Best Greenworks Snow Blowers (2026)

This is the current 80V kit, a 20-inch single-stage with a brushless motor and a 4Ah pack plus fast charger. The 80V platform runs higher voltage than the 40V models, so the motor reaches its power with less current draw and less heat in the wiring.

Against the older 80V model with a 2Ah pack it ships with double the battery capacity, which is the difference between clearing a short drive and running out halfway. Against the 40V 20-inch it has the same path width but a bigger pack voltage, which should help hold power under load in thicker snow.

The usual battery-machine habits apply. Charge the pack before the forecast, keep it inside until the first pass and clear a jam with the pack removed. Since the 80V platform shares packs with Greenworks mowers and trimmers, owners with existing 80V tools can look at the cheaper tool-only versions. Plan on a second pack if your drive takes more than one charge, because the single 4Ah pack in the kit is the limiting factor rather than the motor. A spare pack also lets you rotate one on the charger while the other works.

The 60V thrower uses a 2.0 kilowatt brushless motor and a 4Ah pack that comes with a charger. The chute rotates 180 degrees and throws up to 25 feet, which is a shorter throw than some competing brands list but enough for typical walks.

It sits between the 40V and 80V lines, so its main appeal is to people already on the 60V tool platform. If you are not, the 80V kit is a better buy because it gets you a more current platform and a similar path width.

In use it behaves like the other single-stage Greenworks machines: it scrapes down to the pavement, struggles with berms and needs a patient second pass in heavy snow. Check the rubber paddles each season and keep the pack stored indoors. Before choosing it over the 80V kit, check whether you own any 60V mowers or trimmers; the savings from sharing a pack are the only strong argument for this middle platform.

The 40V 20-inch carries a brushless motor, a 10-inch clearing depth and a 5Ah pack in the kit. The throw is about 25 feet, so it covers a standard walk or short drive without much re-clearing.

The 5Ah pack is larger than the 4Ah on the 80V and 60V kits, but 40V packs store less energy per amp-hour than 80V ones, so do not assume the bigger number means more runtime. Compared with the 16-inch 40V models it clears a wider path, which means fewer passes.

Its biggest appeal is platform compatibility. Greenworks makes dozens of 40V tools, so a pack bought for the mower can run this machine. Store the pack indoors and keep the chute clear. If you already own a 40V pack from a mower or trimmer, the cheapest route may be a tool-only version of this machine, but check that the pack is at least 4Ah so the blower is not starved of runtime.

The Gen 2 16-inch is a smaller, lighter 40V single-stage with a 10-inch clearing depth. The listing pairs it with a 5Ah pack and fast charger, so you can run it from the box.

The narrower 16-inch path means more passes per driveway than the 20-inch models, but the machine is easier to carry down basement stairs or store on a shelf. For narrow sidewalks and patios, a narrower footprint is actually an advantage.

Compared with the older SN40B410 below it is a refreshed model with a fast charger kit. The wear item is still the rubber paddle, so inspect it at the start of each season. A practical test before buying: measure your narrowest path and the clearance in your storage spot. If the 16-inch width is already wider than your walk, a 20-inch machine will only feel clumsy.

The SN40B410 uses a digitally controlled brushless motor and a handle that folds for storage. It is a proven earlier design and shares its 16-inch path and 40V pack with the Gen 2 model.

Its folding frame is the practical reason to choose it. In an apartment garage or a shed where every inch counts, a machine that collapses beats one that stands tall. Compared with the Gen 2 it lacks the newer kit, but it is otherwise similar.

Expect typical single-stage limitations. It works well in light to moderate snow, and a 5Ah pack is enough for a short drive. Do not leave the pack in a freezing garage. Folded, it stores upright against a wall without the handle sticking out, which matters more in an apartment garage than any spec on the sheet. The brushless motor keeps noise low enough for early-morning clearing.

This 12-inch brushless snow shovel is the lightest tool in the Greenworks lineup. It is a better fit for steps, decks and short paths than for a full driveway.

Because it is a shovel, you carry the weight rather than wheel it. That keeps the unit light and the price modest, but it also limits how much snow you can move in a session. Its 4Ah pack and charger come in the kit.

Treat it as a companion to a larger machine. If your main need is a short walk and a small porch, it may be all you need.
