EGO Power+ 28 In Self-Propelled 2-Stage Snow Blower (Bare Tool)

I picked up my new 28 inch snow blower a couple of weeks ago. It was very simple to assemble. I unboxed it and put it together with no tools required, in the bed of my pickup truck then drove it down ramps to ground level, all in about 5 minutes. I had to wait for a snow storm to try it out, but when it finally snowed, about 3 inches I gave it a try. It worked well, throwing the snow a good distance. I will need to get used to the controls. The joy-stick control for the chute is great and simple to use. I also love the power turning feature, but I will need to use it more to get proficient at using it. I ran the forward and reverse speeds near the top setting, and it made for a good walking speed. The battery was down by 1/4 or maybe a little more after finishing my long driveway and three car parking pad.

The machine is excellent. Plenty of power for moving the machine forward and throwing snow. Last night we got a few inches of snow and I was eager to try it out. My driveway is 500 feet long and there are 2 houses that share the driveway. I was able to handle the entire driveway and both garage way areas around the 2 houses and only used 2 of the 5 bars of battery power. One word of caution, the machine does not have a brake. When blowing downhill in small amounts of snow, the machine wants to roll down the hill quickly. Otherwise, it's a great machine with plenty of power for the big jobs.
