Let's get this out of the way first. It's not a gas-powered blower and shouldn't be expected to perform like one. That said, for your typical suburban property this is pretty much ideal. Does 4 to 6 inches of snow (10 to 15 cm) no problem, and 8 to 12 inch drifts (20 to 30 cm) without much problem, you just have to slow down a bit. Small and light enough to work around obstacles on my patio, or one-handed operation in the driveway if the snow isn't too deep.
"Throws snow up to 20 feet" was written by marketing. It's technically true, under ideal conditions the snow won't go more than 20 feet. My engineering brain would have said throws 10 to 15 feet. It's far enough to throw across a sidewalk but for a driveway you'll want to start going down the middle and throwing to each side. It does throw farther if the snow is deeper - if there's not enough snow then it tends to just create a cloud instead of a stream of snow.
Runs about an hour on one charge. That's enough to do my driveway, sidewalk, patio and back walk.
Can't say yet how well the batteries will age. Definitely get the version with the steel auger, it's worth the extra money.
I'd rate it as a light to medium duty machine. If you have to do serious work, you probably need to step up to something else but for what it is, it's pretty much perfect.
A quick add - we just had a 10 to 12 inch (25 to 30 cm) snowfall. The blower handled it like a champ. I had to go at a more measured pace, and the batteries only lasted 45 minutes under the heavier load. But no problem. Went through drifts that were higher than the top deck of the machine - the chute looked like a snorkel poking up out of the snow. Still no problem. If there is enough snow to keep the chute full, it throws an honest 20 feet. Maybe a little better.
I'm going to upgrade my assessment to a full medium duty. It's done everything I could ask of it.
