At Squish Gardens, we’re all about making life a little easier and a lot more enjoyable—especially when the weather turns wild. This past winter in Missouri was no joke, but for the first time ever, clearing snow from my driveway didn’t feel like an all-day battle. The reason? My EGO 2-Stage Snow Blower.

Let me tell you—I love this machine. https://amzn.to/44Bp9aD

Before switching to battery-powered, I was stuck with a noisy, gas-guzzling snow blower that always seemed to need something: oil, gas, spark plugs, or just sheer willpower to get started. And if you’ve ever pulled a starter cord in subzero temps, you know how fun that is.

With the EGO 2-stage, there’s none of that. It’s fully battery-operated, which means no gas, no oil, no fumes, and no maintenance headaches. When the snow started piling up this past winter, I just popped in the batteries and it was ready to go. No warm-up time, no hassle. Just press a button and boom—instant power.

And let me tell you, this thing is powerful. We’re talking Missouri snow—thick, heavy, wet stuff. My driveway usually took half a day to clear with a shovel or my old gas blower. But with the EGO? I got it done in under an hour. One charge, one job, no sweat.

It’s quiet, efficient, and surprisingly fun to use. And the best part? I didn’t have to store gas, fiddle with carburetors, or do any pre-season maintenance. Just keep the batteries charged and you’re always ready for the next storm.

So if you’re on the fence about switching to electric outdoor tools, let me save you the trouble—do it. The EGO 2-stage snow blower has officially earned a permanent spot in my winter toolkit, and I honestly can’t imagine going back.

Stay warm, stay safe, and let the machines do the hard work.
