| Drive & Handling | Push-propelled — at about 61 lb with packs it's the lightest machine in EGO's snow lineup, and the rubber-tipped auger tugs it forward as it grips pavement. The chute swings via a handle-mounted lever, dual LED headlights light the driveway, and the handle folds flat for wall storage. | No drive wheels, but the spinning steel auger gives a gentle pull once it touches pavement, so the 62 lb rarely feels like pushing. A variable auger-speed dial meters throw power, the chute rotates from a handle-mounted control, and twin LED headlights handle pre-dawn storms. |
