GreenWorks (16") 10-Amp Electric Snow Blower

I live in Spokane Washington in a gated community. They are responsible for keeping our street plowed when it snows and tenants are responsible for their driveways and sidewalks. I got tired of shoveling my sidewalk and driveway and decided to try this particular model because it had wheels and directional blower blades.

I used it on 6" of new snow and this little unit really delivered. As a senior, I appreciated the fact that it was lightweight and easy to handle. The extension cord presented no problem because I purchased one that was not too long for the area I needed to cover. Love this little workhorse..

I used my 16" model yesterday for the first time. The snowfall was 4" of light fluffy snow. I purchased this blower because my doctor prescribed "no more snow shoveling" for my 77 year old body. I was surprised to find that pushing the model 26022 into snow takes more effort and resultant heart strain than a light weight ergonomic shovel. I actually had to kick the axle to enable forward movement. Since there was no ice or packed snow to impede it, I find the lack of forward propelling assist by the impeller (which was a feature of my last light duty one stage gas model blower) makes the model 26022 a poor choice for users with a heart condition.

The snow shovel does a nice job but the directional handle broke after two uses. Then the vane attachment broke. Cheap, cheap steel....The company helped at first but then the handle would not fit the directional pull and have not heard from them since.....I was contemplating buying one of their electric lawn mowers but will totally stay away from any Greenworks product.

We had our first big snow the day after Christmas. My son was here for the Holidays from Tennessee and he is the one who used the snow blower. It was absolutely great.
He said it was easy to push and did a great job clearing our driveway. I thought the on time shipment was great and the snow blower was packed very secure.

I am very proud of it.

Powerful yet ergonomically uncomfortable...unless one is 4' tall. Would like to see handle with an adjustable length for those of us who are taller. We bought this to help with our bad backs and it would have been just as painful to shovel the old fashioned way....

Ordering and delivery & setup were great. Snow here in Washington (Western) only comes a few times a year, but where we live, you better be prepared. Dumped 1 1/2 feet last night! Blower works great and throws a good distance in dry snow!!! Once it starts to warm up, doesn't like it-clogs, clogs!! You have to get on top of it and start early or when temp is down and there is powder snow. Other thing, it does not like snow 12 inches or above--You have to do a lot of pushing, but still does the job.

I still like the lightweight feature, and would recommend getting out in the snow (Not Waiting until morning), eats up the 2-4 inch powder stuff and get used to the cords--something you have to do with electrics, but not big of a deal with some long cords and pulling them over drifts. Also found that if you wait until next days freeze, you can work certain area's and depths pretty good. Main advice, put some warm stuff on and get with it early and don't let it get deep!! Better to get at it a couple times.

This is the cutest machine we have ever seen. It is 24 lbs as advertised. I created a problem for myself by skimming the directions instead of reading them. MISTAKE. The handle and the snow directional shaft are the only parts I had to put together. The directions tell you to put the bottom and middle handles together and then attach the top handles to the middle ones. What I did was try and fit the snow throwing directional handle shaft on first. If you do this, the midhandle will not reach the screws holes at the bottom.

To do it correctly, you have to take the nut off the directional shaft (it is attached to the middle handle. If you don't nothing will fit. Take it off and put the shaft aside with the nut. Put the mid and upper handles in place with the big bolts. (just like the directions tell you to do it). THEN put the shaft in place. It has one screw at the top and one lynch pin at the bottom.It has a protector ring that will move to put it into place. If you don't take the bolt off and fit it last, you will stand there with the mid handles 1 12" too short to match the screw holes toward the bottom. I did that several times. STUPID. I was on hold for tech support when I read the directions.

Machine is darling. We test ran it as we have no snow yet. Sounds great. Looking forward to using it.

There was a big storm here (snow storm) and I tried to use my new snowblower. It was kind of hard to push and it overheated very fast and would turn itself off. The snow fall was a very heavy one so maybe that was it.

They shipped it faster then I have ever seen. Bad it quit working the first time I used it. I had to fix it but they did send me the parts.

This is a pretty good snowblower for the price. I have used this snowblower twice and I believe it works quite well. In a snow storm blizzard situation you would have to stay on top of it. You should not let the snow go above 6 or 7 inches. I have adjusted to using the electric cord pretty well. The only limitation, the auger is plastic and hard ice would not be a good idea to try and tackle with this type of blower.

But all in all a it is a well-built machine, just use good judgment on what you tackle with it. I use it for the whole driveway pretty much but near the entrance where plows usually throw large chunks of ice, I use the shovel. But hey, it beats shoveling 2 or 3 hours a clip. I am so impressed I plan on upgrading to the Worx electric snowblower. You know metal auger rubber tipped. When I buy the Worx I will pass this one on to a friend.

I get some of the strangest looks from people driving by like what is that! I am just waiting for someone to ask.

I told some of my co-workers about your product and many never knew that electric snow blowers are available. I hope the option catches on.

The snowblower arrived very fast and it was in perfect condition. This machine was well above my expectations. Ordering online can sometimes end up in disaster, but not this time!

My husband was beyond pleased with it. It's light weight so its easier to handle. It worked perfectly for what he needs it for. It's so awesome we keep it locked up so no one can take our fantastic machine.

Gotta say thank you for being there for me to order the snowblower. Not one store in my town had one due to the recent winter storms that blanketed the North East. I would happily tell all our friends about Snow Blowers Direct. Best online ordering experience in a while so again we thank you !
