This thing is so powerful for its size and price. Dint be fooled by its small electric battery those machines pack a punch.its the only commercially available battery powered shovel /snow thrower with a 80v battery try this thing you wont regret and if you dont like it just return it no big deal ok but i promise you wont . Well if anythingight drive you away from keeping it maybe its shiny green color it attrackts the naighbors to your side walk to watch your greatness. Keep em gealius baby keep em jealous and keep going with this silent powerful device. Use at you own risk this might devlop you a snow removal fetish sooooo im warning you cuz that happened to my friend Bobba now he can't control his love for snow and we shipped him to a ski resorts with 99 batterys so he can keep busy with all the snow he can tackle im just worried what will happen if global warming comes and theres no snow no more. Bobby will be in big trouble and he will need therapy. Lets keep using electrical tools so global warming can stay away and my friend Bobby keeps living happily.

Used my electric cordless shovel for the first time and am pleased with my purchase. Very easy to charge and use. It only sprays snow forward, but it shoots it pretty far. It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be, but was easier and quicker than traditional shoveling.

Hello. I purchased to get the snow off the deck. Our first snow was the day prior Nd left 14” it took me some time but this power shovel really did the job. Recharged the battery three times but got it done. Inalso used it for a 1” dusting on the driveway. Made it easy. I will say it is a heavy tool but necessary to keep it on the groud while using. I would buy this item again or as a gift.

It is a powerful tool that pushes snow straight forward. However, it is heavy equipment. Therefore, need a shoulder strap to alleviate the heaviness. Also, the battery will last for some time, but it has a supercharger that charge fast.
I use this tool for my front garage and back deck.

This thing is very powerful for a 12 inch shovel… The 80 volt batteries are very powerful… To give you an idea, I was able to do 2.5 driveways in about 1.5 hours… The driveways being about 40 foot long & three lanes wide. The snow was about 4 inches deep. It will easily throw light snow about 20 feet into the air… I would say this is a very nice alternative to having a huge $1500 snowblower that sits in your garage for eight months and doesn’t get used. You definitely cannot go wrong at the $239 sale price. That being said, do not pay retail… Wait ‘till it goes on sale. Definitely a keeper!

Bought this on sale for 269.00. Just used this on the snowfall we had yesterday. I would have never been able to lift a shovel with this heavy snow. Best investment ever. Get it, you won't regret it.

It looks kind of cheap since it's mostly plastic, but don't let that sway you. It works well. It really throws the snow - wet or fairly deep or thick! As a female, I thought it was a little heavy to lift to do the steps but I did it. To just plain shovel, it was easy!

The Greenworks power shovel is amazing. It really shines while doing sidewalks,decks and around smaller sensitive areas. I reside in Upstate New York where snow is abondant. I've recommended this product to family and friends, who have purchased one themselves after trying mine. The power shovel saves massive amounts of time and energy removing large amounts of snow. Only down side is that the Greenworks power shovel is slightly heavy for older or smaller individuals. Other than that its absolutley a must have in the snow removal arsenal. Also the the 80v 2AH battery is great. It holds a good charge with full power throughout its use (no diminishing power). The whole product took 5 minutes to assemble (easy). The rapid charger is also a great addition, for when you need just a little more time to get your job done. Awesome product, cant recommend enough

Great product for clearing our deck and walkway. When a snowblower is too much and a shovel isn't enough this does a great job. Easy to use. Lots of power. A bit heavy but not unexpected considering what it does.

Pretty good. Still a little of a workout as the machine has some heft but still way better than shoveling. For reference this wouldn't be a solution for grandpa or small kid. But ave Joe should be able to handle the weight of it. Works great. gets closer to surface than I was expecting. Basically a mini snow blower with no control on direction. Just goes forward but you can figure it out

I'm 66 years old, and I've had no problems operating or maneuvering this snow shovel. I probably am stronger than most 66 year-old females though. I haven't used it on 5 or more inches of snow, but it has easily powered through 3 or 4 inches of snow and the buildup at the end of my driveway from the snow plow. It helps that my neighbors have a flag, and that I can check wind direction. If the wind isn't blowing I have to go back and forth across my driveway to keep the snow blowing out in front of me.

I have two patios that are difficult to clear….got a great deal at Best Buy…with a second battery (definitely needed). One patio has a 18 inch wall around it and the other is 30 feet long with a wall along one side. Just had 7-8 inches of wet snow. The small thrower handled the snow well. Most went over the wall…just had to shovel small amount that hit wall and fell back. Did the long patio in two sections…first the area furthest from house. Thought I would probably need to shovel the rest pushing it all the way down the cleared section….but the thrower was able to shoot it all the way down the patio as I walked behind it. I was impressed. Just a couple negatives. It is only 12 inches wide so takes a lot of passes. But that’s ok. As others have commented it is rather heavy. With a bad back I felt it….but still better than shoveling and having to pick up the snow and carry it/ throw it by hand. And finally, with 8 inches of snow, the battery certainly didn’t last long enough to finish. But with two batteries, that charge quickly, it worked quite well. Time will tell how it holds up after multiple uses….

It does have some limitations ( doesn't everything ? ) But overall once you get the hang of it it's pretty cool. For starters , yes it's a little heavy and is hard to use if your just relying on your arms.
I quickly figured out , lean it against your body and let your body weight push it as you walk. Your arms will thank you.
It will go thru heavy slush just at a slow pace. Jam it into the muck like you're trying to kill it and it will stall/stop
If it begins to stop at other times, the battery needs to be charged
I'd love it if it had tiny wheels but let's face it that'd be something else to break and you're probably pushing it over slippery surface anyways.
Batteries are a little expensive when not on sale, but hey there's worse ways to spend money. The unit comes with a 2ah battery and as of the writing of my review BB has the 4ah battery on sale.
I'm impressed enough that I've already bought another of these for son and daughter in law

Works really well, but the battery life is too short. The shovel is easy to use, lightweight and quickly removes snow, but the battery only lasts 20 minutes, then needs to charge for 30-40 minutes. Depending on how much area you have to shovel, this may not be the right solution.

Convenient because it's battery operated It is a little cumbersome to manage in terms of heaviness. Probably would be better if it had wheels. Throws the snow very far. Not sure if there is a way to control that better. It does clear the snow down to the pavement.

Weighs about 20 lbs with battery. No directional louvers, throws straight ahead. Have to tip machine upside-down to remove battery. Battery lasts a long time. Throws snow well and for a good distance. Comes with a fast charger. Takes about 1/2 hr to completely charge a low battery. Very sturdily made. If keeping it inside between uses I suggest resting it in an empty cat liter box.

Hello 1trex9. Always enjoy hearing from our customers. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you had some pros and cons to share with us. To direct the angle at which an electric snow shovel throws snow, slightly tilt the shovel itself in the desired direction while operating it; by angling the shovel slightly left or right, you can control where the snow is ejected. A small tilt is usually enough to redirect the snow slightly to the side you want. We hope this tip helps and provides a better user experience. If you ever have specific questions or concerns about our products, contact Greenworks via Live chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com), call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or refer to the FAQ ask section of the tool or ask us a question, anytime.
