Overview

The SNT2800 is EGO’s widest cordless two-stage here. Its 28-inch path and 21-inch intake put it in the same size class as many gas machines, and the manufacturer says two recommended 12.0Ah batteries can clear up to a 32-car driveway with 8 inches of snow on a single charge.

About this category — Battery power means push-button starts, no fuel or oil and much less noise than gas. A two-stage design uses a serrated auger to break up snow and a separate impeller to throw it, so it handles deeper and heavier snow than a single-stage machine. Runtime depends on battery capacity and snow depth, so check which batteries come in the box before you compare.

Battery runtime depends on the packs installed and may require a spare set for extended clearing

What the manufacturer documents add

Source: EGO SNT2800 owner’s manual and Amazon listing

EGO’s manual describes Peak Power as drawing on up to two 56V ARC batteries at once for run time and efficient power draw, and lists the machine at 181 pounds without batteries. That is a substantial weight, but the self-propel drive and the left and right turn levers (each disengages one wheel) are there to help you steer it. Tires are 16 inches and the manual gives 16 PSI as the cold pressure to check before the season.

Weather and cold are covered clearly. The machine is rated IPX4 (splash resistant) as long as the battery compartment is properly closed, and EGO recommends operating between -4°F and 50°F. The manual also tells owners to run the machine for a few minutes after clearing so moving parts do not freeze up.

Protection features include auger-motor overload sensing: if you take too big a bite, the auger slows and, if the overload continues, the motor shuts off. Two shear pins are protecting the gearbox and motor from damage when the auger hits something hard, and the manual lists replacement part numbers.

Ownership and upkeep

Ownership is simple: charge the packs after use, store them indoors above freezing, and wipe snow and salt off the housing and auger. Keep a spare battery in mind if you clear a large area, because runtime falls as snow gets deeper and wetter. Check that any battery you already own is compatible before counting it toward the cost.
