Finally, EGO warrants this product for 5 years. As with EGO's lawn mowers, the Power+ Battery Snow Blower has a foldable handle, making it easier to stow in your garage. (The manufacturer claims a single charge can clear 8 inches of snow off a 10-car driveway.) Two LED headlights enable visibility in low light. The kit comes with two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger to power the 21-inch-blade unit, with brushless motor, so you can charge on battery while you use the other. We note that as with most single-stage snow blowers, heavy, wet snow can clog the unit. You can swivel the discharge chute 180 degrees, and the variable-speed auger allows you to easily control when and how far the snow is thrown. We like the Power+ Battery Snow Blower because it can be used on falls up to 10 inches and can throw snow up to 35 feet. Generally, single-stage snow blowers cost less and are best suited for removing smaller amounts of snow. We are pleased that its Power+ Battery Snow Blower lives up to that reputation. Over the last few years, EGO has emerged as a high-quality manufacturer of cordless electric outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers and weed whackers. (If you need better gripping handles, you can purchase those from the manufacturer.) And we like the interlocking dual handles, which allow you to change various settings while still maintaining a safe grip. The chute rotates 200 degrees, which should allow you to deposit the snow where you want it-up to 55 feet, according to the manufacturer-without having to stop and reset the machine or turn it around. It’s self-propelled with six forward and two reverse speeds, and has auto-turn steering, allowing you to effortlessly guide around your driveway and sidewalks. Its two-stage operating system and 14-inch steel augers help you move through snow, quickly and easily. "After a medium-sized storm, say 5 inches of new snow, it took us about an hour to fully clear our driveway," he reported, "and that’s with a lot of attention to detail." Even after larger storms (12-plus inches), the machine reliably cut through and cleared the snow, he reported. And it's efficient, according to our at-home tester, who used it on his property in Colorado's Rockies. We especially appreciate that despite being gasoline-powered, a 120-volt electric pushbutton ensures that the unit quickly starts-no matter how cold it is. This gas-powered, self-propelled snow blower has all the features you could ever want or need, including a powerful 254-cc engine and a 28-inch clearing width to tackle up to a recommended 12 inches of snow. Setup is fast, in as little as 15 minutes, and mostly involves attaching the handles.
