How much snow can it handle?

It is built for light, dry snow of a few inches. Wet or deep snow will slow it and may clog the chute.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on snow depth and battery size. Expect a short session on one 20V pack, so a spare battery helps on larger areas.

No. It is a push unit, so you walk behind and steer it yourself.

That depends on the kit version. Check the listing for whether a battery and charger are included before buying.

It is quieter, lighter and needs no engine upkeep, but a gas two-stage blower clears deeper, wetter snow and throws it farther.

It works on paved driveways, walkways and decks. Avoid gravel, which can be thrown by the auger.
