Clearance on Ego snowblowers - $899 (YMMV)

I had to keep clearing the chute every two minutes.

It’s too bad I can’t return this.

FYI; I’m referring to the 2125 model. It snowed about 1.5-2 inches in Hamilton today. Now to be fair I wasn’t expecting it to be a breeze but wow did it ever struggle.

I guess it’s only good for the really light stuff and to be honest , I don’t think the metal auger could have done any better.

Just my two cents.

Just came across an Ego RFD thread if it is helpful: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/officia ... d-2413016/

In that thread it was suggested to get the steel auger from here:
https://www.partswarehouse.com/EGO-Rota ... 386002.htm
and to use coupon GET10 for 10% off

In the thread, some mention replacing it might void the warranty (did not verify). Also it was mentioned that rubber might be better if your driveway is interlock or concrete (although this was also disputed).

I have been using the rubber auger for several years and find it can handle pretty much anything. Don't shove it full on into the big pile - just chew through it bit by bit. The unit is so light i can just lift it over the bigger piles and chew the pile from the other side as well until it all yields. Maybe just give it a chance, although I suppose it might be faster with the metal.

I love how compact the unit is - i stick it up on a shelf in the garage for the off season.

It works well on regular shovel also. Makes it so snow slides easily off and don't stick.
Apply when dry and let it evaporate before using it.
