No cords, no gas, no limits on where you can go. Cordless battery snow blowers deliver true freedom of movement with the power to handle real winter weather.
Cordless battery snow blowers combine the best of both worlds: the convenience of electric with the freedom of gas. No extension cord tethering you to an outlet, no fuel to mix, no pull cord to fight โ just press a button and go wherever the snow is.
Modern lithium-ion battery systems (56Vโ80V) have closed the performance gap dramatically. Today's cordless models handle 6โ12 inches of fresh snow on a standard driveway without breaking a sweat, and dual-battery configurations extend runtime for larger properties.
The real magic is portability. Clear your driveway, then walk to the sidewalk, then the back deck, then the path to the mailbox โ no cord management, no dragging a gas machine around corners. For most suburban homeowners, cordless is the most practical snow blower you can buy.
No cord to manage, no outlet to reach. Clear the driveway, sidewalk, deck, and walkways in one seamless session without untangling anything.
Press a button and go. Works every single time, even after sitting in a freezing garage for weeks. No priming, no choke, no pull cord.
Most cordless models run at 70โ80 dB โ half the perceived loudness of gas. Clear snow at 6 AM without a single complaint.
Typically 30โ160 lbs โ dramatically lighter than gas. Easy for anyone in the household to handle, turn, and store upright in tight spaces.
Major brands share batteries across their entire tool lineup. Your snow blower battery powers your leaf blower, mower, trimmer, and chainsaw.
No oil changes, no spark plugs, no fuel stabilizer, no carburetor cleaning, no gas cans in the garage. Charge the battery and you're done.
Our top-tested cordless battery snow blowers for the current season. Full individual breakdowns coming soon.
The cordless king. Two 7.5Ah batteries cleared our 60-foot driveway of 10" fresh snow with charge to spare. The variable-speed auger provides finesse on walkways and full power on the driveway, and Peak Performance mode digs through packed snow impressively. LED headlights, steel auger, and a 200ยฐ chute rotation make this feel far more capable than its battery-powered label suggests.
The 80V system delivers noticeably more torque on wet snow than any 56V we tested. The 22" width hits the sweet spot between coverage and agility. A rapid charger gets a depleted 4Ah battery back to full in about 30 minutes โ rotate two batteries and you can effectively run all day. DigiPro brushless motor maximizes efficiency per charge.
At just 32 lbs, this is the snow blower anyone can use โ older adults, teens, anyone who dreads heavy machinery. It handles 4โ6" of fresh snow beautifully on decks, walkways, and small driveways. Not built for blizzards, but absolutely perfect as a shovel replacement for light-to-moderate winters. The price point makes it an easy impulse buy.
Ryobi's massive 40V battery ecosystem makes this an incredible value if you already own their tools. The brushless motor squeezes more runtime per charge, and the 21" width handles standard driveways with 6โ8" of snow comfortably. Two included 6Ah batteries provide solid runtime, and the price undercuts competitors significantly.
America's #1 snow blower brand enters the cordless arena with serious intent. The patented all-steel Power Edge auger throws heavy wet snow up to 40 feet โ the farthest of any single-stage cordless we've tested. The massive 7.5Ah Flex-Force battery clears up to a 12-car driveway per charge, and the 75+ tool ecosystem makes it a true all-season investment. Premium pricing, but you get Toro build quality and a full (not limited) warranty.
Cordless sits right in the middle โ here's how it stacks up against the other options so you can see where it wins and where it trades off.
Cordless wins outright. No cord limits your range, no gas machine's weight limits your agility. Clear any area of your property without planning a cord route or hauling 250 lbs.
๐ Cordless WinsGas two-stage still leads in brute force. Corded electrics offer consistent power without battery drain. Cordless power is excellent for moderate snow but drops as batteries deplete.
โฝ Gas WinsGas runs until the tank empties. Corded runs indefinitely. Cordless gives 30โ60 min per charge โ enough for most driveways, but heavy storms on large lots may need battery swaps.
๐ค Depends on PropertyCordless and corded are both whisper-quiet at 70โ80 dB. Gas hits 95โ106 dB. If early-morning clearing or noise ordinances matter, cordless is the clear winner.
๐ Cordless WinsCordless has the highest upfront cost due to battery packs. But zero fuel, zero maintenance, and cross-tool battery sharing make the lifetime cost very competitive.
โฝ Gas Cheaper UpfrontLithium-ion batteries lose 10โ30% capacity in sub-zero temps. Gas engines thrive in cold. Store batteries indoors and insert right before use to minimize the impact.
โฝ Gas WinsBattery tech is evolving fast. These are the cordless-specific specs you need to understand before choosing a model.
The headline power number. 40V handles light duty (walkways, decks, 4โ6" snow). 56V is the residential sweet spot. 80V delivers the closest performance to entry-level gas. Higher voltage = more torque under load.
Range: 40V โ 80VDetermines runtime โ think of it as tank size. A 5Ah battery at 56V gives roughly 30 min; a 7.5Ah gives 45โ60 min. Dual-battery systems double runtime and balance power draw for consistent performance throughout.
Range: 4Ah โ 10AhCordless models range from 18" to 24". The 21"โ24" range handles standard residential driveways efficiently. Narrower 18" models are perfect as dedicated walkway and deck machines.
Range: 18" โ 24"Standard chargers take 2โ4 hours. Rapid chargers cut that to 30โ60 minutes. If you buy two batteries and a rapid charger, you can effectively run indefinitely by rotating them.
Range: 30 min โ 4 hrsMost cordless models throw 20โ35 feet. Variable-speed augers let you dial back for walkways (less scatter) and crank up for the driveway. Sufficient for residential lots, but less than gas.
Range: 20 โ 35 ftMost major brands (EGO, Greenworks, Ryobi, Milwaukee, DeWalt) share batteries across their tool lineups. Buying into an ecosystem you already own can save hundreds on the snow blower purchase.
