I purchased this on Amazon. Let’s start with what I am using: I am using a 10+ year old 24 inch blower. This blade is a must! I do have a couple of critiques, but it doesn’t change the rating. Every snow blower should have this as an option from the manufacturer.

Wet/heavy/slush over 2 inches - there is nothing outside of 96” blade on a full size truck that will address that. Hence picture of neighbour’s drive done by a professional plough, and mine with the throw blade. When that stuff comes in; yes, you will need to clear through the night, or pay a professional. Done and said.

The assembly is straightforward enough. The manufacturer should, on its outside packaging and instructions make more prominent of the video link. What would be a suggestion for improvement/support; provide the part numbers for replacement and a link to order.

Assembly - as said, straightforward and simple enough. Personally, take the side rails off when you use the templates
Of course, you need to be satisfied with the leveling of the blowers blade. If you are going to load your blower up in a hitch carrier, (again) mine is a 24 inch blower. When you put the side brackets on, you are now looking at 26+ inches. My carrier is 28 inches.

If you have a blower over 24 inches, I can understand some of the complaints when trying to push the snow. You are not going to be able to get the same angle/deflection as a more narrow blower. I honestly do not have a recommendation for the manufacturer about this because when you pull one side in; that arm may get too clow to the tyre and make contact.

Upside and absolute necessity of having this; at lowest (or ground) setting, if there is any ice chunks, road debris, and rocks - the blade will push it aside and you don’t have to worry about the augers and shear pins.

Now, this is shouldn’t distract anyone from buying this. It is an honest recommendation to the manufacturer; put two holes at the bottom of the side plates. This would allow the user to bring the blade an inch (or two) off the ground. That way, if there is a heavy, or accumulation of snowfall overnight, it provides a balance of use of the blade and using the augers. For the moment, I am using heavy duty magnets to do this. When winter is done, I will take the side plates to our local machinist/bodyworks and have the side plates modified.

Will I buy it again - YES.
Do I recommend this - YES!

Good

Well made. Fit to a 28" Ego 2-stage.
Adds versatility, front ballast and battery runtime when used to consolidate or tidy up.

My dream, deluxe package would have a lift arm and a down position lock, or even a light duty hydraulic kit..

I love this thing. I have EGO snowblower 24 inch and it fits perfect. The document was straightforward and easy to follow. I used it on our big snowstorm we had in NJ this past January 2026 and it worked with no problems. It is a great addition to your snowblower . I would HIGHLY recommend.

So far it’s Great! Easy to install following the video instructions.
Used it and was very impressed. Had my neighbours over asking about it and they were impressed at how easy it was to adjust, but just how well built it is. Saskatchewan snow tough now!
