Earthwise SN74016 40-Volt Cordless Electric Snow Shovel, Brushless Motor, 16-Inch width, 300lbs/Minute (Battery and Charger Included)

Ordered this and didn't use till today when we got wet ice snow 2 in. Very heavy. And after plowed pushed snow end of driveway there was a big pile. I was absolutely amazed just how well this beauty worked. It ate threw that heavy wet snow throwing it very far. Now if I used my snow blower it would go up the shoot and barely spit it out. I felt guilty spending this much not knowing if it worked well and it did not disappoint. I have a 4 car driveway and 24x24 deck and it worked amazingly and it was fast and easy. The battery lasted with battery to spare.I read that some people found it hard to press in small button and hold down handle with gloves. Not true. The small button goes in easiely and holding down the handle part was perfect. My hand did not get fatigued using the handle at all while pressing down button. And I am not young.I have arthritis in hands and fingers and using it for over an hour hand not one little pain in hands. The wheels are there was perfect. Of course with wet ice heavy snow I had to push alittle harder but not much. It chewed up that snow and threw it out fast. Turning was no problem and the handle thst adjusts the direction of snow works fine. I've read it breaks but zi can see if you are hard on it and you don't gave to be it's great. Slow and pull up the knob and gently turn knob. If you yank it and twist it wontvwork and maybe break.pull out and then alittle further and turn to direction you want. That part never clogged. I take this over my snow blower anyday...unless there's more snow lol.Hope I still feel this way after alot of use

First the Likes. 1. This thing does a great job of moving snow. Just finished clearing 6 inches of fairly wet snow off a 25x60 driveway and it did a great job. 2. I also had plenty of battery life with one light still shining and no loss of power. 3. I would not buy one of these without the wheels. The ability to push the handle down and raise the unit up over an obstacle, or pull it back without dragging it around is priceless.Much easier then bringing out my gas powered two stage blower that weighs 100 lbs.Now for the negatives. 1. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars. When it arrived one electrical connection was disconnected from the quick coupler where the handle connects to the power head. Not a big deal for a farmer, but might be for someone less handy. Possibly a quality control issue. 2. The unit won't stand up with the battery installed. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. 3. I was covered in snow because the wind was blowing back in my face. Not really a fault of the snow thrower but also something to be aware of. If you could deflect the snow down a little bit so it didn't go flying up in the air so far maybe that would help. Using the deflector to steer the snow off to the side was helpful. 4. And this applies to all brands, I hate the safety lock. To be fair, I hate all safety locks. Trying to make a button lock work while wearing heavy gloves or mittens is a pain. I gurantee I will either dismantel the handle and take it out or make someting that will slip over the handle and press the button in so I don't have to.Overall much easier then shoveling and I think worth the money, depending on how long it lasts of course, but only time will tell.I paid 270.00, I now see it's on sale for 216.00. At that price I would give it 5 stars.

Fortunately I got to use these electric snow shoveler several times not many times but enough to say "it's a great shoveler well worth the purchase"!!! Why is it that when you buy one of these machines for an expected year of lots of snow..."there's never that much snow" No worries, it works like a charm👍 It's powerful, great battery life, awesome snow blowing capacity and not as loud as other snow shovelers. It's easy to use and doesn't weigh so much that you have to be a body builder😆haha Great purchase no regrets!

I'm so happy to have found this! I own a snow blower but it's so bulky and not environmental friendly, this is a great replacement. No gas required and I have 2 spare batteries that I can use from my hedge trimmer and saw. It's light weight and easy to use. While we haven't encountered heavy snow this past winter it did great with light snow up to 4 inches.
