big boy toys!

[@Morrison_Lawn_Landscape]

Nice one mate. Looks a handy bit of kit! Liked how this video was pieced together too 💪👏🏻

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thanks brother ! Really appreciate it 💪🏽 It definitely would have been a back breaker clearing the drive without it 😂

[@komitadjie]

I've been darn impressed with mine, it is *way* more stout than you'd have any expectation of it being with just a look! I strongly suggest the backpack power unit, it drops the weight of the combined assembly by a whole lot, even with a big battery. Where I love this in particular is mostly for the the porch and stuff where the bigger snow blower doesn't fit, and for "trimming" out around the cars, stairs and stuff where it's awkward to get the blower turned around, or you risk scraping up the car with the handle.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Yes Dan! It is a fantastic machine that’s for sure 🙌🏽 like you say especially for them tighter areas

[@waqasahmed939]

Tbh I got myself an Ego self propelled lawnmower, and I think that's amazing So I thought I should check out their other stuff. Their stuff is expensive but they do seem like the best alternative to petrol powered tools imo

[@bustopninja4520]

Great demo mate! I've used mine here in the states about 9 times this year and I love it. It's got some quirks but nothing insurmountable. The lower grip varies by user. I wish the diverter locked in the middle as well (just sometimes you need to throw straight ahead). I've got smaller (lighter) batteries from other EGO products but have never had power issues. You're fortunate that your pavers are completely level because it will catch on concrete expansion cracks. Some people have suggested a shoulder strap but that limits quick mobility. Thanks!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Yeah absolutely ! It did catch on certain areas which is a bit of a pain but I see why It needs to sit flush. There was times when I did stop it roughly straight to throw forward which worked pretty good too! Definitely good for the odd time we do get snow here! This is probably the first we have had it like this for a good few years in my location - definitely handy when the time is right !😄

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Surprisingly effective. Best to get on while it's fresh I guess. Good video 👍

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

I thought exactly the same ! Exactly, just need to get on the gritting also !😂

[@ldqa2737]

Nice work, nice tool. I miss the snow.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

We don’t get it often to be fair! This was perfect timing!

[@hardgraftgardenservices]

Cracking wee video, my Eagle eyes noticed you've got your handbrake on, on the trailer you should chock the wheels instead, save them sticking on with the damp cold weather.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thanks Lewis ! Funny you say that I was just thinking that this morning when I left for work! I’ve got some in the garage, I’ll get it sorted tomorrow, thanks brother !💪🏽

Want one of these shovels!! Have several eGo pieces and this would add to my inventory for winter snow!!!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Victoria, thank you for commenting - it does a fantastic job! Massively impressed!

[@joshuabush2569]

I really wanted to buy this but I'm down in the Southwest and there's not a huge amount of snow... It would probably get used once or twice a year so I can't justify it sadly! Looks like it works great. I'm constantly impressed with the amount of power the multi-tool has!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi Joshua! Yeah that’s the only issue isn’t it, when we get it it’s a pain but usually only lasts a week. I suppose it depends how much you need one when the snow is actually here ☃️❄️

[@joshuabush2569]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance yeah that's exactly it... I think if you lived somewhere with a lot of snow it's a must! Could be a good little earner though if people need a driveway cleared etc.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@joshuabush2569 absolutely ! I totally agree

[@alaskanmalamute101]

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Oh aye ! The bigger versions looks crazy good!💪🏽❄️

[@bustopninja4520]

It isn't light. The head is the heavy part and any bigger defeats the quick mobility. My neighbor has the big bulky EGO snowblower and this beats it hands down.

[@donsmith5462]

Installing a heated driveway will cost anywhere from $10-$25 per square foot to install. The average cost is $8,500. While this is a large sum of money a heated sidewalk or driveway will last 15 - 20 years if it is taken care of well.

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

How long does it last . Great video

Good man Sam happy Christmas mate

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thanks Paul! I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

[@jeffblakeman8164]

love this. Then I'd probably go back over it with the broom to clear the remainder off so I don't have to salt.

[@pristinekleencleaning]

Winter wonderland ! That’s wicked Sam works really well, do you have to be careful of things sticking up out of the ground like rocks or anything ?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

That is one thing mate! It picks up and throws far! It caught one or two pebbles and threw them a good 10m or so😂

[@pristinekleencleaning]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance hahaha that’s made me laugh 😂

[@bustopninja4520]

When they picked the Recycled the other day there were some crushed aluminum cans that got snowed on. As I went out to the street to blow, it caught them and I thought something had broken, But all was fine. It will catch on expansion cracks and larger-than-pebble rocks.

[@Acejustforalaugh]

Nice job guy ! Better you than me ! 😅

[@Q5000]

You could take a universal joint and rod and make it so you don't have to bend over or lift it to switch the direction.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

That’s a brilliant idea!

[@GregsMowing]

Great video, tool did a good job. Could have a challenge with your van and trailer moving and someone using the shovel and getting it in the trailer 🥴

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Absolutely, really impressed by it! 😂😂 it throws it a good distance mind!

[@BROutdoorz]

Did you do that on one charge? And if so what size battery is on it?

[@jamesheyes]

Very jealous of this bit of kit, I’ve been curious to invest in something like this but these things don’t seem to have great availability in the UK. I take it the battery doesn’t suffer in the cold?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

I believe they are getting better now. Especially through EGO. They have a new multi tool out early next year which is definitely superior💪🏽 this battery was taken straight out of the van and into the multi tool after it being sub zero for the last few days - no problem at all💪🏽

[@MakeWay4CJ]

Last year I left my battery out in the garage and when I tried to use it this past spring, it was dead. This year I bought the new ones inside and it sits in the house’s storage room. I’m not taking any chances!

[@jamieyork156]

Great video mate as always. I'd be very interested in purchasing for some of my commercial stuff. What unit would I need for this attachment and how long do the battery's last mate ?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi mate ! Thanks for tuning in😄. It is just the multi tool that is required. Although they are releasing a lot better version early next year, before March I believe!💪🏽. The battery lasts around 40 minutes doing this, that’s for a 5 amp💪🏽

[@jodycojo8364]

Hi what's the battery life on the snow shovel ?

[@dougabbott8261]

How are you finding the durability of the EGO products? The reason I am asking is that I am now on number 3 leaf blower. They last about 1 year than quit working with light to moderate use. I was just wondering if others are having the same experience.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Wow that’s terrible Doug to have to go through that much! I haven’t had an issue with the mower or any of the normal tools, the telescopic hedge trimmer I have had some issues though! Some are hit and miss!

[@ozarkbagger1380]

How long did the battery last? Did it do the whole thing on one battery?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

I think this took around 30 minutes or so, I still had 1 bar left of a 5amp battery at the end 💪🏽

[@mikedaygm]

Works a treat!!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Fantastic mate 😄❄️

[@WatchdogVideo]

Great video! I took a chance and bought mine in August on Amazon. I already had three batteries and chargers from earlier Ego bundle purchases. First wet snow and a few inches mine just pushed the snow. I blamed the centrifugal clutch and thought ... oh well. But ... then last week ... a fresh snow (lots) ... zero degree weather and it worked like a champ and cleared the drifts on the deck and I even ventured into the street to clear a path to the mailbox and it handled the ice chunks really well. I did wind up purchasing the 5 AH battery just in case. Question ... Ego provides no wear plates for this snow remover. Anyone have any suggestions to prevent the bottom from wearing out? Happy New Year!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Awesome ! Great to hear you are enjoying yours ! I found the 5amp batteries serviced me for around 30-40 minutes before fully dying. Not a bad run time 😄 Also a fantastic point reference the bottom plate, something I never even thought of! I’ll mention this to EGO

[@WatchdogVideo]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance Thanks .... hope Ego Power has some thoughts on a wear plate.

[@joq702]

Not time efficient if you can push a snow plow shovel. I can so it would be a waste of time for me in a snow this deep. I like it for the edges though.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Yeah I suppose it depends how much work you want to do, I feel it makes things a lot easier than shovelling especially on pathways, 2-3 passes and your done 😄

[@joq702]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance I understand 100%, but when it is 2-4”, plowing, not shoveling, is way quicker and actually I would argue is easier than operating a battery operated unit. I have Greenworks products (60V) myself (not EGO although I used to have). I do not “shovel” snow meaning I do not lift snow if the snow on my driveway is just 2-4” of snow. For the edges, yes, shoveling up and over or throwing it way over with an edger unit like this makes perfect sense. Also, to me it depends on the size of your driveway you are clearing. Most of these snow throwers are 12”-16” and that is not very wide. I also do not have time to only do 12-16” at a time. For those of us that physically can still push a manual snow plow (I have a 24” True Temper and a 36” width one), I say please go watch a few videos also on how easy and quick it is to clean off a driveway.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@joq702 oh I see what you mean! Yes absolutely totally depends on size and what you wish to do, a push plow is also a great unit to use😄

It was $399.00 it went on sale for $299.00 so i bought it and it had a faulty handle out of the box Ego replaced it. Have used it like 6-7 times now and its only good if you have a perfect driveway no debris , leaves tiny pebbles or it jams like crazy and it also jams with snow numerous times and its Heavy and Ego should include the carry Strap. And truly I would not Recommend buying at all ! Wish i never purchased it!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@dunnoyolo2238 I must say I don’t 100% agree, I believe it depends what you are doing and what your uses are, I don’t think it is 100% there for everyone but for example I have used a battery 19” mower on every domestic property this year, no issues at all, same with strimmers & trimmers, they go all day with the batteries I have. Whereas if someone is covering 20 acres a day it obviously wouldn’t be enough, just depends on use. I use a Ferris zero turn for the commercial and acreage mowing 👍🏼
