Greenworks 40V 12" Brushless Snow Shovel (Tool Only)

I used it for the first time today after that snow Shinanagins has happened in Essex county. Clean right to the cement. If large drift use only half so it doesn't shut off. Now just need to get used to it. Going to hopefully make clearing the snow easier though out the Winter. Will keep people posted.So second time trying to use it and kind of disappointed. Was in the garage over night went to use it and all it did was sputter no snow flowing. The safety switch was pressed and the trigger as it was released. So right now I'm at a bit of a loss.2026/01/ 26 So I've finally had the chance to get to really use this machine. I'm truly now impressed with it. Worth the purchase honestly! I just cleared my driveway and did a really good job. Cleared a 18" snow drifts that was next to the gate and back of my place. Hint though when using it keep a part clear so it doesn't choke. Over all glad I have it. Cheers.Followed the instructions too.

Works great and the battery lasts long enough for me to finish the driveway and back deck. It is heavy and just sits on the ground, could use something on the base to make pushing it easier, but overall I am happy with it.

Efficace, mais effectivement un peu lourd.

Assez lourd à manipuler bon dans la neige folle seulement. Pas recommander dans les marches.

Love this snow shovel. Clears my 16’ x 16’ back deck, the concrete slab between the deck and garage, the front porch, and the snow in front of the garage on 1 battery charge. Sends the snow way out into the yard. No more lifting shovels for me! It’s been a game changer for me this winter in Sault Ste.Marie!!

Used it about 20 times over 2 winters. Worked well, threw snow well, slightly heavy, but to be expected. Quit just into the third winter. Didn’t get to use it much, so it’s a bit of a dud.

I love it. We live in a new build semi near Ottawa, ON… laneway is two cars wide 1.5 cars deep.
Light snow is a breeze, it throws it well onto my front lawn; heavy snow is easy, throws it far enough onto my lawn as well. If I was going to nitpick, I wish it had a directional attachment to be able to aim where I blow the snow.
I fully recommend this tool.

Item arrived, battery was charged with anticipation of the first snow fall in Toronto. Happy to say it performed well. The shovel handled the wet snow with ease and moved it with no issues. The battery lasted long enough to finish my driveway, sidewalk and my neighbours sidewalks. My only issue is that Greenworks should offer a diverted unit (to direct the snow) as an option. Other than that....so far, so good!

Great shovel very easy to use

Throws snow well; a little heavier than I would like.

I have three of these units in my garage that do not work. First one worked three times, the replacement did not work right out of the box, and the third one did not work this year after about using it 5 times last year. The replacement warranty and customer service for all of my Greenworks products has been good, but as the defective items stack up in my garage, after having three shovels not work, a leaf blower not work, and a couple of lawn mowers stop working, I’m “beginning” to question the quality of these products. If it wasn’t for owning a number of the batteries, I probably would have changed brands by now.

Won't know how good it works until we get a little bit of snow.

Un peu lourde.

Pros: it throws snow like you wouldn't believe, far!, Fairly easy to manage weight wise. It's not light but not super heavy., It's not that noisy, cleans right to the ground, Did a six car driveway in less than 20 mins (light snow maybe 2-3cm of med heavy snow)Cons: the battery!!! It went from a full charge to the first light which means it sucks that battery quickly. If ur in need, buy an extra battery but they are NOT cheap, weight is not light but not super heavy but if u are out there for 20 mins it gets pretty heavy after a while for some people who aren't strong.Overall: good product, fix the battery life!;-)

This shovel is very sturdy . I remember the Toro electric shovel from my childhood had a flimsy feel. This one is the opposite and is a price to it, heavy weight and less maneuverability. I bought this shovel so my teens can find shovelling more fun but because of the shovel's height and weight using the shovel, it is not a good experience for them . So I am the only one using it . After shoveling my sidewalk and walkway and did my neighbor’s the shovel still has power but my forearms were sore .

It's great quality and works really well. However it is a bit heavy...

The battery lasts about 40 minutes. I like the fact that you can use the same size batteries from other Greenworks products.My only criticism is that Greenworks recommends that the snow shovel needs to be stored indoors (heated place).

A little heavy for my wife but works great.

first thing... it was quit a bit heavier than I expected. having said that you don't throw it over your shoulder like a shovel full of snow(which is much heavier). it's very quiet which surprised me. I also wasn't expecting how far this thing throws snow so watch out where you point it. the emergency stop is instant which is nice. the battery charged fast. i have about 30 or 40ft of narrow sidewalk to do so no problem with the run time but i don't think it would last long enough for big stuff. I was surprised at how it handle packed down stuff but of coarse if you get it when it's fresh it's effortless. battery lasts half as long in hard snow

It’s best at cutting a path to remote sheds. It takes some getting used to at first, but after a few runs it’s possible to clear walkways and regular size driveways in less time than using a snow shovel, and with less effort.

Too heavy

The Greenworks electric shovel works very well for our purposes, but we found it to be much heavier than expected. Have only had the opportunity to use it once, so a little to early to give a thorough review of the product.
