Is the EGO Power Shovel good for clearing a driveway? Not really! Check out some of the shortcomings of these amazing tools here:

[@michaelanderson6764]

Thanks for making this video. Addressed the exact questions I had.

[@suburbanacreage]

Brush is a BEAST on the lighter snow but man it doesn’t take much to bog it down. Heavy and wet snow would be even worse. It really depends on where you live and what kind of snow fall you see.

[@michaelstaschke9022]

I think it’s worth buying both. The shovel for deeper snow, and the brush to get it nice and clean after.

[@suburbanacreage]

I mean, that’s what I did, haha. Both good tools for their intended purpose.

Living in Florida now... but sure could have used tools like this when I was in Alaska... however probably gonna get one next year for wet leaves cleanup. The oak trees here drop leaves for months... uhhg. Again... great video!

[@suburbanacreage]

Thanks for watching! Wet leaf cleanup is always a drag. I bet the brush would rip right through.

Anyone aware of a way to adapt ego to universal attachments? Ego to DeWalt or ego to Ryobi etc

[@billythygoat]

So I live in and only have seen snow once, however, What if there was a mini rotating bristle brush behind the power shovel? Like Shark has Duoclean vacuums for indoor, but I feel like Ego could definitely do some tests see if it makes the shovel even more versitile.

[@suburbanacreage]

You might be onto something here!

[@jimfath]

What about heavy/wet snow? This looks like mostly sub 27 degree snow that is a lot lighter. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm assuming the advantage goes to the power shovel but does it even handle wet snow at all? I live in Ohio and we get a good amount of early and late snow fall that is wet and heavy.

[@suburbanacreage]

You’re 100% right, it was fairly cold and all the snow tested was pretty light. The more snow there is and the heavier it is, the more the brush struggles to keep up. The power shovel on the other hand, does surprisingly well even when the snow is wet and heavy. Obviously it doesn’t throw it as far as when the snow is light and powdery, but it does okay.

[@TheLumberJacked]

The ideal scenario for winter cities that trend colder is, IMHO, to use the snow blower attachment first, and then follow up with the brush to remove tracked or compacted snow. So it’s the perfect way to treat those surfaces that get walked or driven on before you get home to clean the snow off the driveway. So really, it’s a one two punch, vs choosing only one or the other. 😊

We just had our deck redone with Trex composite decking. We are interested in getting the shovel vs the brush (maybe we will get both though) but our concern is that the shovel will scratch the deck with the auger. Based on your usage have you noticed any scratching of your deck boards or is there enough clearance so that it just glides along and doesn't chip away the decking?

[@suburbanacreage]

Damn man, what’s it like to be rich? Haha, seriously nice upgrade and I’m super jealous. The bristle brush broom will definitely NOT do any kind of damage to it, that’s the safest route. The auger and housing are all plastic on the power shovel attachment so I don’t think it would be a problem. I definitely wouldn’t use a shovel or anything with a metal edge on it but both of these tools should be safe for composite. Enjoy the heck out of that deck until then!

@@suburbanacreage thanks man! Appreciate the info. Great video by the way!

[@geekandi]

so here I thought you lived in MN, like you used to, but clearly this is fake considering we haven't gotten snow in MN
Worst winter ever!

[@suburbanacreage]

Right?! This video almost didn’t get made this year because of lack of snow.

[@geekandi]

@@suburbanacreage yea what a horrible season it has been; so disappointing
