Thanks Tool Junkie. Being as all these electric blowers are mostly plastic in build, the Snow Joe may not be much different in build quality. I did note that the Snow Joe has a rubber tipped metal auger where as the Greenworks has a plastic auger. I believe the metal auger would potentially last longer, Also, the Snow Joe has a power actuated chute where as the Greenworks is manual. I like the power actuated chute but understand that it is one more thing that can fail. Is yours the 40 V or 80 V model? How long does your last before needing recharging and how long do you need to recharge it?
