Earthwise SN74016 40-Volt Cordless Electric Snow Shovel, Brushless Motor, 16-Inch width, 300lbs/Minute (Battery and Charger Included)

A little background first. Here in Wisconsin our snowfalls can range from inches to feet. For the latter, we have a gas powered blower that handles the biggest drifts. I bought the Earthwise blower for the former. When it only snows a couple of inches but the driveway and walks still need to be cleared. This unit took about 30 minutes to assemble. The instructions were much better than many I've encountered. I'd recommend an Electric Screwdriver as some of the attachments are self tapping screws. Once assembled and the battery charged, it worked like a charm in about 2 inches of snow. The discharge chute adjusts easily. The unit in general is light and easy to maneuver. Another plus are the wheels as some other brands don't have wheels to move about. A Big Plus is it's cordless, no power cord to deal with. The only "Con" I found, and it's really minor. The unit won't stand upright when the battery is installed. The weight causes the unit to lie on the ground/floor when not in use. Without the battery, it stands upright just fine. This blower is ideal for clearing decks, patios, and driveways. I would recommend it, it's not a driftbuster but will handle light to moderate snows with ease.

I was hesitant about buying this snow blower instead of one of the more well-known brands like EGO, but I chose this model because I wanted something easier than a push shovel—and the wheels on this unit sealed the deal for me. This snow blower is a solid, dependable machine designed to do exactly what it’s meant to do: clear your sidewalks and driveway efficiently. It’s not the most powerful option out there, but it’s far from weak. For typical snowfalls, it works like a charm. It did struggle a bit with the plowed snow from the street, where the slushy, frozen bottom layer was more challenging to clear. However, with the built-in scraper on the bottom, I was able to tackle even that with a bit of extra effort. The battery life is decent for a unit in this price range. I was able to clear my sidewalks (about 25 feet total) and both sides of both my cars in the parking spaces without needing a recharge. By the end, the battery was down to one bar, but it’s hard to say if that meant 5 minutes or 30 minutes of power left. Either way, it got the job done without interruption. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. For around $200, it’s hard to complain. Did I want one of the high-end EGO models? Absolutely. Did my wife veto an $800 snow blower for a townhouse sidewalk? Yup, she sure did. This machine is a great compromise, and I strongly recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable and practical solution for light to moderate snow clearing.

This little unit works great. We ordered it much earlier in 2025, really after the snow season, as it was on sale. There were undescribed delays in receiving it, but it finally arrived in August. I ordered it as we had one heavy snow last year, of about a foot, that for the first time in my life, I felt overwhelmed even though I grew up in Michigan’s U.P. shoveling through much deeper snows. I’m in my 70s now, but I’m a fit and strong 70s, keeping in shape for snow skiing. I decided, though, it’s probably time for some kind of snow removal machine. We don’t have room in our garage for a true snow thrower. I also didn’t want to deal with the annual maintenance of a gas fueled machine. The price on this unit was such that I was willing to take a flyer on it. Even if it lasts just one year, I’ll be happy. It also had good reviews. I considered the EGO electric shovel, which had higher ratings, but there was one review of it that hit home. One of the reviewer’s description of himself fit me to a tee, 70s, in shape, strong, same height & weight. He said that the knock on the EGO was the lack of wheels. With its weight, and even with his strength, he had trouble maneuvering the EGO. So, I opted for the Earthwise model with its wheels, not just for me, but in case my wife ever has to use it. As I write this, it is Dec 1 and we are getting our first snow. We have about 3 inches or so, and it’s slightly on the wet side. So, I fired up this thing for a shake down cruise. It was well worth the wait! I like to have perfectly clean concrete after shoveling. This thing goes down to the concrete, although some overspray might dust the newly cleaned areas. After playing with the adjustable chute, though, I was able to avoid that. There are some nuances to using it, like don’t push hard on the front edge of the machine. Just use the hand grip and gently guide the machine through the snow, letting the machine do the work. Don’t force it. In my case, the snow was getting thrown about 15-20 feet in a fine spray. Make sure there isn’t tree debris lurking beneath the snow. I had some leaves and twigs. The leaves didn’t do much, but the twigs are a little tough on the unit, although it didn’t break. I just don’t recommend using this as a wood chipper, too. I have about a 40 foot long, two lane, driveway. The battery charge was sufficient to get me through that, although I’m contemplating buying a backup battery. I’ll see how the season goes with the one. The unit easily stores out of the way on hooks on my Gladiator Garage Works Geartracks on my garage wall. So, based on my one use so far, the ease of use, sufficient battery power, and the easy storage, I highly recommend this electric snow shovel.

This 40v cordless snow shovel works great. Easy to assemble and is pretty powerful snow shovel. The battery lasts for me to do my driveway and sidewalks in front of my house. It is lightweight and it blows the snow a good distance. It really helps to save my back from shoveling. I am happy with this purchase.

I'm 71. 5'8" The bad first because that's what you came for and the good is last. And no I'm not going to get rid of mine. Handle is too low, kills my back pushing it. Watch the videos everyone is bent over pushing it. Why??? Give it a longer handle! Give it a T handle, that one handed handle is no good in all but bunny snow. And the forward handle just kills your back even worse as you bend over even more. While not self powered, put an auger in it tipped with tire rubber that can pull it along the side walk, like most snow blowers can. But the safety button ... omg! If I press a safety button and then the trigger, I expect the safety button to lock so I only have to hold down the trigger. Not on this! Let up just a tad on the safety and it shuts down. To make matters worse, when you press the safety button and the trigger, it takes a second or two to start up. In the end you over compensate and squeeze harder and then your hand starts hurting so you let up just a little on both "triggers" and then a little more. It stops ... mother of ...! Ok, which would I grab, this or the shovel? Well, this as I was able to finish the walk. And I did do the flagstone patio which normally I don't. So if a shovel is a 1, I'd give this a 3. But I was hoping for a 5. But with a longer handle and getting rid of the safety button it has the potential of a 5. Mind you it's not self powered which would make it awesome. I'll probably like it more after I hot wire the safety button, assuming I can open the handle. Otherwise I'll tape it down or krazy glue it down. I think I'll hot glue it down. Will it hold? But this safety button shall not stand! I'll pitch the GD thing before I do that again. But I expect this will be and easy modification. I will have to figure out how to lengthen the handle and still be able to pull the trigger. Suggestions would be appreciated. I may have to cut the wire inside the handle and perhaps use a pvc pipe to extend. Ok so that's the bad. The GOOD: The wheels make it so easy to "jump" a crack. Just pull back, push down and move forward. Very nice. I use this on a flagstone walk and it did a really good job. It did ok on the flagstone stairs too, a little awkward and that dang safety button make it MUCH harder that it had to be. The wheels make stairs a little difficult but that is to be expected. You just have to do a half a stair at a time. My stairs are odd shaped and I hit the auger on one and it survived. So that's unexpected. I figured the auger would break up the first time I hit a stair so I bought another. The battery. Mine did not fall out, so maybe they have fixed this problem. I had a misty rain on three inches of snow and there was plenty of power. Throwing snow left or right was acceptable. I have a very long flagstone walk and two sets of stairs from the city side walk to the house. The city side walk in front is about two standard city lots (I do part of my neighbors). I still have two green lights on the battery. I started fully changed. So I'm happy there. Perhaps I did not need to buy a second battery. I picked this because it had a 16 in width. And honestly three passes did a decent job on the city side walk. Far from perfect but ok. Is it as good as my four year old corded electric snow blower? I don't thing that's the question really. I'll pull this out before I deal with 100 ft of electrical cord in the snow and have to move it twice. What else? Oh storage. It stand up pretty straight if you lean it forward. My son was able to put it into the back of the front closet. It's hard to see. And the best part is, is if she finds it, I didn't do it! But seriously if it's close to where your going to need it, well, you'll use it. That's all.

I purchased this because i have a 75 ft long steep driveway. We first used it at the beginning of December after a 5 inch snowfall and it worked really well. Today we are faced with 10 plus inches and we just did our first pass at 4 inches to try and stay ahead of the accumulation. This little guy did a really great job and the battery held up well. Having wheels is also a huge plus. It is pretty powerful and blows the snow about 10-12 feet with the ability to direct which way to blow it. One downside - you have to push a button in on the side to engage the gripper handle to turn on sort of like a weed whacker - It would be better if there were a way to position it to stay on rather than having to continue to grip the handle. I am 62 and my hands are done and i have to go out again soon to do another pass - thinking about trying to find a way to keep both the button and handle engaged. Duct tape???? I attached 2 photos please overlook the finger..LOL....Overall I am not upset about the purchase.

Battery lasts a long time and easy to store anywhere. It’s the best one on the market, if you ask me! Love the handle to use both hands! It’s light weight, but also can direct the snow somewhat. It has a flap that goes straight or side by side. No cord, cordless! Really love this snow pusher! Over three inches, has harder time throwing

This looked like an effective tool in the videos. And it is - but I hit 2 problems right away. The fit of the 2 shaft sections was way too loose and so the powerhead was wobbly. I made a shim of sheet metal to fill the gap (see photo) - better, still not totally solid. The square holes on the upper section, for the bolt head, are punched too low, preventing the upper section from sliding down all the way onto the lower section. I opened them up with a Dremel grinding bit (see photo). NOW I have a solid shaft. Assembly complete, I tried rolling it on the garage floor - immediately that useless battery door flopped down, my knee hit it, and it broke off at the hinges - that cool green plastic snapped like dry twigs (see photo). I went to American Lawn Mower's web site, checked available parts for this model, guess what, the battery door is not among them. I created a support ticket, American Lawn Mowers responded quickly and sent a new door. I've rigged a strap to hold it shut (photo). In actual use, I was impressed . It easily cut into a few inches of somewhat heavy snow and threw it a good distance. It doesn't sound like it has much power, but it does. And its light weight makes it great for clearing entryways and steps. The limitation is that it basically throws snow straight ahead - turning the adjustment knob only alters it a few degrees. That means you pretty much have to work with the wind, and if there's no wind it gets more difficult. Another minor problem is that with the battery installed the tool won't stand in its own, it falls over. Other, similar tools seem to share these issues and they might be tough to avoid in design. It's also too short for a lot of adults (I'm 5' 10"). Pushing down a sidewalk while hunched over is tiring, and looks ridiculous. I'm trying to think of a way to extend the shaft but that will take some doing. It's a useful tool and if ALM can fix a couple of quality issues and shortcomings it would be a five star product. UPDATE: I eventually got some steel tubing and managed to replace the upper shaft section, adding 3" (see photo). It was a lot of work, but now it's useable by someone over 5' 6". It would have been SO easy for Earthwise to have included an optional bolt hole for another couple of inches in the shaft.

I have a snow thrower of the same brand, Earthwise, which has a snow chute and is very effective for dry snow up to 25 cm depth as tested. For wet snow ( partially melted snow ) the snow thrower becomes very difficult to handle because the wet snow is stuck inside the chute. The Earthwise battery driven snow shovel is of no chute and just like a machine shovel. It exclusively has two wheels to make you easy to maneuver. This one is very good for shovelling wet snow. The battery is originally on the bottom side of snow thrower, the position for snow shovel is on the hand side. When the battery is putting on, the hand side drips down, this is a pity. I think the battery had better to be designed on the bottom side.

購入して2年経ちました。 北海道の降雪量で毎日フル稼働しても壊れることなく毎年大助かりです。 お値段が高かったけど良い買い物をしました。 難点をあげるなら、 ①重い。 安いやつだと約4kgだけど、これは約2倍。 ②予備の充電池が欲しくて販売元にお願いしたけど購入できなかった。 充電が切れたら除雪は強制休憩タイム。 ③作動中はずっとレバー？を握ってなければならないけど、私が握力が低いせいか握ってるのが辛いけど頑張って除雪してたらバネ指になりました。 私にとってこの3点は辛い要因ですが、これがない生活は考えられないほど大事だからマイナス点があっても☆5です。

Works well on fluffy snow. Heavy one, you have to push harder. It's ok, depends of your arms condition. It throws the snow pretty far, you have any control on it, except left,center, right. But it has a lot of torque and time on battery

かなり前方に飛ぶので 家の前が空き地だと 最高かとおもいます パワーもあり ご近所さんもみんな羨む商品でした

Surprisingly that's a real snow blower... a kick ass.if you have double driveway and living in the countryside that's not for you It's not for breaking ice either just snow or wet snow if wet snow just spray some dw-40 or anything similar on the blades and it will make wet snow fly. in just 15 minutes the job is done done
