Considering I own, and love, nearly everything EGO makes it only made sense to give this snowblower a chance. First, very disappointing that no product literature is included so assembly and operation is on you to find. Just had first snow since purchase (4 inches) and this product failed miserably. Driveway is maybe ten cars in size and I was able to do about half on first charge and finish a few hours later on second charge. Other disappointment is cleaning ability. As you go down a path, snow is thrown out the front in opposite direction (where you just cleaned) and leaves snow on previously cleaned path. Expect I will not be ridding myself of gas blower just yet and the EGO will simply be my sidewalk and clean-up machine. Cannot handle much snow or driveway size effectively.
