I bought the 40v 24" whisper model in November and had multiple issues the 1st time i used it. Emailed Ryobi with questions and they wanted me to send it in for their quick repair (like it was a drill or something). The next time i used it a few days later the same thing happened that you experienced with the auger (it was around 0 degrees out). I used it as a plow and just plowed my driveway at full speed since there wasnt a lot of snow and decided it wasnt worth it and im taking it back. Its warm out now and when i went to take it back i tried it and the auger works so something internal must be freezing because like yours i could manually turn the auger. Its getting returned for sure and i dont want to go back to gas unless i have to. So if anyone has had good luck with another battery snowblower please share
Thanks for your comment.
I’m very sorry to hear about your issues. It’s sad that even a few years after my issues, people are still having these problems.
As for another option,
Here is a link to my video I made about my option. The Toro Cordless electric snowblower.
ua-cam.com/video/Fz7wR2T-g5Q/v-deo.htmlsi=2kDX-6uWChNwbTc6
I’ve had it over a year now. This winter, we haven’t had much snow so I haven’t been able to use it much, but it’s worked flawlessly.
Nice to hear peoples' issues with stuff. As with most big box stores returning something isn't an issue however the travelling, and having to start all over assembling the thing is a total pain. I would have insisted on a rebate for all the wasted time. Apparently ryobi didn't test their product very well.
Thanks for your comment. It’s a shame that they have issues with their lawn and garden products. Ryobi stuff is normally very good.
Thanks!!
Thanks for posting this. I feel better now. Bought mine Jan-3-22 and it worked flawlessly on my big driveway walkway etc. with a 10 in wet New England snow. Today with about 20 inches fluffy snow it almost finished the driveway but stalled and that was it. Same clicking after it warmed up in the basement. HomeDepot was great, and since they are out of stock now, then gave me a nice credit on the exchange when it comes, snow comes, and I can give it another try.
Kudos on the video editing too.
Thanks for your comment! I’m glad you too experienced the same thing I did. I also feel better. I hope you are able to get a new snowblower from The Depot soon. We have another dump of snow expected in the next couple of days, so we will see if this new one continues to perform.
Thanks for the editing kudos, I started the channel to learn the art of making these UA-cam videos.
thanks for the video. Good to see they took care of you. I bought the Ryobi 40V 2 stage snowblower and love it.
I've seen many positive reviews on the Ryobi 2 stage. I'm very pleased it's working well for you.
Thanks for leaving a comment!!
You are VERY brave to reach in with your hand and turn the auger when you still have the battery installed.
Why, there’s no way that could turn on. Even if it did, that’s nothing.
That's what every person who shows up at the ER with their hand in a bloody towel says. LOL! @@mikehydroseed1282
I stumbled onto your channel from your Toro (your gonna really like it) video. Your videos are very well done. A well deserved like, and subscribe! Cheers
Thanks very much for the Kudos and subscribing!!
I’m still trying to figure out where to take my channel. I started the channel to learn about shooting video, editing and social media. It’s been a lot of fun learning.
I love feedback as it guides me. Thanks again for your comment!
Bought the 21" with the 2 batteries over a week ago. it showed up on sunday, I tested it and it was fine. went to use it last weekend on like 2", it was a just becuse, and it stopped working in the middle of the run. same exact symptoms. I was going to warranty it via ryobi directly, but I think I may just return it to Home Depot instead. thx! I thought it was just me.
Really like your filming style!
Thanks very much. I’m still
trying to learn the art of film making.
Very good. Love it.

I moved from Vancouver to Lethbridge back in April 2021. My buddy worked at Home Depot in Vancouver and convinced me to purchase the 40V Brushless Ryobi 21", with two 5aH batteries. I managed to clear my driveway twice and it died the same death as your machine. I returned it to Home Depot with the very same results as you. They were unable to give me the exact model that I returned so they sold me a 21" version with two 7aH batteries. The first time that I used this new blower I made 4 - 20 foot passes and it died as well. I again returned it to Home Depot, again they offered me a replacement, I decided to go with a 21" Gas Toro single stage snow blower. My experience with the Toro to date has been flawless. I have to say that the cleaning capabilities of the Ryobi and the Toro are quite comparable, they clean right down the the blacktop and they both throw the snow a good distance. My biggest complaint is the noise the Toro makes, it is loud!!! If the Ryobi figures out it's issue, it will be an excellent choice for any home owner. Thank you for sharing your story, I am glad, also sorry, that I was not the only person with this problem.
Thanks for your comment!!
As I mentioned in my video, Bought a 21" two battery snowblower last winter. It would randomly stop working. I had to releases the handle, then re-engage the safety handle and push the start button. very annoying, especially when it would sometimes do that every 10 seconds, but never consistently. Some reviews I found online with regards to Ryobi lawnmowers said the mowers did the same thing. The cause was micro "proximity switch" built into the folding handle bars. I decided to return it and buy a new model at the start of this winter shopping either Ryobi would redesign that model or buy a new model. That's how I ended up with the 18" snowblower. Although, I wish I had gone with another 21" unit. I'll make do with the 18". At the end of the day, it just means I need to take a couple more passes to clear my driveway.
I had considered the Toro, but I was adamant I did not want to deal with a gas powered unit again. The Toro Cordless electric did interest me, however the price of that unit (nearly $1000 after tax) was put-off. Feel in the next few years, Ryobi will figure out their issues and build a solid cordless snowblower that will be a clear choice for any home owner!
Thanks again for sharing your story, Nelson!
Did you take a look at your 18" snow blower to see if there is a switch at the bottom, where the handle connects to the body? I am aware that the two switches at the top of the handle exist. It is really too bad that Ryobi has cut corners and put these inadequate switches in their products. When I purchased my first Ryobi snow blower, I also purchase a 21" 40V brushless lawn mower. I used it all last year and I expect that I may encounter these same issues with it in the near future. Again I am glad that you posted your video, as I was unaware of these switches. If I knew about these switches, early enough, I would have kept my first snow blower and bypassed them. It was a very impressive unit when it worked!!
@@nelsonpeterson6718 on the 18” they have eliminated the proximity switched. I believe the big problem with the switches on the snowblowers is that in the cold, the gap opens as the materials contract in the cold. As the switches are mounted in a fixed non-adjustable position thus the gap can not be changed. In the lawnmower versions, the gap remains constant (more or less) as in the summer the mowers don’t see the extreme temperature changes my blower did going from 10°c in the garage to -25°c or colder outside. In my mind, my 21” blower would start cutting out after what I feel would be the time it would take to cool off from being in the garage.
I also feel the trouble I had with the 18” blower was a failed speed controller module. But I’ll never know for sure.
Thanks Nelson!
Thanks helped me decide to go with gas Toro over electric Ryobi
@@timstappler5522 A wise decision! My second unit just stopped working in the same way as the first, on Sunday while cleaning about 10 cms of light fluffy snow. I’m done with this brand of snowblower. I’ll have to figure out what’s next.
Thanks for your comment!
Talked to our local HD manager about the Ryobi 40v snowblowers. He said he sold about 6 of them last winter, all were returned. Just not heavy duty enough for our snowfall here in northern Minnesota. I have a 26 inch two stage gas snowblower that is going strong after 20 years, so I am set. I just got the Ryobi 40v Powered Snow Shovel, which is good for really light duty work like cleaning sidewalks and decks, but not much more. Like anthing, you have to match the tool to the job.
Well said!
Thanks for leaving your comment!
Unfortunately there are a lot of defective ryobi snow blowers. I work at Home Depot and a lot of the snow blowers were returned for the same problem you had.
Thanks for your comment John!!
When they asked me what was wrong with it, and I said “it just stopped working”, all they said was “ok”. Lol. That’s when I figured they have seen a lot of returns. It seemed to make things easier for them when I told them I just wanted to get a new one.
Thanks again for the comment. 👍🏽
John what is your opinion on the Ryobi 2 stage snow blower? Has that one been returned as much? I had the Ryobi whisper series break with the same problem as seen here and exchanged for the 2 stage.
@@seanharte10 unfortunately I have no experience with the 2 stage model. Maybe John M can add a comment?
@@seanharte10 If you're going to go with a electric two-stage snowblower I've done a lot of research.
I would go with the Toro E24 or E26, the E26 is your best bet because it has hand warmers, automatic steering, and 7.5 AH batteries. It's built like a tank like the gas version just with an electric motor The parts are identical other than the motor.
The next would be the Snow Joe two stage
They came out with 100 volt one that's fantastic Not as good as the Toro but it's a little bit cheaper.
Then I would go with the Ryobi and the ego two-stage snow blowers. The ego has a super fast charger but they've had problems with the batteries.
IS THE REALITY CHECK FOR TWO STAGE BATTERY POWERED SNOW BLOWERS NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY..
THEY WILL NEVER LAST MORE THAN 30 MINUTES IN ANYTHING OVER 6 IN OF SNOW WITH THE PROVIDED BATTERIES THEY HAVE!! AND THEY TAKE 3 AND 1/2 HOURS TO CHARGE OTHER THAN THE EGO WHICH IS A FAST CHARGER AT 1 HOUR.
In a big storm with like two feet of snow you're going to be going in every 25 minutes to charge your batteries that take 3 and 1/2 hours. Either that or you have to buy a couple of sets that'll run you $1,000..
They work just as good as gas ones Maybe even better. Electric has more torque. But what's the point If you have to keep charging them constantly batteries only last about 5 years if you take care of them Then you better spend another $300 a piece to buy new ones.
The Toro PowerMax E26 and E24 actually have a third battery port which is cool.
They're all very expensive with the Toro being the most expensive but you get what you pay for it's a better machine. The parts are available just like the gas ones they are identical. Easy to service built like a tank..
These battery powered two-stage thrower's are only good for a free car driveway 10 ft wide with a small backyard and small front yard. Anything else you're buying lots of batteries and fast chargers You're better off buying the gas version!!
@@muzikmon2267 thanks for the input. I don’t have the biggest drive way and actually have other Ryobi 40v batteries from their leaf blower and lawn mower so that’s why I’m so intrigued by the Ryobi set up. I had a feeling toro would be the best since I had their gas snow blower for years now. If it wasn’t for me having so many of their batteries I would of went toro but I will give ryobi a go and they were very helpful with their customer service thus far. Appreciate the input guys!
I had a similar issue with their electric lawn mower. In that case it was a “feature” that if the collapsible handles are not fully extended and locked then it shuts off. Mowing by a bush it had unlocked one of the handles without me realizing and it shut down. Once I extended and locked the handle I was back mowing.
bought mine last year December 2022 and after one use the belt broke. got it replaced and used it this year Nov 2022 and I only got one use out of it before it just stopped working.
Bobby, thanks for your comment.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your snowblower. On the bright side, you are among good company with hundreds of people with very similar experiences. When the Ryobi snowblower works, it works very well. But they don't work for very long. I hope you are able to get warranty from the place you bought yours. Let us know how you make out with yours.
This year, I've gone with a Toro 60V snowblower. I've used it a few times and so far so good. I'll be posting a video about it soon. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already so you will know when I post it.
Thanks again for your comment.
@@GeoSphere I’ll keep you posted. I just got off the phone with Ryobi, they say it’s got a 5 year warranty. Now I have to take it to a service center. What a pain. It’s not even a year old.
Glad you have a direction to get it working again. It is a pain, you don’t need it away at a repair center when you really need it for the winter! Is yours the 18 inch or the dual battery 21inch?
@@GeoSphere dual battery 21”
I found with some of the ryobi products the battery connections on the unit arent able to touch the battery right
Hello great video, I got the Greenworks 40 for Christmas this year basically the same as the Ryobi for clearing the snow on the ice rink. I’m In Dawson Creek so we experienced the same weather and mine died the same way during the cold spell after Christmas. Took It to the local licensed greenworks warranty guy before returning It and he received the official letter right away for me to return It to the store for a replacement. The circuit board was to blame and none available to replace. Second works great.
Hi! Thanks for your comment! Yes Dawson Creek isn’t far and we do get similar weather.
I had looked at the GreenWorks before going with Ryobi. Sounds like the same issue as mine.
I’m glad GreenWorks is standing by their product.
1yr later
how is it doin' ?
Just bought the 21" now waiting for snowfall 😊
Thanks for your question!
Unfortunately, as explained in that video I wasn’t able to find a snowblower from Ryobi that would work reliably.
I ended up returning the Ryobi snowblower at the end of the season for an in store credit. In the fall, about this time last year I bought the Toro 60v snowblower.
It has work flawlessly for me.
I made a video about buying it and using it and it bit of a Review video. Check it out on my channel.
Thanks again for your comment!!
Great video love the vibe keep it up definitely gained a new subscriber
Awesome! Thanks very much for your comment! I try to make fun videos about the little things in my world. It’s not easy to take something dull and make it not seem so dull.
Thanks again for the feedback and for subscribing!
Thanks for doing the video. Your gorgeous dog looks quite content in the snow!! I bought the 21" version from HD (in Ontario) in the Fall and have used it 5 times so far, albeit with not much quantity. We have a 2 day storm forecast for tomorrow so I'll be running it hard again. I also did a video showing mine in action due to all the negative reviews there are out there. I have a 30 year old 2 cycle that I refuse to get rid of before I am convinced mine will continue to run. So far the lawnmower and leaf blower have performed very well.
Hi Rich! Thanks for your comment.
Last year I bought the 21" Ryobi 40V dual battery snowblower. It performed very very well. However, the problem I experience was intermittent cutting out of it when in use. Simply re-cycling the start up procedure would get it going again. It would run for anything from 2 minutes to 10 seconds. after some research online, I found similar reports to my experience on Ryobi lawnmowers. Lawnmowers with the same folding handlebar system. A system that used Proximity switches where the handle bars folded to prevent the motor from running while the handle bars where not locked in position. Apparently with the cold and vibrations, the gap would open slightly and the unit would stop. So I returned the Snowblower a couple weeks after I bought it. By this time it was end of Feb. I figured that there wasn't much winter left, so I decided to wait until the fall and buy an updated model.
Thats what I did.
I hope yours has worked well with your recent snowfall.
Cheers!
I had the same thing happen with the Ego single stage. On my second or third use It just stopped working and an amber indicator light on he unit came on indicating that a circuit board failure occurred. Ego sent me another unit which I used the following season but sold and went back to a gas unit. Since I didn't own other Ego tools which used the same batteries that I could swap out. I usually ran out of power clearing the snow the plow left at the end of my driveway. I would have to stop for 90 minutes to charge both batteries up. I've had one and 2 stage units but have always preferred a great single stage gas unit over a 2 stage. It's more maneuverable and with is shorter chute clogs up less when handling slush. Even when it does clog you can easily clear the lighter weight machine by rocking it up and down on the ground. You can't clear a heavier 2 stage with its longer chute by rocking it. You have to stop and use that on board tool to clear it. Although the single stage shouldn't be used for snowfalls above 10 inches. I've used it on snowfalls of 18 inches without a problem.
Joe, thanks very much for your comment! I agree that a good single stage has its advantages over a two stage for lighter, fluffy snow and depths that are up to 12”. It’s really unfortunate that the cordless electric units just aren’t as dependable/reliable as the more established gasoline versions. Maybe in the next few years cordless will get better.
For me, it was all about the size, weight, noise (very quiet) and ease of off-season storage that made me go electric over my old gas unit.
Thanks for your story about your experience Joe!!👍🏽
How long did you have the unit before you returned it
I had this model (I went through 2 units) from November to March. So, a total of 4 months.
I have a couple of corded electric snow blowers and battery machines. At least on the snow blowers I have to press the button in Before I pull the handle back. Hope it may help someone out. Bill
Thanks for leaving a comment, Bill!
It’s interesting that different manufacturers do thing differently. The Ryobi and my new Toro Cordless snowblowers the safety handle needs to be pulled in before pressing the button. I wish there was a standard across all manufacturers.
Thanks again!!
lol the manual clearly says, Do not use appliances in locations where the temperature is less than -4°F or more than 100°F.
I had the same issue with the 21 inches and I got a refund because there is a recall from Ryobi so I decided to buy a Toro 60V and I dont regret it the two of them dont compare at all knowing now the difference Toro is the way to go
Ronald, that’s very interesting about the recall. Do you know any more about it? My second on, (the one from the video) just quit on me and is doing the same thing as the first.
It’ll be brought back to HD. 😡
@@GeoSphere It is at Home Depot that I got this info and because of this they refund me after 3 month because they did not have another one to give me and probably because I bought it on a plan (one year no interest) so I decided to buy a Toro instead to replace it and I really really like the Toro 60V
the relay is broken, on the deadmans switch,
At a guess I would say either a blown fuse or lose wire to be the cause of the breakdown. Am I right?
Thanks for your comment!
I’ve heard that it’s a blown control board. It’s unusually common, so I’ve been told. A fault in design or in manufacturing.
as a small youtuber my self, i never leave comments, but i really want to thank you for making this video. great editing skills. All my tools are ryobi but i think i will pass for the snow blower. i have a snowjoe that died exactly the same way yesterday and i think it will do exactly the same with a ryobi. i guess you get what you paid for! my wallet will cry but i think i will go for a Ego or Toro. keep up the good work!
Thanks very much for your comment and your praise of this video!! I really appreciate your feedback! As a small youtuber, I still haven’t found my Niché about what content to create. I love creating and all aspects. I started this channel to learn all about Video creation, cameras, lighting sound, story telling and editing. It’s been a lot of fun so far.
As for the snowblower, if money wasn’t a concern, I certainly would have gone with Toro or Ego as well. But I thought Ryobi would be good and I can get rid of my gas string trimmer (weed eater) for a Ryobi 40V and share the battery/charging system. I may end up going Dewalt for the string trimmer.
Ryobi is great at some things but at the moment, not the best at snowblowers.
Thanks again and I’ll be subscribing to your channel to help support you!
@@GeoSphere i say you are a natural. camera angles are great, transitions are smooth, stories is captivating yet right to the point...keep it up. you don't need to subscribe me, i don't know what to create either haha.
as for the snow blower, money is indeed a concern...1000-1500$ seems excessive.
i have everything else ryobi, including a 18volt trimmer. so far it served me 2 summer without any problem. ryobi is a great brand...i just cant trust its snowblowers.
Any idea what caused it to seize up?
Thanks for watching the video. I don’t know exactly what caused it to stop working. However, I have found out from sources at the Home Depot (unofficially) that the control boards have an unusually high failure rate.
Whatever that means. lol
It's a switchboard short that your getting, a shop here told me they have at least 10 of them, the part comes from China, and they say that they have no stock of the part, so Ryobi is forced to replace every snowthrower.
Nathan. Thanks so much for leaving a comment!! Also, thanks for this information regarding the cause of the problem. I’ve heard from many many people who all have experienced the same issue. It seems there is a fault/defect in the manufacture of these switchboards. I hope the replacement boards coming from China are more robust than the ones installed new at the time of assembly in the factory. As well, I hope Ryobi will make changes in their next production run for next season.
Thanks again!
@@GeoSphere No problem, happy to help! I am currently working on designing a better aftermarket switch board but we'll have to see how it stands the test of time.

I’m looking to buy a snow blower. Have you tried any good ones?
It will happen again. I am now on my 2nd ryobi snowblower and it's dead as well. Same problem as yours, both times. I am in GP also. Closest repair center is Edmonton. I have to pay for shipping there and they pay for it back. Fail!
Thanks for your comment. Wow, you can’t return it to where you bought it? Or has the return period ended so your only option is the repair center?
I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience as well. I like Ryobi as a brand. But their lawn and garden 40V range has yet to prove itself.
Thanks again for commenting!
same here, same symptom. Home depot was great to work with on the return process, but it sounds like they have their practice with the ryobi tools. I went with a 21' toro gas model- fool me twice, shame on me.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience! Like you, if this next one gives me grief again, I’ll seriously look at another option (fool me twice…), like Toro. However, I’m still convinced that cordless electric is best for my needs. Toro has a very nice cordless electric, but the price scared me away originally. But, like someone in a previous comment said, “you get what you pay for”.
Thanks again for checking in!!
Don't think Toro 60V cordless snow blower is better. I used my new Toro 60V cordless snow blower on Dec 22 for the first time. After about 10 minutes, it died. I could not turned it on again. Battery was fully charged. The Toro was retuned to Home Depot.
Ummmm, why did you have to wait until it stopped snowing? Do you melt in the snow? Why not clear it at 8" deep, then come back out the next day and clear the next 8"??
Hahahaha. That’s a good question. I think I waited so I could really test the snowblower. But to be honest, probably because I’m a bit lazy. I didn’t want to have to do it twice. 😊
The quality (and the price) of Ryobi is one ore two steps below EGO or Toro.
Agreed I was considering the Toro, but the price and the return policy in general of the Home Depot gave the edge to Ryobi when it C’s me time for me to buy.
GMC and a Ryobi, Are you sure you're not a Masochist?
A little late to comment here but I own a ryobi lawm mower that had same issues as your snow blower. The problem is the switches ryobi uses. They are super cheap and go bad really quickly. You can take the handle apart and get a switch from the electronics store for about 5$
I am going to purchase that blower you have with the intention that it will fail one day but I'll know how to fix it.
Shame on ryobi!
@@pcho8022 thanks for leaving your comment. I agree. I found information online about the proximity switch in the handlebars on the lawnmowers. If the snowblower wasn’t new, I would have replaced or bypassed the switch system. But it’s new and I should have to do that.
I ended up buying Toro and haven’t had a single issue with that unit. It was definitely worth the extra money. I made a video about that snowblower if you want to search for it in my channel.
Thanks again for your comment!!
@@GeoSphere you would think that Ryobi would learn from the bad batches and eventually release units with updated hardware. I own a hedge trimmer from them that just died one season with very light use. Unfortunately i'm one of the people that invested in their batteries and tools so I have quite a bit of products from them. The drills and impact wrenches seem to be quite decent. I'll check out your Toro blower video later. Cheers
great videos by the way! i like your editing and no wasted time on talking about BS!
@@pcho8022thanks so much That! I try hard to make the videos interesting and to the point.
Cheers!!
My Ryobi RST36B51 Snovblower, had a big failure today. It wont run constanly, and it stops when I push throu snow… The snowblower is 2 year and 10 day old today. So the wananty is out.
The quality og Ryobi sems to be por.
I can not recomend Ryobi.
I saw you godt the Ryobi problem to times now.
Well it sounds like the guy from home depot said they're all doing it so you probably got another one that's gonna fail
You are probably right. But I’m hopeful. Even if they have a 40% failure rate, I’m hoping that this time I have one of the 60% that will keep working. 🤞
Thanks for your comment!!!
@@GeoSphere I would call Ego just so they have you on file and may they can ck Serial number maybe they can tell you that's a bad batch And send you out a new one! I have there products I have Dealt with them,they're good ! Good luck!
I cleared a lot of snow with ry40806vnm model. Second time I used it I got about 20' and it stalled. Now it just clicks when I go to start it. I bought it from direct tools. Hopefully I don't have to pay for return shipping.
@@YeahYeahItsJustin sounds like yours did what mine did. Good luck with the return. Let’s us know here how you make out!
#SNOWJOE any good? can you bypass the safety?wooof woof dog loves it :) love the video signed up to................
Hey Surferjo! Thanks for the comment and subscribing!! I have heard good things about Snowjoe. Unfortunately no retailers here a send the one there is (Home Depot) only had 1 model they carry in the store and they were sold out.
I might have to buy online if this one I have now breaks down. 👍🏽
Your first mistake was buying a battery powered snowblower
😂 you might be right!
Gas snowblower every day all day long!
FYI well he's pretty good but you better off going with Toro.. I had an 15 volt power curve corded snowblower for about 10 years before something happened.
I also make better battery powered snow blowers they also use the highest quality battery cells.. outs and more reliable better quality.
Why would you go from a gas snowblower which look like a two-stage to a single stage. That is not a good choice.
I just went from a single stage electric snow Joe 21-in high quality which is also fantastic It's heavy duty and it's got a cord
To a two-stage snowblower battery powered.
That seems like the better move.
Single stages you have to push and push and push and push and push which is okay for 6 in and below as long as it's not too heavy and wet. Anything more I would want us two stage so we'll push for you chop it down and push for you.
Thanks for your comment!!
I did consider Toro. They are very highly rated. But for me, the price point was too high.
As for going electric, I was tired of a gas blower. They are loud, they rattle and buzz, they are smelly & heavy and take up a lot of room in my shed in the summer for storage. The electric cordless is small, compact and very light weight. The snow I get in my part of the world is very light and fluffy. Never wet and heavy. The amount of driveway and walkway is small so I don’t need a big snowblower anymore. My old gas blower I used when we lived in the country and had a huge area to clear.
Thanks again for your comment!!
@@GeoSphere oh I didn't even think of that I thought the price was about the same as the one you had..
