[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I purchased a battery powered snowblower and can honestly say it was a waste of money. It was the biggest one that Ryobi sells with two batteries and I bought two more batteries and charger for $1850. I told my work I would be in when I get done clearing the public sidewalk . They said okay. It took four hours to charge up four batteries that run the blower. After four hours I ran it for about an hour clearing the driveway down to the public sidewalk. Then, the batteries were drained. So I took them out to recharge them and I had to wait an hour or so in house room temperature because they were too cold to charge. Then after another four hours of charging I was ready to finish clearing the snow. I called work and said I won't be in today see you tomorrow. It was about 6:30pm in the dark when I got done. Three days later I returned the snowblower and batteries to Home Depot for  a refund. They gave me a gift certificate instead of cash. I purchased a Cub Cadet gas snowblower and wad told by the clerk the area I had to clear shouldn't take more than 15 minutes with the Cub Cadet. It took 11 hours with the battery one.[/quote]

Yeah, those battery powered ones suck. I would never buy a battery powered snow blower. I have a gas one and woke up early to clear 120 foot long driveway 30 foot wide up by the garage. I think I was done in 20 minutes. [/quote]
