Best Electric Snow Shovels

The Earthwise SN74016 is fairly incredible.

First of all, the specifications of this cordless snow shovel allow clearing fairly big areas in one go, thanks to the 16-inch clearing width of the auger’s head. The clearing depth of 8-inches, on the other hand, makes it easier to chew into big snow piles without the device getting stuck in the process.

The handle features two grips alongside the trigger mechanism in the back of the device located just behind the battery. The battery-powered construction also frees you from carrying the annoying power cord that more often than not gets in the way of the shovel.

The only thing that did bother us is the charging time of the battery. Once the unit runs out of charge, it will require one hour to be completely charged. That said, considering the total snow displacement rate of this model, it is not a crucial issue at the end of the day.

To add more, once the device is charged, it can operate for up to 30 minutes straight before you will have to recharge it again. Thanks to the addition of the brushless motor, the appliance’s service life is significantly longer compared to standard snow brooms. Moreover, the instant start function allows starting the unit even in the coldest conditions.

Wrapping things up, the Earthwise SN74016 is one of the best electric snow shovel models in the medium price range. If you are looking for a model that is not too heavy but still packs a punch strong enough to clear large amounts of snow in a matter of minutes, this model will be the right pick.

The Snow Joe 24V-SS10 is a cordless model that can operate in almost absolute silence.

The rechargeable battery pack that comes with the kit includes an iON+ 24-volt battery with an amperage output of 4.0 Ah, which is powerful enough for plowing the snow and throwing it up to 20 feet away.

On the performance side, the electric brushless motor allows removing up to 200 pounds of snow per minute thanks to the thrower's 10-inch clearing width and 6-inch clearing depth.

As for the convenience features, this motorized snow thrower shovel has a special safety switch on the side of the top handle that acts similarly to any standard safety trigger. Thanks to this subtle aspect, the shovel won’t go off when you least expect it. Moreover, the unit has two handles, one of which is adjustable, which enables turning the shovel faster and without too much of an effort.

The plastic blades are a bit elevated from the base of the head, making it ideal for clearing snow from patios, steps, and sidewalks with relative ease. The head itself is designed for heavy-duty use and is capable of dealing with both dry and wet snow.

All in all, this lightweight model from Snow Joe will be a great option for users that look for an electric snow shovel that is both effective and easy to use.

Although the GreenWorks 26022 does not seem powerful at the first glance, its 10 A motor will be able to surprise you. The 16” wide blades of this device are capable of processing up to 600 pounds of snow per minute, which is simply remarkable considering the dimensions of the device. The snow-throwing distance reaches 25 feet, which is also quite impressive. With such a capacity, you will be able to clean your porch, driveway, back or front yard from the snow in no time at all. Additionally, the snow-throwing direction lever can be used to adjust the angle of the snow output, so you won’t need to clean your yard two times in a row.

Despite the fact that this model is one of the heaviest 16-inch models on the market, it is sturdy and well-balanced, which ensures comfortable operation and prolonged service life of the device. Dissimilar to operating a bulky gas blower, you will be able to clean your sidewalk from the snow without feeling extremely tired despite the weight of 25 pounds.

The Toro 38361 is a corded snow blower device that will be suitable for quick snow removal from your patio, driveway, or a sidewalk without scraping them or damaging the surface. This is achieved owing to the plastic auger, making the whole snow-removal process less of a chore.

The handle is not especially ergonomic and might take some time to get used to though.

Since this kit comes without an extension cord, we recommend purchasing one separately because this model is definitely worth it. But what is so special about this particular shovel model? Let’s take a closer look at its specifications and find out.

With its snow displacement rate of 300 pounds per minute, the shovel can be used for removing wet and dry snow almost effortlessly. Additionally, the cutting width of 12-inches makes it easier to pick up large chunks of snow in one go. Likewise, the electric motor is capable of throwing the snow up to 20 feet away without breaking a sweat, which makes the whole cleaning process a lot less messy in the long run.

All things considered, this model from Toro is, perhaps, the best electric snow shovel in the budget price range that we have seen. Fairly light and easy to operate, it will definitely be an upgrade from shoveling the snow manually.

Do you ever get tired of cleaning the snow off your sidewalk with a regular shovel? Usually, this process looks more like an intense workout session in the gym than a seemingly simple process of cleaning the yard. That said, in the age of large and mostly inconvenient gas snow blowers, a device that is both compact and powerful can be hard to find. Fortunately, the 12-inch snow shovel from GreenWorks is one of those devices. Unlike most 12-inch models, this one features an 8 A motor and, in this case, it is not a drawback at all. This little motor is capable of throwing away 300 pounds of dry or wet snow per minute, a number that not a whole lot of 12 A models are able to match.

With 12” wide blades, you will be able to cut the snow that is over 6 inches deep with an effortless smile on your face. Unfortunately, there are no means to adjust the snow-throwing direction, which may seem like a drawback for some users.

As for convenience features, this model is extremely lightweight and has an ergonomic design that reduces any fatigue and back pain that you usually face when working with a regular snow shovel. On top of that, the automatic instant start option allows you to get the device working exactly when you need it. 

Finally, if you need a sturdy yet lightweight snow removal device that can operate quieter than a vacuum cleaner, you might want to strongly consider this model from GreenWorks.
