EGO Power+ Cordless 2-Stage Snow Blower

4.2

1 source$1,178.99as of Oct 14

The EGO Power+ Cordless 2-Stage Snow Blower offers a self-propelled design that reduces user fatigue, combined with cordless battery operation for gas-free convenience. Reviewers noted its 2-stage auger system effectively handles packed snow and ice, while the 24-inch clearing width provides efficient coverage. However, some users found the battery life insufficient for large areas or extended use, and the unit's weight can be cumbersome for certain users. This snow blower is best suited for homeowners with moderate snowfall and average-sized driveways.

Strengths

— Self-propelled design reduces user effort in pushing snow blower
— Cordless battery operation provides convenience without gas or extension cord
— 24-inch clearing width offers efficient coverage for typical driveways

Watch-outs

— High price point
