Best 20 Inch Snow Blowers (2026)

WORX runs a brushless motor from two 20V 6.0 Ah PowerShare Pro packs in series for 40V, clearing a 20 by 10 inch path and throwing up to 35 feet. Throw distance matters more than most buyers think: a longer throw lets you clear a wide driveway by casting snow off the edge instead of piling it on the next pass. WORX claims a 15 car driveway per charge in 6 inch snow.

Against the STEELITE 40V and ETOOLAB at 25 feet, the WORX throws 10 feet farther, and its 12 Ah of total battery is the most in the cordless group apart from the Greenworks 80V's higher voltage pack. The PowerShare platform also runs WORX mowers and trimmers.

Keep batteries indoors until you go out, since cold lithium cells deliver less power. After use, knock snow out of the chute and auger so it does not freeze solid.

Greenworks uses its 80V platform with a brushless motor, clearing a 20 inch wide, 10 inch deep path. An 80V 4.0 Ah pack stores about the same energy as the WORX's two 20V 6.0 Ah packs, but the higher voltage lets the motor pull less current for the same power, which helps it hold auger speed in dense snow.

The kit has one battery, so you cannot swap a second pack mid job unless you own one. If you already use Greenworks 80V mowers or blowers, this is the natural pick. Against the WORX, throw distance is not stated, so we rank it second.

The fast charger means a quick top up between storms. Clear the chute after use and store the pack indoors.

STEELITE's cordless model runs a brushless motor from two 20V 4.0 Ah packs and claims 850 pounds per minute, with a 12 inch intake depth and a 25 foot throw. At 26 pounds it is easy to lift onto steps or a deck. A deeper 12 inch intake helps in heavier dumps where 10 inch machines need extra passes.

Compared with the WORX, you trade 10 feet of throw and 4 Ah of battery for a lower price and a deeper intake. It is a strong value for paved driveways and walks.

Run it at the start of a storm rather than waiting for full depth, which keeps load and runtime in check. Keep batteries warm before use.

The WSnow20 is a corded machine with a 15 amp, 1800 watt motor and a rubber tipped steel auger, clearing 680 pounds per minute through a 20 by 10 inch path. A steel auger with rubber edges is tougher than an all plastic paddle when it hits ice chunks, while the rubber still protects pavement. Westinghouse also sells a WSnow20D version with a plastic auger, which is the cheaper but less durable variant.

Corded power never runs out and does not weaken in cold the way batteries do. Against the STEELITE corded at 860 lb per minute, the Westinghouse claims less but has a better known brand behind it. The cord limits range on long drives.

Use a cold rated outdoor extension cord of adequate gauge, plugged into a GFCI outlet. Clear the chute after use.

This STEELITE pairs a corded 15 amp brushless motor with a 20 by 10 inch intake, claiming 860 pounds per minute and a 30 foot throw. Brushless motors on corded tools are uncommon; they hold speed better under load and have no brushes to wear. It is clearly labeled as corded, not battery.

Its claims beat the Westinghouse's 680 lb per minute and match the STEELITE cordless capacity with no runtime limit. The brand is newer, so long term support is less proven than Westinghouse.

As with any corded blower, use a heavy gauge outdoor cord and keep it behind you. Clear wet snow from the chute before storing.

ETOOLAB's 40V machine uses a 2500 RPM brushless motor, a 12 inch deep intake and a 180 degree chute, throwing up to 25 feet away and 20 feet high. The high arc helps clear over snowbanks along a driveway.

It matches the STEELITE cordless on depth and throw. Battery details are less clear, so we rank it below the STEELITE, which includes two 4.0 Ah packs. It is a reasonable choice for patios, decks and short drives.

Store it with the chute clear and the battery indoors. Check auger paddles each season for wear.
