I’ve been on the hunt for an electric corded snow shovel for a while now especially for these harsh winter days in Canada. So when II’ve been on the hunt for an electric corded snow shovel for a while now especially for these harsh winter days in Canada. So when I saw this eight amp 12 inches electric corded snow shovel from Greenworks went on sale. I immediately grabbed it.

As someone who regularly clear snow myself, the Greenworks electric shovel has been a game changer during these last few winter storms here in Ontario. I find it much easier to manage than a traditional shovel, especially on cold icy days when lifting heavy snow can be exhausting for me.

I truly appreciate how manageable it feels in my hand. To shovel clears a 12 inch patch and throw snow far enough that’s not constantly re-clearing the same area. The electric power does most of the work, which reduces strain on my arms and back and the corded design means I don’t have to worry about batteries running out in the middle of my session.

I am of a small frame woman, who usually use a shovel by hand, but boy this thing is exactly what I needed in my outdoor winter toolbox. This electric shovel has honestly cut the time I spend outside shovelling by hand . I am actually motivated now to clean snow on my driveway believe it or not because of this electric shovel.

For walkways, steps, and smaller driveway, sections, this green works electric shovel feels practical, effortless and effective. From my experience, it’s a reliable option for anyone who wants an easier way to handle snow without the physical demand of manual shoveling, and it is something I feel comfortable using on my own. This is a must have winter tool power tool to have.

This shovel worked amazing. You can see how high the snow originally was and it cleaned it all off in probably 20 minutes! Snow was dense and packed, but it handled our Canadian winter like butter! It was incredibly easy to use, and I’m surprised how well it really did. It was heavy, but I’m really not strong at all and I was definitely able to use it. Awesome purchase and it will totally make life easier. 5/5 easy, hopefully it lasts at least a few years, since this is my first time using it.

This 8 amp snow blower works very well for us on our upped deck, it takes the snow right off the floor and blows it in between the rails well into our backyard.

J’ai acheté ce produit pour éviter d’utiliser ma pelle à neige et mieux profiter de mes sorties hivernales. J’ai été agréablement surpris par l’efficacité de souffler la neige. Sincèrement je recommande fortement. La question: est-ce que mes voisins vont en acheter une lollll

I don't really have any complaints or any form of buyer's regret. The only issue that I might raise which is one of my own doing of course and should be considered more of a suggestion to others, is not to opt for corded as opposed to cordless for the sake of cost savings like I did.

I purchased this electric snow shovel along with a 50 foot outdoor extension cord rated for cold weather. With the thicker insulation, the cord is not only heavier but a fair bit more rigid. Having to constantly manage the cord, along with the weight of the shovel, it can be a bit of a hassle at times, particularly in tighter spaces.

One other thing to keep in mind which seems true for all brands of electrical snow shovels, at least that I'm aware of, is that you must always stand with your back to the wind when using these.

This may be a flaw of the overall design of all electric snow shovels, but the fin that directs the snow away from you is permanently positioned unlike traditional snow blowers that generally allow you to adjust their discharge chute position to accommodate for the wind direction and where you want the snow to end up in relation to the machine.

So with that in mind, if you have no choice but to go against the wind, everything the electric snow shovel picks up will be blown right back at you and all over what you've previously cleared. This isn't such a big deal if are strategic about it. Where this may be a bit hassle is when the space that you are clearing is limited, such as a walkway and you aren't able to adjust your direction easily.

Overall, I am happy with this purchase. It does the job well enough.

Using it for my 20' x 10' deck. Does the job quite easily. Will see how it holds up going into my second season with this.
UPDATE 24/02/2025: Been using it for a second season and its holding up fine. I'm cautious not to damage the spinning blade hitting anything including ice.

From Winnipeg, MB, CA. We are known for our cold, snowy, and long winters. I didn't want to spend another winter breaking my back or living under an avalanche of snow. I bought this hoping it would, if nothing else, cut the time spent shoveling down. It was AMAZING. Down to pavement in about 5-7 minutes after this first season dump we got overnight. It even blasted through the packed snow from walking on the sidewalk, no shovel or chipper needed! Definitely worth it!

Buy this snow shovel before the Jan 17, 2022 snow storm for 40cm - 50cm in Toronto, Ontario. This little machine saved the day. Many neighbors and friends shovel 5 hours or up but I do around 30-35 min for 3 times. Even the snow plow comes by and create a snow bar, I can get that all out without a problem in 10 min. For small house, narrow path way, but still strong enough to push away around 20cm of snow but if it is too high like 30cm, or harden snow, then don't push it too hard, and maybe even and should divide it. So, use your brain and this machine should last for a while to serve you (unless it is a lemon).

Some Pro and Con:
- Size: not big for storage a single garage, small is small a bit than a manual lawn mower.
- Weight: not too much for me but sure still hard to say for senior, kids and ladies (guess over 70).
- Build: strong but all plastic so don't treat it like it is like a commercial grade snow blower.
- Wires: that is always a Con. So for small size house and area only and wire is always in your way. Anyhow, not a problem for many people.. But still my wire is 100FT so long enough to help out my neighbors a bit to cut a hole on his snow bar and path for him.
- Setup: Quite easy, just attach the handle and work in 5-10 min. / no maintenance.

I usually don't recommend to buy the battery powered version, (and I can't comment it for I don't have one), because the Lithium battery is usually short time usage and expensive for high power motor equipment. Usually the power get weaker over time, or even not as powerful. And if you have one, better buy two or more batteries, otherwise you will regret you stuck in half of the job done.
