✅ Too Much To Handle? Battery Powered Snow Shovel vs Snow Blower - Greenworks 40v GMax - 10in Snow

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 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.

Thank you. I had no idea that electric snow blowers had progressed so much. Even more surprising is that the electric shovel is so capable.

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!

I'm actually totally impressed with the power shovel! I had absolutely no idea that a battery powered "power shovel" could do that.

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.

Great video, Nate! 🎥 Didn't expect the 12-inch power shovel to outshine the snow blower on wet snow! Each has its own strengths. Thanks for the insights! ❄💪

I just ordered the 48V (2x24V) snow shovel, and judging from watching your video, the snow shovel seems like a better option for me. It'll fit nicely inside the porch for when we need to clear the snow from the path.

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.

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 !

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.

Thanks for the great video! I'm going to stick with my gas Honda HS621, it's 30 yrs old, starts with the first pull, dependable, reliable!

The shovel tool looks awesome for side to side clearing, not so much for sidewalks.

[HughDancy-le]

Wow this was a really well filmed review video, thanks so much Tater!

[ghiagoo]

Thanks for trying out the shovel and the water stick or snow. It’s exactly what I needed to know. The other reviews of the shovel just showed powdery snow.

i bought the shovel.I have small driveway so its perfect.You made my decision easy.Thanks for the help

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.

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 live in alaska and I have one and loving it too way better than gas powered one can move any direction

What's funny is the power shovel says it's only rated for 6 inches. It looks like he's using it on more than that and it's doing great
