The new Greenworks Commercial 24" Dual Stage snowblower is the most capable and advanced battery snowblower currently on the market. On three 5Ah 82V batteries our tests show this snowblower can clear about 10 single car driveways under 12" of snow. This machine is rated for up to 24" of snow. Runtime can depend on operating conditions. Unlike some gas blowers which can bog down under a heavy load, the commercial brushless motor of this blower does not bog under the weight of heavy snow and it blows the snow further than any gas snowblower at a 50ft with 200-degree rotation. Molded handles, zero-turn trigger steering, and variable speed makes this a comfortable machine to operate. The crank-operated chute rotation is reliable and well-engineered as a locking pin keeps the chute in position. You will notice the difference in commercial grade battery equipment as this model is quiet, has two commercial grade 5-speed brushless sealed motors for optimal efficiency, non-marring skid shoes, included drift cutters, and steal auger housing. The cost of maintenance and lifetime cost of ownership must be factored into the purchase of battery equipment. There are fewer belts, springs, and cables to change. There's no purchasing fuel treatment and dealing with fuel-related issues. There's no friction disc or friction plate to clean or replace. The lifetime cost of ownership is less for this battery snowblower than an equivalent 24" gas snowblower.
