Customer Reviews for Greenworks - 80V 12" Brushless Snow Shovel, with Directional Vanes and LED Light - 2.5Ah Battery and Fast Charger

Bulky without wheels and snow throw deflector. This thing is heavy and almost impossible to use for over a few minutes die to bulkiness and the design that put the battery at the top of the shaft.
Pros: Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Yogi A.
Thank you for your honest feedback on the 80V Snow Shovel. It is designed to provide cordless convenience for clearing snow, but we understand how weight and ergonomics can affect comfort during use.
This model weighs approximately 19.6 lb. with the battery installed which is heavier than many traditional manual snow shovels. That weight, combined with the battery placement near the top of the shaft, can make it hard to hold and maneuver for extended periods.
If the weight or lack of wheels is a concern, here are some similar tools that might better suit different user needs:
Greenworks 80V 22" Cordless Single-Stage Snow Blower. A larger 80V snow blower with wheels and greater throwing power, ideal if you frequently clear driveways or heavier snow.
Greenworks 80V 24" Dual Stage Cordless Snow Thrower Kit. A heavy-duty option with excellent performance and maneuverability for larger areas.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our product designs and guidance for users. For users who continue with this model, using a shoulder strap or harness can sometimes help redistribute weight and reduce fatigue.
We hope you will find this information useful. If you require any additional support or have questions regarding a product, we recommend trying our Q&A section on products' page or Chat with us direct on our website www.greenworkstools.com

Good For The Price

I've been using this machine for about 3 months. It's more like a 5" snow maximum. Throws the snow well. Not sure about the durability of the machine but so far so good. It's really designed for a subdivision home with short driveways and sidewalks. I think it might last me a few years then I'll buy the single stage Greenworks thats an upgrade from this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own one of these and have been so impressed with its ease of use, battery life, portability and power to remove fairly deep snow that I bought a second one in anticipation of handing down the one I have to my son. Highly recommend this machine.

Better than shoveling
on February 1, 2026
Posted by: Jerry1948
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this snow thrower in 12/3/25 and got to use in on 2/1/26. it does a great job of throwing the snow, unfortunately it throws most of the snow in front of you and not off to the side. it helped that the wind was blowing when i used it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took only 20 minutes to put everything together real simple then you need the instructions to put it together. Charge the battery took it outside and it chewed up the snow like no other very quiet lights are bright moves the snow very well. I’m glad I bought this product. I also have the combo lawnmower, weed, whip, and blower and also a great product to know the thing that only took a half hour to put together works very well. I like to green work products and I will keep buying green work. Products is my next thing is the power washer
I would recommend this to a friend!

Safety concern: While the Greenworks snow shovel has good power, the trigger design is a serious safety issue. If your finger slips off the trigger or the shovel slips out of your hands, the motor continues to run instead of stopping immediately. This creates a dangerous situation, especially in slippery winter conditions. A dead-man safety switch or automatic shutoff should be standard on a tool like this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had my 1st real test on 9" snow yesterday. I was super happy how it took to the snow and cleared my 50' driveway. The battery didn't last as long as I thought, but on the flipside, it was going well beyond on the 6" snow level on the tech. page.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful

on January 25, 2026

My battery life lasts 10 minutes then recharge takes 30 minutes. It works well for 10 minutes. Very disappointing greenworks supplies a battery this substandard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
