Shoveling snow is one of the least favorite chores for many homeowners. It’s cold, wet, tiring, and can be risky if you slip. Cordless snow blowers offer a safer, easier alternative. Below is a guide to some of the best cordless snow blowers from Greenworks to suit various property sizes and needs.
Why Choose a Cordless Snow Blower
Gas-powered single- and two-stage snow blowers deliver a lot of power, but they also require gas, oil, and maintenance. They produce fumes and can be difficult to start. For many homeowners, the hassle outweighs the benefits.
Corded electric snow blowers avoid fuel issues, but the cord limits mobility and can be inconvenient. Cordless models strike a balance: they provide freedom of movement without the noise, fumes, and maintenance of gas machines, making snow removal faster and more pleasant.
Best for Sidewalks and Small Walkways
Choosing the right snow blower for the job improves efficiency and satisfaction. A large 22-inch blower is unnecessary for a narrow path, while a small electric sweeper will struggle with a long driveway.
For short sidewalks and narrow paths, consider the Greenworks Pro 60V Brushless 12″ Snow Shovel. This lightweight, compact tool clears a 12-inch path and handles up to about 6 inches of snow with minimal effort. It effectively automates the motion of shoveling while remaining easy to store.
These compact models are ideal for small patios, city properties with limited storage, and areas that see modest snowfall. Clearing fresh snow promptly also helps prevent dangerous ice buildup.
Best for Small to Medium Yards and Driveways
The Greenworks 60V Pro Brushless 20″ Snow Blower is a versatile choice for many suburban homeowners. It balances power and portability, clearing walkways and driveways efficiently so you can finish snow removal in minutes rather than hours.
This 60V model typically offers up to about 60 minutes of runtime depending on conditions. If you need extra coverage or faster clearing, the 22-inch 60V model provides a slightly wider path, an adjustable auger to control how far snow is thrown, and a 180-degree directional chute for precise placement.
The 22-inch variant includes a dual-battery port with automatic switchover between batteries, extending runtime without having to stop and swap batteries manually. That convenience significantly reduces downtime and speeds up larger jobs.
Another advantage of Greenworks’ 60V platform is battery compatibility: the same batteries power more than 40 tools in the lineup, from mowers and blowers to trimmers. Investing in a 60V system lets you use one battery platform year-round across multiple tools.
Best for Large Yards and Long Driveways
For expansive properties or long driveways, choose the most powerful cordless snow blower you can reasonably afford. A stronger machine reduces time spent clearing snow and gets you back inside sooner.
The Greenworks Pro 80V Brushless Snow Blower is among the more powerful cordless options available. This single-stage blower can throw snow up to about 20 feet, features large wheels for improved mobility, and includes dual LED lights to help with low-light conditions.
While higher-capacity models cost more upfront, they can cut clearing time substantially and reduce physical strain. No matter which model you select, using a cordless snow blower is a safer, more comfortable alternative to manual shoveling.
