The convenience of battery-operated power tools intrigues me. Battery-powered tools provide an often unnoticed amount of convenience. With batteries, you don’t have to deal with the boundaries and frustration of a power cable, and their motors require little to no maintenance. But the knock on battery-powered tools is a lack of power. And snow removal takes a lot of power. After reviewing the Greenworks Pro 80V Leaf Blower this summer (spoiler alert, it’s pretty great) and then receiving the Greenworks Greenworks 40V 20 Inch Cordless Battery Single-Stage Snow Blower for testing this winter, I was certainly excited to see what the battery-powered snow blower could do for my area’s gnarly winter weather.
I tested the Greenworks 40V 20 20-inch cordless Battery Single-Stage Snow Blower at my house after a weekend of close to non-stop snow. I tested to see if it could be the best snow blower to remove snow from my entire property, which is a corner lot. That means about 150 feet of sidewalk and a two-car driveway with a third area for extra parking. I also tested how far the blower could toss the snow and the battery life.
