This is little more than stock footage with someone reading (and sometimes mis-reading, such as saying "18" of snow") quotes from each blower's marketing materials. Not quite "useless", but definitely a waste of eight minutes if you've already looked at the marketing materials.
I bought the ego blower last year and it worked like a champ. Last spring while knocking down a 5 ft drift the little plastic shovel/scraper got knocked off the top and went into the blades. It has been in the shop waiting for parts to show up for over 5 months. Go for the Toro!!
@@TheDeal4412 I initially thought it would be shear pins but it took out the transmission. Fortunately the fixed it under warranty but the winter was over before I got it back
Have you noticed if the scraper bar on the EGO is slightly bent - either bending downwards or upwards? Mine has a slight bend upwards. Is this common? Thanks!
For the most part, there are few parts that should be diy replaced here (this isn't small engine repair). Shear pins (Ego), tires, scrapers, etc, are all easily ordered from Ego directly or bought at your local Lowes or Ace. I believe Toro prefers Home Depot to Lowes, but the same thing there. For more significant repairs, all the major battery tool companies have qualified repair sites all over the place. I'm in central PA, far from any major city, and have one service center for my lawn tools (Greenworks is the brand I'm using, but similar story with Ego or especially Toro) literally less than a ten minute drive from me, and another about fifteen minutes away and one little town over.
People just need to realize that the batteries are expensive and to take that into consideration. We have incredible technology in better batteries we are just not allowed to use it. Maybe in a couple of years they will release it, we have bad people in the wrong places that need to go first.
This is one of the least helpful videos I've ever seen. I miss when UA-cam showed the number of down votes.
Yeah, why is that? I never see any thumbs down
This is useless, should of put them against each other in real world testing here .
Useless review. “You pick the winner” is the final verdict.
Agree, completely useless review.
Ego just upgraded the 24 inch and also has a 28 inch 2 stage now for this season 😊
Great upgrade.
Toro powerforce! I'm 60 and this little guy even goes through the snow wall street cleaners leave me!!
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I couldn't agree more. 😵💫

Thanks for your suggestion.
Reviews never consider after sales support. Toro has a robust dealer network. Good luck contacting Ego or Greenworks
This could happen to any snowblower....gas or electric. Usually the shear pins break and you just replace them.

do u still use it? or reoemcned toro?@@jimparr5412
More like an advertisement to me than a review, maybe I'm the only one? If priced similarly and with my 100 ft driveway, I would go with the Toro.
Thanks for your opinion.

Yes, it is common.
My experience is Ego is very difficult to get serviced and do not have the same level of Customer Support and Repair Depots that Toro have.
thank you for sharing your experience, hope they'll improve it soon
Major concern if repairs or parts (d,i,y) are needed how close are repair centers and parts?
It depends on your location & shop near you.
@@tools-zone Just guessing but for parts and repairs if needed TORO seems to be more convenient

Why does the pic show a gas SS against a 2 stage battery? Makes no sense.
Doesn’t even review the right blower where the proper one
Ego all the way!

@@quantumfx2677 you are so very accurate in this comment! As a somewhat compulsive person, I know you state truth.
@@quantumfx2677 maybe Tesla will help here
@@rhdtv2002 did you see the Tesla towers in Milford Texas on UA-cam? Interesting.
this Braxton, I think. the Ego power wins.
How much does it cost to replace those batteries.
My 10hp Murray Pro 30 inch (2007) 2 stage Tecumseh engine runs forever.😂
Great!
EGO easy winner. 👍
