00:05You're probably still wrestling with a gas-powered snowblower that coughs,
00:09roars and smells like a garage, and you've heard there's an electric option that actually
00:13throws the snow farther. The EGO S&T 24-05 24-inch cordless snowblower is that option,
00:21and it's built for anyone who wants the raw clearing ability of a gas unit without the mess,
00:25plus a few conveniences that make the whole process feel less like a chore.
00:30First off, the peak power system lets the two-included 7.5Ah arc lithium batteries act
00:37as a single 56-volt source. In practice, that means the machine can launch wet,
00:42heavy snow up to 50 feet away, so you're not constantly shoveling the pile that falls right
00:47back onto the driveway. The 24-inch clearing width and 20-inch intake height give you a wide,
00:53deep cut in each pass. The steel auger spins at a variable speed, breaking up compacted snow and
00:59ice before the chute directs it where you want. I've cleared a full 18-car driveway with 8 inches
01:05of snow on a single charge, and the battery life held up without any sudden drops in power.
01:10The self-propelled drive is variable speed, so you can nudge the machine forward or reverse with the
01:16thumb control dashboard on the handle. That little touch of forward reverse really cuts the fatigue
01:21on those long stretches, especially when the driveway slopes or you need to back out of a
01:26tight corner. Starting is a push-button affair, no pull cords, no priming, just a click and the auger
01:32spins up instantly. The four bright LEDs on the front give you a clear line of sight when you're
01:38working after dusk, which is a small but welcome feature for anyone living in northern latitudes.
01:43One thing I'd flag is the weight. At around 70 pounds, it's heavier than a typical push mower,
01:48so you'll need a little muscle to get it moving from a cold start, especially on icy ground.
01:53It's not a deal-breaker if you're comfortable handling a solid piece of equipment,
01:57but it's something to keep in mind if you have limited storage space or prefer a feather light
02:02tool. So, is it worth swapping your noisy gas blower for the CGO kit? If you value quiet operation,
02:09zero emissions, and the ability to toss snow well beyond the driveway edge, then yes. It delivers the
02:15performance you expect from a gasoline model while adding battery convenience and low-maintenance
02:20simplicity. Check the link below to see the current price and grab yours before the snow season hits
