✅ Too Much To Handle? Battery Powered Snow Shovel vs Snow Blower - Greenworks 40v GMax - 10in Snow
Ғылым және технология
10in wet snow test for 40v battery powered Greenworks GMax power shovel and snow blower. Lets put these two tools to the test to see which one I like the most and can they replace my big gasoline snow blower and hand shovel? These have virtually no maintenance; no oil, no gas, no spark plugs or carbs to clog up. The power shovel is 12in wide cutting path and the snow blower is 20in wide. The shovel actually has a stronger "bite" and can cut thru deeper snow than the blower in my testing. This video is not sponsored.

I live in Texas, now, and don't have a horse in that race (grew up in the Mid-West and remember the winter snows). Interesting results shovel vs blower (snow type/snow depth). Different tools for different tasks! I wasn't familiar with Ego brand, but they look interesting. I have Greenworks leaf blower and I can tell you it puts my old corded blower to shame. I did'nt want the noise/pollution and upkeep of a gas driven tool. I'm a big believer in battery based anything, now that the technology has matured (and continues to do so). Thanks, Nate!
Thanks for the video, was wondering about the powered snow shovels since i don't have a big walkway/driveway but they seem to do a pretty darn good job! Loved the 2 camera angles so we could see it from both perspectives !

Biggest problem with them is they only blow snow straight ahead. Really must work with the wind or you get covered, and they are hard on your back because all of the weight is on the end so when you lift it you really feel a pull in your back.

Try shoveling with 2/3 of the width of the blower. I used to own a B&D lawn mower. It would bog down with a moist lawn. But cut pretty good with just 2/3 of the mower. My electric snow blower is the same. It struggles in the slushy wet snow. You gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done.

This is one of the BEST product reviews I've seen to date of a Greenworks snow blower and snow shovel in action! I've owned my home for almost a year now (as of this writing) and have been a satisfied Greenworks 40V tool user (16" mower, ~13" string trimmer, and the ~450 CFM leaf blower.) Well, the string trimmer isn't doing so great, but I digress. As my driveway and walkway are small I've been looking into upgrading to a cordless machine as my old corded Toro snow shovel's bearings aren't sounding healthy. Michigan winters (when we do get snow) is usually wet and heavy, so I'll look more closely at the power shovel instead of the blower.

I have the 80v version of the snow shovel and it's honestly fun to use. It practically replaced my gas snow blower. I have trouble starting my gas snow blower and don't have a heated place to work on it to troubleshoot so just been putting it off until I finish the garage and been using the electric snow shovel meanwhile. Greenworks now has a full size snowblower too now, but not ready to drop that kind of coin. About $2,500. Comes with multiple batteries though.

Thanks for your video. It confirms to me snowblower are kind of a waste of time. I could have done this by manual snow plow shovel in minutes.
I live in an upstairs apartment in NY. We don't have a garage or tool shed where we could store snow plows. So that little one looks like something I could store in our closet.
I recently purchased a 24V 11" snow shovel to supplement my 8HP snow blower. In many ways, it is very nice and easier to use than a regular shovel (I'm a retired guy). My only complaint would be that you can't direct the snow, so you have to be creative when shoveling, as it always blows forward (and sometimes right back at you if you are shoveling into the wind).

I have the 40V power shovel and I like it. I live in a townhouse with a single car driveway and help out with elderly neighbours who can't shovel. It gets into tight spaces and does the job. It's even portable because I put it in the back of my small SUV and go do my mom's driveway and sidewalk. Yes it won't do a big long driveway but if you have a smaller space it works well. A handy tip is get a second battery so you can keep on going and help out that neighbour.

Hi I have a dirt driveway I was trying to look for something both cheap and solid. I was wondering if either of these would make sense on a dirt driveway or to just hire someone to just plow the driveway?
Curious if you think the bottom edge of either product will eventually wear out or if the engineers considered including a replaceable buffer strip? My optimistic side hopes they weren't too greedy with mean-time between failure variables.

How about an 80V 2 stage? kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6p7yM-wgq-5Xbw.html
I would expect that if you were taking 12" swipes with the blower instead of full 20" swipes (ex, going across the face of the garage swipe by swipe, instead of plowing straight into the pile of snow), it would work about like the snow shovel, right? I mean, other than spinning a larger blade, at that point you're making it a 12" blower. The advantage would be all the weight is riding on the wheels, and you can still aim the plume instead of always just hurling "in front of me".
I have not had any luck with a sing stage snowblower except to clean fluffy snow on a walk way. I have a 13hp 2 stage snow blower with serrated auger and it works great. Sometimes i have to use it to clear ice left by a battery operated snow blower. So my money is on gas for now.

The comparisons between this 40 volt light duty snowblower to 10hp gas Ariens two stage machines is a little disingenuous. The snow Nate is describing would stall small gas powered blowers, too. I would be interested to see how the 80 volt versions would handle this snow. Perhaps the bigger battery would allow the machine to eat the snow without hitting the current limiter. There are bigger, more powerful battery powered snowblowers on the market that are better equipped to handle this situation. Nice review, Nate!

Interesting to see the difference w/same Voltage tools & battery handle the same snow(load). while the 12" shovel pushed thru, and the 20"blower sometimes overloads, wouldn't the blower handle the same snow(load) if you cut the path in 1/2 (roughly) ? (or I suppose went 1/2 the speed forward). In other words if the shovel was the same 20"width/auger as the bower, wouldn't it stall out in all the same spots.....??? Great tools tho !

The CORDED never shut off on me - just did about 8 inches of heavy wet snow with the 13 amp corded Greenworks - way better.
I mean that’s a 40v prosumer Home Depot special and that snow is working it at full capacity. That much snow and area you’d be way better off with the 82v 24” wide self propelled unit. 3 82v batteries you could finish that whole thing.
Wish you could direct the snow with the snow shovel.

I think the snow "shovel" states on packaging that is for 6 inches of snow max. So if you're trying to remove more than that, go with the gas blower.

I would cut in the middle to make way, then with the snowblower i would plow half or 2/3 of the snowblower clearance in order to put lesser stress on the machine and actually gets the job done faster that way without going back and forth on a higher snow level.
I would think that the company could have put a multi directional thrower somewhere up by the handle rather than having to adjust the thrower bending down and reaching out.
That shovel works better than the big brother 🤣
I have a similar electric blower and it's pretty much only good for dry powdery snow. Get some wet snow and it's useless. I bought a "snow pusher" with wheels last year and actually prefer that over the gas / electric snow blowers we've had.

How long does the battery last and how many did you use to do that all
Even with gas units with a heavy snow you have to push and pull back and push one stages a lot unlike two stages and that's why if you gave a long driveway two stages are popular even though they cost more and harder to transport...I had a 150' driveway and that push pull action with a single stage with heavy wet snow was a deal breaker with gas and corded single stages so I used a two stage with powered wheels and in my case chains which with turf tires are often needed with grades but less so with Ag style tires. Why they put turf style tires on snow throwers I don't know, I guess some get by with them and it's more profitable and the additional money they get from selling you chains later. It's like shearing a sheep then selling that sheep a sweater for winter... Sure if you have a short driveway most of the times single stage is fine but... but...

Support your local commercial dealer and get 48v and 82v products. Don’t waste money on the big box store consumer products, they sell all that lesser technology to company’s like Kobalt and Toro!

Be advised all those of you who live in snow country and who are Lexus owners: your frozen carcass will be found in a snowy mountain pass just like Jack Nicholson in the garden maze at the Overlook hotel in the last scene of _The Shining_
Very interesting. But, one flaw, you don't say how many batteries you actually would need to get a job done. That would be beneficial in a big way.

Well thats because it depends how big of an area you need to do. I dont even use a full battery for clearing around the buildings. I plow the rest.
The worst part is it's all plastic. My snow blower is twice the size and metal. Yeah its gas. But it's going to break or struggle.

You might enjoy the 2 stage metal one kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6p7yM-wgq-5Xbw.html
That battery won't last long on that job. I get similar snow and don't feel battery technology is cut out for tougher jobs like this

It's one thing to feel and another to own and test.
Get the end of the driveway after the snow plow has showed up 🤷🏽♂️
Get a red wagon with 4 propane tanks and a 10 foot hose with a blow torch on the end and melt the snow. Use the snow blower against the house thought.
These still can't do gravel driveways unfortunately

Of course they can. They just sling rocks towards all your windows.
No way, that thing is too weak lol
Buddy you should’ve got a gas snow blower instead of a battery snow blower

I sold my two stage gas blower after getting these since they fulfill my needs! I do have a bigger 80v 2 stage battery blower now though kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6p7yM-wgq-5Xbw.html But most of my driveway I plow kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y5Zmp8xpcarFdqg.html
Not for me. My toro is great.
