I own this machine and it is FANTASTIC! My husband is disabled & in a wheelchair, so snow removal is up to me. I’m 75 and only 5feet tall. Guess what? This machine has been a life saver. No problems. If I at my age & height can easily handle it, anyone can. But, no matter your age or height, it does the job!
Nice! I agree , lighter than a gas 2 stage also. Thanks for sharing Cynthia
Very informative and much appreciated. Only thing that would have made this video better is also seeing the blower in action. Thanks to you, I know which model and what to look for 👍
Hi thanks, we did a few videos on EGO’s 2 stage we also recently launched a long term review sharing our feedback. Hopefully you can watch those and they will help.
I will be purchasing one this fall. I will definitely be checking for the chute upgrade.
Thank you very much for that !
get the toro 60v
I just bought the SNT2406-4 from Lowes. The 4 batteries are important for me. It is a beast and really works well. Except the directional chute was extremely hard to move. I called Ego and they said to take off the bracket that was the fix for your issue. It works great with the bracket off.
I need it, my unit is too loose
If I watch this it will snow for sure this weekend .. I fear to watch .. yet I cannot look away … ! Happy snowthowing day to all ….!
Thank you for this. I had commented back and forth with you when this came out and bought one. They sent me the kit to fix the shoot. I really like this blower BUT I am already on my second set of batteries since the first set got to where they would no longer take a charge. Thankfully they were still under warranty and Ego replaced them. I want to buy one now for my father and this concerns me but since they honor the warranty I think I'll just get it because it's easy to assemble and use. Absolutely throws the snow 50 feet as stated. I will be sure to look for what you just pointed out.
👍🏼
Having an additional set will help, try not to drain the batteries fully, maybe go down to red lights then use your other set. My batteries have lasted I believe mainly because I don’t fully drain them. Good luck
I've only used my new EGO stage 2 blower three times, but it was a pretty good test. The first was about 5" of dry snow with an underlayment of frozen snow about 2" deep -- I have 70' of driveway about 30'x50' wide and it performed as good as I had hoped. I'm 85 and not in the best of physical condition, so I counted on the blower to do the hard work. The next day we had a new 4" and the blower got deeper in the icy first layer. Then I did the pathways around to the back yard to our shop and patio, then the trails to the back door patio which picked up some gravel and leaves along the trails. I had bought extra batteries, but the batteries that came with the EGO were never depleted. Of course I put them in the charger after each run, but even though I used turbo for the blower, I never ran low on battery. I've always been a snowbird, enjoying the California desert during the November to April months with its 70 degree weather and extra two hours of sunshine every day, and contracted with a young man in our neighborhood to keep the snow cleared from our sidewalk and driveway. He had his own method of pushing the snow to the side, and after this initial experience I realized I've never paid him enough! I called him over and gave him $50 just as a thank you. I give the EGO five stars.
Thanks, I was wondering what the differences were with 2400, 2405 etc. Good to know !
Thanks
Like you, I have had my 2 stage for 2 years now. Although a battery snowblower is convenient, I still regret getting rid of the old gas snowblower. I used to help my neighbors clear the snow from their walks and driveways. Now that I am using the Ego, the dual 7.5 batteries are dead after only doing my own driveway. It should also be noted that Ego really cheaped out on the build materials for the snowblower. Thin metal housing and those cheap green plastic skids that wear out really fast!
think the toro 60v 2 stage is better?
Thank you! The chute flipping around has been an issue!
I got one of these but didn't like the exposed shear pin holder, so I made a 3d printable cap that fits over the top. Just browse for cap for ego 24 2 stage snow blower
Used my 2406 for the first time today. It was a true test. 10 “ of thick heavy sticky gumbo and it performed amazingly.
Awesome I agree as well, a few years after and still very strong 💪🏼
I am on my second winter with the updated model that has the metal cable adjustments , have not had any issues so far , this thing is a beast too ,
That’s good to hear
Thank you so much for the video. It helped a lot.
James thank you
Thanks for the information! I am interested in that two stage, but will wait for the second generation. I'm not in a rush for it. The competition has raised the bar for two stages.
I have no regrets. I got to tell you the thing really works. I’ve never had an issue with it other than that chute thing but they fix that. But I guess at some point I’ll probably come out with another model maybe with heated handles and stuff like that.
@@TechMadeEzy I'd jump on that model with heated handles haha. It would be great if EGO also made a plow and/or snowblower attachment for their ride on mower!
Thank you. this is really good info
Thank you
By the way, The trimmer and the Blower are Great products! They are great performers!
Hi-I have an Ego Blower and an Ego Trimmer. So I have Two 56Volt I think they call them. I thought I would hold out for their later Model to iron out any design flaws that crop up in 1st issue products. Again, I welcome your input! Thank-you! Ben
No matter what two stage you get even the new 28 inch they work very well I had to learn to slow it down and not put everything full throttle and made my batteries last longer but the machine does a great job
Buying the 2410 instead of 2400 thanks to this video.
Thanks for the heads up. There are 7 in stock at our local Lowes. Do they perform as well as my 10 horse Troy Built Gasser?? hate breathing gas fumes. This blower has mixed reactions. Great video!!!
Thank you and honestly it’s enough for me. If you need anything better get the 28 inch but the price is a little ridiculous. Do you currently have Ego batteries?
Thank you!
Thanks
Hello. Great video. I just wanted to ask a question. You had mentioned that you have an updated model and I noticed that the skids on the blower housing are black. Is that a recent change in the design?
Jeff thank you
The skids are an accessory, are this video currently there are only available on Home Depot drifted be a link in a video
Also th-cam.com/video/crSZjgSEybs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info! So I should put this Ego Blower back on my Christmas list? Happy Holidays and Thanks!
Thanks same to you and I have no major complaints, I was using a 24 inch gas snowblower for years. The thing I had to learn was I didn’t need to go full throttle flow and steady really made my batteries last longer and I always had two sets of batteries just in case anyway. Yes it can get expensive but if you’re in the ecosystem, you’re gonna be using the batteries for other tools.
Your approach seems logical. Now at least I know I am not buying a PO Crap. That is quite important when spending1600.00 Dollars. Thanks again! @@TechMadeEzy
I literally just found your video by google and for steel ego Snowblower adjustment shoes!
I’m glad you found our channel
@TechMadeEzy Oh no, I have been following you and i'm subscribed, I meant I Was watching the other video Where you were showing the cable fix for the floppy chute and noticed You had big steel where I had little green plastic and started googling ha ha. This is a unique enough situation that you actually were one of the first results on google! I was laughing and had to tell you
Very cool thank you
Mine froze it was REALLY annoying. I couldn’t even move the chute. Ego has a motorized chute now. I sold mine and upgraded to the 28” ego.
Great info to save a lot of people! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks AJ
@@TechMadeEzy when you gonna review the Greenworks 2 stage my man? Haven’t seen any good reviews on it yet.
@@TechMadeEzy just buy one and return it when you’re done. 😂😂
It’s pretty expensive and I’m not getting much snow so that’s a big challenge. Looks beefy and pretty solid from first glance
@@TechMadeEzy I understand bro! It does look really beefy. Thing cost more than the ego and I find that annoying. Lol
I have the original model. Did they put those screw things on afterwards because I don’t think I got that on mine the snt2400. But I did have to install the upgrade bracket that helped a ton! Overall the snowblower has been great here in MN. Thanks for keeping viewers informed you always have great information!
Big J ! Always good to see you
They didn’t do it when it first launched of course and I don’t honestly know when they started doing it, but they definitely stopped because people were complaining as water got in the froze and became an issue. But it looks like me and you are all good. 👍🏼 🔥
@@TechMadeEzy good they are working on getting it fixed and yea your right people should definitely check to make sure they are getting the newer models plus they got some better batteries. I wish we would of got those bigger batteries the snowblowers come with now
@@Jaredxstp Jared come follow us on the new Tesla channel if you can and share it with anyone that might be interested please
www.youtube.com/@MyTezlaJourney1
@@TechMadeEzy yea I’ll come check it out!
Is there more of a difference in model numbers than just different batteries. Isn’t the 2400 the same unit with different battery options? When I buy in September shouldn’t the suspect units all be gone by now?
That’s why I made the video, just be aware. And the difference is mostly kit with batteries / charger or tool only. Good luck
Ego sent me a bracket (this is my third winter), but since I wasn't having any problem I just put in a drawer for later.
Ok cool
It looks like you have different height adjustment shoes on each side of the unit.mine are green plastic and yours almost look like metal but there isn't a good shot of it. where did you get yours or did they come with yours?
th-cam.com/video/crSZjgSEybs/w-d-xo.html
@@TechMadeEzy 😁
They came out with a piece of metal when you turn the shoe it doesn’t drift off
I have the SNT2405 that i bought in September (so no longer returnable at Lowe's) and after just FIVE uses, the cable is completely "dead" the chute wont catch or move at all. I have the version with the upgrade kit installed and when i took off the housing i see the cable itself is feeding out of the gear. IT may catch a tiny bit, and shift a few inches but then back to no movement at all. I have no idea how to fix this. From day one it was SO hard to move, I have a good amount of strength in me and i struggled. All in all, my only alternative is to load it up (middle of winter here in CNY) and take it to a repair shop who might be able to fix it (and keep it for 4-6 weeks). So upset, Ego offered no information to help.
I'm surprised to hear they won't help you, you got a 5-year warranty I mean that's not covered?
@TechMadeEzy yes the repair shop will be covered under warranty, the frustration is it breaking after 5 uses in the middle of a central ny winter :)
So sorry
the chute drift has been a known issue for a while.
Good info on video. I was thinking of buying this but for the price and what I hear about the batteries lasting usually max of 3 years (and from what I hear the battery life diminishes each year so by the 3rd and final year you're getting maybe 15 minutes of use) just seems like too much of a gamble. I mean you think they're good for the environment but replacing these huge batteries every 3 years can't be that great vs a bit of oil and gas for a regular snow blower.
Dave thank you
I haven’t had that issue so far and I am coming on to four years. Also, just be aware the 10 amp hour batteries and the 12 amp hour batteries have a five year warranty as long as you register them.
@@TechMadeEzy Oh I didn't know that, thanks for that! Might be worth the extra money for the 10 amp version then, they're out of stock everyone in my area (Canada) but definitely get on the list. thanks!
Thanks
Every cordless tool has similar batteries and they typically last well over 3 years, especially if not used that often. Best to store them indoors and not allow them to get to 0 charge (I suspect the unit is smart enough to stop before going to 0)
I’m having trouble with warranty service with this company. The self propel system has failed after 1 season and tech support is dragging their feet. I uploaded videos showing the problem a week ago and they tell me that it has “been elevated” to another department because there is no local service near where I live. They say I may need to repair it myself with parts but they can’t tell me for another week. It’s the middle of the winter and their machine is worth no more than a lump of junk metal right now. They are difficult to contact and slow on service, not good. Update: they shipped a new one 4 weeks later. Worth the wait?
Sorry to hear this
I called ego for the same issue. The shoot keeps drifting to the side. They told me there are adjusting bracket with one screw that you can adjust the cable. I havent tried yet but we will see. I tried getting the braclet but they told me that I dont need it.
The two-stage you have has the adjustable cables?
Mine just failed. Something internal to the blower transmission. It’s still under warranty, but I am having a very hard time getting ego to own up to it. So far, I’ve spent over a week on the phone with them and had to escalate it up two levels. Now they’re telling me I have to take it to a service center. Three hours away. Horrible customer service and will likely not buy from them again. Currently looking at Green works snowblower.
Bad situation
The date is near the bottom, very easy to see, mine is may 2023 so it’s fine
I have the original I love it it works great. Did you see the new 28 inch?
👍👍
Mine doesn't have the upgrade but it's also not an issue for me either.
That's all that matters, for me it was an issue and I believe enough people had a challenge where they actually came up with the screw system but because it wasn't really tested they stopped doing it

I bought mine two days ago in Lowe’s mine is SNT 2405 but mine doesn’t have the screws. You think I’m safe??
I’d contact EGO and see what they say. I don’t know if they will do anything for you from what I’m hearing unless you experience a freeze up issue. Be careful but enjoy the unit its a beast.
@@TechMadeEzy I remove the cap where you show in your other video and mine has the clip already installed so I think the most recall and fixed the problem I wish I could upload a picture but is there thanks for replying and for the videos 👍🏼
OK thank you
How do you fix the screw issue?
I believe you actually have to experience some type of freezing in order for Ego to assist you. From my knowledge, I don’t think they’re going to help you proactively.
You saved me from buying one. I don't want to buy something for $2,000 that I have to fix...
New SNT2416 2023 model has all issues resolved. ✅
We won’t know until I think a bunch of people start using that snowblower but I have no complaints with the 24 inch. It works great for me and it’s the perfect size.
@@TechMadeEzy
It’s a 2 stage topgun. That new SNT2416 is an incredible snowblower. No flaws.
@billyrock8305 yes, and the 24 inches of two-stage as well
@@TechMadeEzy
The new SNT2416 Model is 24”.
@billyrock8305 you are correct sorry, I should have had my coffee thanks Billy
I bought the 42 lawn mower from Lowes it sat outside long enough for the serial# and Q code label to be so warn out my phone could could not read the q code. The boxes for the charger and spare parts were wet and the steering wheel was not installed properly installed. Stay away from Lowes.
How you charging your batteries to snow blow when the power goes out in a heavy snow storm...Gonna run a gas powered generator to charge them...I'm sticking with my gas power TORO thank you...
Battery obsolescence is planned obsolescence..... I have 3 drills that i cannot buy batteries for anymore...they are now basically paper weights. Buy a gaspowered snowblower...it will last you at least 20 years...better yet buy an old refurbished one on the cheap.
I found this AFTER I had already bought one from LOWES
Just posted it today. At least you’re aware. Did you get the one with the screws on the cables?
@@TechMadeEzy yes ,screws are there
I don’t know what the fixes have you spoken to EGO? I don’t know that they’re going to help you until you have an issue.
Remember two paw up for dog
Retail stores are NOT going to let you open each box they have in stock to "check for a couple nuts" to find out if it's a new or old production run.
Wouldn't'' you rather know than not know you might be buying a 2 stage that has a defect?
you didn't show how it worked
Here is one that might help you
th-cam.com/video/A1gJIO2Ld3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fVf6-rJspvWCUEeE
Don’t get your finger stuck
Why in the world would you not show the installation of that bracket? That is supposedly the fix and you just skipped over the installation. Then there was zero discussion about what that bracket actually does. Also the relationship between the upgrade kit and those screws is not explained at all. Totally confusing video.
If you watch the full video, I did mention that there are videos in the description one of them, showing how to install the bracket. Now cheer up and try and have a good day
Review useless without snow being blown.
2nd season with the 2 stage blower and single stage blower from ego....all 4 batteries a junk now. 5-10 minute run times.....should have bought a honda.
Excellent Review and heads up for those that may be considering a purchase 🫡
Thanks Colin I hope you are a subscriber, and what snowblower do you own by the way?
