EGO SNT2405

Should you buy the EGO SNT2405?

The EGO SNT2405 is for a homeowner with a long driveway and heavy snow who is done with gas, oil and pull cords. At $1,649.00 it ranks #2 of 10 in Snow Blowers and is the only cordless two-stage here. The PowerSmart 24-Inch 212cc matches its 24-inch width and 50-foot throw for $999.99 if you can live with gas upkeep. For paved driveways and lighter snow, the EGO SNT2112 scores higher at $649.00.

Where it earns its score

• Best owner rating here. 4.6 stars across 367 ratings gives the top satisfaction score in the category, 92.
• Two-stage without gas. A variable-speed steel auger and a 20-inch intake handle deep, heavy snow and throw it up to 50 feet.
• Self-propelled both ways. Variable-speed drive in forward and reverse from the handle dashboard takes the effort out of a big machine.
• Big runtime. Two 7.5Ah batteries are rated for an 18-car driveway at 8 inches of snow, and they fit the whole EGO 56V line.

What to know first

• Value is the lowest factor at 66. $1,649.00 is the highest price here and $649.01 more than the gas PowerSmart 24-Inch 212cc.
• Battery care matters. Store the packs indoors between storms, as with any lithium-ion tool, to get full runtime in the cold.
• Big to store. It is a full-size two-stage machine, so measure your garage or shed space before you buy.
