Cordless Snow blower recommendation?

i would think an echo battery pas and the power broom would be a better and more useful purchase. and if the electric cant handle it, then get a gas power head.

2500W = 3.35 HP
I would think it would be fine for small accumulations of powdery snow.
I also would not expect much from 3HP.

My old neighbor had one of the Ecogo versions...he was on his second one (saw the first in the garbage). I can EASILY shovel/push 5 times as fast. I have twice the walkway and even push my driveway clear before he does his dinky porch with that thing. My other neighbor had a 2 stage gas...that was a monster. It really throws the snow, but he is worn out when he finishes.

The best cordless snow blower is one that runs on 87 octane gasoline.

Yes but where do you only ever get small accumulations of powdery snow all winter? South Texas?

Don't know about snowblowers - don't need on here. But I do use a lot of EGO electric tools. We have 2 trimmers, 2 leaf blowers, and 1 lawnmower. They are well engineered and work great. Any EGO battery fits EVERY EGO tool. Might check them out. Best wishes, Larry

I think some of this is a function of how much snow and how often. 24" and a 200 feet of driveway is different than 2" and 20 feet. Same deal as walk behind gas versus tractor.

I had an electric snow thrower years ago that I was given, 120V, it would handle the 2" of snow, basically a broom or shovel was faster.

I am interested as battery tools have come a long way. I remember when a cordless drill was good for drilling a couple small holes and a couple dozen screws, then recharge for 8 hours.

My cordless snow blower is diesel powered :)

Be neat to see what new tech does to things that normally needed a small gas engine.

Energy Density:
Lead Acid Battery - 50 W-Hrs/kg​
Lithium Ion - 150 W-Hrs/kg​
Petroleum - 12,722 W-Hrs/kg​
This is 2008 data. Lithium metal batteries now under development promise 300 w-hrs/kg or more.

I hate being negative especially with no experience with a battery snowblower, but I am very familiar with battery tools and even a e- bike. I liken the required power needed to say... a rototiller. Would anyone ever consider that? If he buys it at the "right place" and is able to return it slightly used, that's another thing. 👍
I wouldn't waste my time unless witnessing one in action- for 45 minutes or so.
I think the torque required by a blower may be better supplied by an electric motor, but I also think your right that a battery powered blower couldn't do much more than an effective broom.

Looking on google it seems there are many brand and cordless units that get great reviews. Take a look at this review for more info on the cordless snow blowers. Most of the peoples prefer the YARDMAX YB5765 cordless snowblower.

Cordless snow blower = not enough snow to even worry about. I have a HD rear blade on my M6040. It's cordless & batteryless & moves snow just fine.
