Earthwise SN70016 Electric Corded 12Amp Snow Shovel, 16" Width, 430lbs/Minute

Product Information

How much snow an electric shovel can clear depends on the height and width of the intake chute. The height of the intake chute determines the maximum depth of snow the device can remove (about 4 to 8 inches). You’ll want to select an electric snow shovel with an intake chute at least as deep as the typical snowfall in your area.

This unit never stopped—it just bulled right through it—it was incredible,” wrote a reviewer. “I pushed it hard to see what it would handle, absolutely no problem on this wind-blown 14 inches of snow.” Another noted, “What would have normally taken me well over an hour took less than 20 minutes.” I have used one of these shovels for 35 years and it has been wonderful,” described one customer. “I wore mine out until all that is left on the blade is the ribs. Best snow pusher ever.” Another reviewer wrote, “Exactly what you would want in a snow pusher: Durable, lightweight, and just the right size for a reasonable price.” Specifications Li Y, Frimpong S.

Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2007, 42(8): 995–1006 An electric snow shovel works best on newly fallen snow that is light, fluffy, and has not had a chance to melt and become heavy. An electric snow shovel or blower can move powdery snow more easily and launch it farther than it can wet snow. Q. How do you fix an electric snow shovel? Most electric snow shovels have the same qualities, but some have a few added features or take a different type of battery or number of batteries. Because they run on electricity, a cordless or corded electric snow shovel doesn’t need oil or gas as fuel. This means there are no last-minute runs to get fuel and there are zero gas emissions. The Earthwise SN72018 Electric Corded 13 Amp Snow Thrower has a lot of great features that will help deal with all the snow you may see this winter. The dual LED lights will come in really handy for those dark mornings and evenings. The 13 Amp (it’s actually 13-1/2 Amps) electric motor is powerful enough to move up to 700 pounds of snow per minute. The steel auger features four steel blades that cut through a path 18 inches wide by 10 inches deep with each pass. The halogen work light is nice to have to light up what you’re doing in the dark of winter. The easy-glide wheels help make the Snow Joe simple to maneuver. This electric snow shovel features a scraper blade that can clear right to the ground without damaging your concrete as well.

Atlanta: IEEE, 2010, 5239–5244 The size of the shovel's blade is another contributing factor when selecting the best snow shovel for your needs. Larger blades can move more snow and larger snow piles and are useful for pushing snow out of the way. However, if the purpose is to lift snow, a larger blade could be too heavy. Snow can vary in depth and weight, so it’s wise to consider how snow falls in the designated area. A square foot of snow, depending on if it’s wet or dry, and on its density, can weigh anywhere between three to 21 pounds. Commercial Snow Shovel HandleThe shovel was super easy to put together,” described a happy buyer. “It came with a battery charger, a battery, and of course the shovel itself. After charging, I was able to use this [for] well over an hour non-stop. It threw the snow about 25 feet into the air and, although I am a woman, I was able to push it with one hand as it cleared the driveway. I am so thrilled with the high quality of this shovel [and] I highly recommend it!” Specifications Optional raised-heel design for improved maintenance and production characteristics ( 4100C BOSS, 4100XPC, 4100XPC AC-90) To find a great tool that sits between an electric snow blower and a traditional shovel, we’ve compiled the following list of electric snow shovels for you to choose from.

It’s important to keep in mind that although electric snow shovels require less physical effort than manual shovels, they are heavier. Compared to a shovel that weighs a couple of pounds, for some people, carrying around an 11- to 14-pound electric shovel may get uncomfortable after a while. If you have a small driveway or don’t get much snow, a traditional shovel might be a more practical choice. Optimized boom design with stabilized handle geometry improves dipper maneuverability and maintenance access The plastic blades are a bit elevated from the base of the head, making it ideal for clearing snow from patios, steps, and sidewalks with relative ease. The head itself is designed for heavy-duty use and is capable of dealing with both dry and wet snow.

Traditional snow shovels: A traditional shovel is typically a lightweight shovel used for moving snow from sidewalks and small driveways/areas. The shovel itself is usually flat with a blade that’s around 18 to 24 inches wide. The included electric snow shovels in this list can all throw snow, but for bigger storms or even more power, it might be better to select a blower with a longer (or infinite in this case) battery life. The WEN Snow Blaster has a cord and needs a power outlet, but this and its 18-inch snow clearing width means it’ll last as long as users need it for and it’s better for heavy snow. This also has an adjustable chute for changing the direction it throws snow. Learn how Adaptive Controls 2 can improve your productivity and dig performance.
