Best 22 Inch Snow Blowers (2026)

The Greenworks 82V is the most capable machine here because it pairs a 12.5 inch clearing depth with a high-voltage battery platform that does not need an outlet. A 5.0Ah pack and a dual-port charger give you a reasonable reserve for a two-car driveway of light to moderate snow.

Greenworks emphasizes fewer moving parts than a gas machine, which means no oil, no carburetor and no pull cord. A 30 foot discharge and a 180 degree chute give you control over where snow lands. Two battery ports with manual switchover let you run a second pack without stopping.

Compared with the Yard Force 60V, which clears a 10 inch depth, the Greenworks takes deeper snow in a single pass. Store the battery indoors in deep cold and clear packed snow from the chute after each use.

Westinghouse's cordless WSnow22 runs a 1600 watt brushless motor from two 24V 8Ah batteries wired as a 48V system. The listing rates throughput at 840 pounds of snow per minute, the same figure as the corded WSnow22, which makes the cordless version a drop-in for people who do not want a cord.

The rubber-tipped steel auger scrapes pavement without gouging it, and two batteries with a dual-port 4A fast charger fill in about two hours. The 25 foot throw is shorter than the Greenworks' 30 feet. It includes LED lights.

Compared with the corded Westinghouse, it gives up unlimited runtime for freedom of movement. Keep the batteries indoors in cold, and keep the chute clear.

Yard Force adds a self-propel assist to a 60V brushless snow blower, with 6 inch wheels and an auger-assisting mechanism. That helps on icy pavement, where a light single-stage machine can skid, and it reduces the pushing effort.

The 22 inch by 10 inch path is a shade smaller than the Greenworks' 12.5 inch depth, and the 4.0Ah pack provides up to 30 minutes of claimed runtime, which includes a boost mode. That is enough for a short driveway and walks, but a larger driveway needs a second battery.

The 30 foot throw matches the Greenworks. Check that spare batteries are available and keep the chute clear.

The corded WSnow22 uses a 120 volt, 15 amp motor that moves up to 840 pounds of snow per minute through a 22 inch by 13 inch path, the deepest intake in this roundup. Corded power does not fade in cold and never runs out.

A rubber-tipped steel auger scrapes pavement safely, and 7 inch snow-grabbing wheels, a soft grip handle and dual LED headlights make it comfortable to use. The 180 degree chute directs snow up to 25 feet.

The tradeoff is the cord, which needs a heavy 14 gauge or thicker extension and limits reach to driveways near an outlet. It is simple, durable and has no battery to age.

The SJ627E has the same 22 by 13 inch path and 840 pounds-per-minute rating as the corded Westinghouse, but uses a plastic auger with four rubber-tipped blades. That auger is gentler on surfaces and lighter, but it is less robust against ice and hard-packed snow than a steel auger.

A 15 amp motor delivers consistent power while plugged in, and the chute rotates 180 degrees for up to 25 feet of discharge. Dual LEDs add visibility.

It is best for light to moderate snow on flat, paved surfaces, which is how the maker positions it. A heavy extension cord is essential, and the cord must be kept clear of the auger.
