“Best Battery-Powered Snow Blowers of 2024.”
Some cordless electric models rival gas-powered options. Bonus: You’ll find them easier to maintain, too.
At Consumer Reports, we’ve been testing battery-powered snow blowers for more than six years. By creating our own snowlike mixture made of sawdust, we’re able to test the performance of battery snow blowers well before winter—and find the best ones to help you through the coldest, snowiest season of the year.
There’s always the question of choosing between a battery snow blower and a gas snow blower, though. “Battery snow blowers are really nipping at the heels of comparably sized gas models in terms of performance, and they offer advantages that gas snow blowers can’t match,” says Dave Trezza, who oversees CR’s snow blower tests.
Chief among cordless snow blowers’ advantages is that they need neither gasoline nor oil, not to mention engine maintenance. They start instantly with the push of a button and tend to run much quieter than gas models. They’re also lighter and easier to handle, and many single-stage models offer a much lower cost barrier for those on a tighter budget.
