About Earthwise SN74016 40-Volt Cordless Electric Snow Shovel
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
91% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 9% found it short
A fully charged battery can last for 40 minutes to an hour and clear about 1500 square feet easily.
After one year, my battery died and it only works for 3 seconds before shutting down. I had to buy a new battery for $129, but the next one also died after a year.
I charged the battery occasionally over the summer and prior to my attempted use this year. However, there was no power to the electric motor despite firmly fixing the battery in place.
94% liked the adjustable chute control, but 6% found it flimsy
I bought the model with adjustable chute to throw the snow to the right or left, but it was not that effective. It still threw a lot of snow forward where it just had to be moved again.
There is almost no control over where the snow goes, especially if it is lighter and more powdery.
90% impressed with its sturdy build quality, but 10% experienced some issues with rust
I am satisfied with the product even though I store it outside under an overhang and am not a heavy user.
I can't comment on the longevity of the product as it was the first use.
I have complained that the auger of the snow blower is not very durable and thicker plastic fins would increase its longevity.
92% praised its user-friendly design, but 8% had trouble with assembly
I found the snow blower easy to assemble and operate. It's also lightweight.
Assembling the product was pretty easy and took around 30-40 minutes.
After ten minutes, I had to hold the lock button down the entire time to use the device, making it difficult to use.
94% appreciated its relatively quiet operation, though 6% found it too loud
The louvers for deflecting the thrown snow only shift it a very little.
I did not mention the noise level of the product. The review expresses negative sentiment towards the company's customer service and their approach to resolving the issue.
There is almost no control over where the snow is going, especially if it is lighter and more powdery.
91% liked the efficient performance, but 9% had issues with clogging
The snow blower works best with 4-6 inches of snow and has a lot of power to handle more.
I find that the electric shovel is not as powerful as a gas-powered one.
95% found it lightweight and easy to maneuver
I use the snow blower in deeper snow and can lift it up and take multiple runs at snow, working top to bottom.
The product is small and lightweight, yet powerful enough to clear my tiny driveway and walkway.
