Reply to comment by ichabod01 in Help me buy my first snow blower! What am I going to regret in 2 months? by icysandstone

I like this idea, but are electric snow blowers ready for prime time?

What brand?

Do they have enough power to grind up the icy mound of packed snow at the end of the driveway? (from the street plows)

Ego. Dunno.

I bought an Ego brand weed wacker over the summer, and I've not been happy with it. It's underpowered and I regret the decision. I liked the idea of not having combustion exhaust in my face, but it feels like the tech is not there yet.

Not been my experience. Got that and the mower. They rock. Got a hedge trimmer too. Works great. Perhaps you aren’t keeping an eye on the battery or storing it in a suitable area?
