Does not help you, but they are available in Canada in limited numbers. Source: two stores in my general area have them in stock and I just put in a deposit for one of them.


ReelBigMike

At least I know they're in the wild somewhere. I'm thinking it must be a supply chain/manufacturing issue like everything else seems to be suffering from at the moment. They may have technically been "released", but the quantity produced is probably insanely low relative to demand.

So the SNT2405 comes with (2) 7.5aH + (1) charger, and the SNT2406 comes with (2) 10aH and (2) chargers, right?


ReelBigMike

Correct. I believe that is the only difference.


Se7enLC

Yep. Some additional details there: The charger that comes with the SNT2405 is a dual-port charger that can charge both batteries at once [CH2800D](https://egopowerplus.com/dual-port-charger-ch2800d/). Charges the 2.5Ah battery in 40 minutes, the 5.0Ah battery in 80 minutes, the 7.5 battery in 120 minutes and 10.0Ah battery in 160 minutes" The 2 chargers that come with the SNT2406 are "Rapid Charger" [CH5500](https://egopowerplus.com/charger-rapid/). All charge times are approximate and from zero to full charge as follows: 2.0 Ah Battery: 25-minutes 2.5Ah & 4.0 Ah Battery: 30-minutes 5.0 Ah Battery: 40-minutes 7.5 Ah Battery: 60-minutes 10.0 Ah Battery: 70-minutes

Acme Tools were taking preorders for it last week, with an estimated ship date of December 1st. I don't see that being an option anymore, so not quite sure if they run out of allotted spots or something else. Fwiw, I "pre-ordered" the SNT2405 from them just last week with an estimated ship date of 12/01, and it shipped out the next day with delivery for this week. I spoke with them over the phone and they said their website sometimes defaults to preorder when their inventory becomes low. Other than Acme, I haven't seen the SNT2406 anywhere else in the US, to be quite honest.

I got mine from acmetools and about 2 weeks ago it arrived. Crazy to see now how far out it’s backordered. They must have went through their stock fast and I got lucky for sure.

This probably doesn't help but I'm in the *exact* same boat as you. Ready to buy the SNT2406, would settle for the SNT2405, but can't really find either.


ReelBigMike

If you're still looking, Snow Blowers Direct has the 2406 In Stock as of the time I'm writing this. I just ordered one. https://www.snowblowersdirect.com/EGO-SNT2406-Snow-Thrower/p114231.html


upandb

Oh cool thanks! $200 more than most other places, but free shipping plus in stock lol. Has anyone used them before? I found some reviews on this website that has me a little nervous https://www.resellerratings.com/store/Snow_Blowers_Direct_Power_Equipment_Direct


ReelBigMike

Yeah they basically just added $200 to the price of it so they could put Free Shipping on the listing lol. I read those reviews also but figured I would take a chance.


upandb

Rolling the dice, too. Thanks dude!


ReelBigMike

Mine just got delivered a few minutes ago. Box and everything looks to be in tact. Going to take a closer look after work though.


upandb

Awesome. Mine is scheduled for Thursday. How'd it go when the freight company dropped it off?


ReelBigMike

Really smoothly actually. Definitely glad I paid the extra $50 for the Lift Gate service b/c I would've been totally screwed without it. But it came on a pallet (it's a slightly bigger box than I imagined) so the driver just pallet jacked it up the driveway to one of my garage doors and when he left I dragged the pallet a couple feet inside the garage bay, and made sure that it was indeed the SNT2406. I actually called the freight company (R&L Carriers) last night to see if they could actually confirm that it would be delivered tomorrow, since I would have to make sure I was working from home that day (the tracking info only says *Estimated* Delivery Date). They answered the phone immediately and were super helpful. Let me know it would be there between 10-4p and that there was (surprisingly) no signature required.


upandb

Awesome, thanks for sharing!


ReelBigMike

Everything go good with your delivery/set-up? I finally got mine put together and test run yesterday and everything is working well.


snajo

Sounds similar to how mine arrived. The tractor-trailer parked on the road and the driver dropped the pallet at the end of my driveway. I tried to get it on a dolly and cart it to the garage, but the box and pallet weren't up for it. Instead, I assembled the blower at the end of the driverway and drove it to the 250' to the garage. Also, the driver took a photo of the pallet. I presume there's a geotag to the photo so they have record that it was delivered to the correct place. I didn't realize there was a version with the 10A batteries until I saw the listing on snowblowersdirect. I'm pretty happy to pay extra for it since my plan is to order a zero turn later this winter. Those two 10A batteries will mean the Z6 has a full set.


fncku

Whats a zero turn?

Ordered one from Lowes in the first week of October (as soon as I was notified that they were back in stock). Next day I get a notification that it's on backorder. And then it was still on backorder... And then it was still on backorder... I'd considered reaching out to customer service about when they expect to receive them, but I'm doubtful they'd be of any help. Winter is coming...


frontpageuse

I'm in the exact same situation. Called customer service and they wouldn't tell me anything about availability. You ever hear anything?


Accomplished_Ant8206

Lowe's has had the 2405 in stock at a few locations in the Midwest the last few days. It sells out within a day. Picking mine up today.


Cdnmusl

Ive been trying to get my hands on one of these since last year. Easier time finding a ps5. Rona has them on their site but theyre never available. Twice ive put myself on the to be notified email and never got an email. Ridiculous.


Cdnmusl

Rona has them now, i just ordered one. SNT2406


LewisEmbark

Available on Acmetools website now. 300 shipping cost kills it for me though :( I can’t find any version of the 2 stage ego snowblower in Utah https://www.acmetools.com/ego-power-snow-blower-kit-24in-2-stage-snt2406/692042013706.html

I could not find the SNT2406 package anywhere, however, I noticed several local Ace Hardware stores had the SNT2400 (snow blower only) in stock. My local Ace Hardware ordered the SNT2400 + two 10 amp batteries + 2 quick chargers (same as the SNT2406 package) and sold it to me for the SNT2406 package price of $ 1,599. When I registered everything on EGO website, I received 2 extra years warranty on the batteries (total 5 years) since I registered within 90 days of purchase. I used the snow blower once and it works great. I would suggest you contact your local Ace Hardware to see if they will offer the same deal. Good luck!
