[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light weight but it can throw the snow. A lot easier to use than the gas powered one I used to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliant Too

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 78 years old with a bad heart, four artificial joints, and arthritis everywhere. While I have a 13 hp 32 inch wide snowblower, I live along the coast in Connecticut and with the warming weather cycle we get a lot of slush instead of snow these days. Two stage snow throwers don’t work well with slush as the Discharge chute clogs. In addition, it’s getting to be a lot of work wrestling that big heavy snowblower. I’m smart enough to know I shouldn’t be manuallyshoveling heavy wet snow, but I still like to take care of my own tasks. So, I decided to try a Greenworks 80 V battery operated shovel with directional vanes. On our last storm, the plow left 3 to 4 inches of slush on the sidewalk which my electric shovel handled brilliantly. As there is no discharge chute to clog, it never clogged or iced up with the slush.I have to say, it would not work nearly as well without the directional vanes when doing sidewalks, as these vanes permit throwing the slush to the side, so that one is not constantly dealing with Same slush that a non-directional shovel would throw in front of the shovel. Also, I am 62 inches tall and with the adjustable hand on the tool, I was able to Operated while upright with no strain on my back. I have 120 foot long sidewalk, a 20 foot walkway to the front porch, and a 25 foot long 15 foot wide driveway. One four amp power 80 V battery cleared it all and still had some power left. This is another great tool from Greene works!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Very good. Could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. However the power on button is located on an awkward place and uncomfortable to keep pushed while shoveling. It should be on the upper handle where you can keep it pressed without having to hold the shovel in a weird position.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Jb16.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback as we are always looking for areas to improve!
To handle a Greenworks snow shovel, firmly grip the handles with both hands, ensure the lockout button is pressed, then engage the trigger to start the impeller, and push the shovel forward, guiding it along the snow surface while keeping your hands and body away from moving parts; remember to release the trigger when you want to stop the impeller. Adjusting the handle can provide a better balance, this will help evenly distribute the weight between the battery and the base.
We have a video that helps explaining how to use your snow shovel. You can check it out here:

Huge disappointm and waste of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this snow blower now for 2 winters and have been so disappointed. It barely works with any kind of snow. If its fluffy snow if doesn't do much, if its wet it gets clogged, if the snow height is higher then half the blades its useless. Only way to use it is in a back and forth movement and then going back over the same spot over an over again. And then it might start working and a part will fall off...
Also, the outer box part that runs against the ground gets caught on the slightest ground change which sucks cause you want to keep up momentum which is already hard and then the thing just gets caught on the driveway.
I wish I could trade it in.
I own many Greenworks products and this is the biggest regret I have buying this one. Maybe a larger one would be better but is it worth the gamble I don't think so. Perhaps look at a larger model... idk.
Just know if you live in the Northeast US that gets lots of different snow, this will let you down.

Hello drocksasaurus.
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. It is regrettable to read that you are not overly satisfied with this product. Greenworks Pro 80V platform is ideal for medium - heavy duty work. The distances at which snow is thrown is dependent on the type of snow or the chute deflector angle. Try adjusting the chute deflector angle, position the deflector to optimize throwing distance. We have a video that helps explaining how to adjust the throw distance. You can check it out here: (https://youtu.be/-DWHlyw6g0c). If dealing with wet / heavy snow, feed smaller amounts into the auger. Uneven surfaces might also impact the throwing distance, so be mindful of your path. We hope the above information has been helpful. We do not have a trade-in program. We appreciate this suggestion and will pass it along. If you need further assistance, please start a Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We are here to help.

A little heavy but works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a month ago and used for the first time. Using it for clearing out end of driveway after plow goes by. My street is tar and rock so I don't take my snowblowers into street because of loose rock sometimes. It cleared the snow very well. Only con is its front heavy. To pick up and move around will wear you out. But overall very happy!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Powerful

Great addition in my goal to make chores easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got to use for first time with 2.5Ah battery. Snow was slushy and 3 inches deep. This shovel worked like a charm. Threw snow where I needed it. Still had half battery life after about 20 minutes of snow clearing. Wished at first that it had cruise power button, but ability to turn off when going to next clearing path is convenient. Didn’t miss cruise too much. All in all super happy with how well this shovel did the job. The weight actually helps it clear better. As with any blower plan out where snow will be blown.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Snow shovel

Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Snow shovel is good but you have to bend over good to get the right angle. It would be way better if it had small wheels on each side to push it thru uneven surfaces. That would help your back GREATLY
Pros: Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
