EGO Small Snow Blower Guide: Which Compact EGO Clears Your Walkway?

EGO is best known for its 56-volt POWER+ battery system, a family of cordless outdoor tools that all share the same rechargeable ARC Lithium batteries. In snow gear, that means you can clear a path without gasoline, oil changes or a pull cord, and a battery you already own for an EGO mower or blower may power your snow tool too. For first-time buyers the brand is appealing because push-button starts and quiet motors make winter chores far less intimidating.
The six products below split into two groups: the truly small 12-inch snow shovels (one complete kit and two Multi-Head attachments that need a separate power head) and the larger 21-inch single-stage snow blowers, which differ mainly in throw distance, extras and whether batteries are in the box. Single-stage simply means one spinning auger both scoops and throws the snow, which suits most home driveways.
EGO Small Snow Blowers Compared
| Model | Clearing width | Max throw | Ideal snow depth | Battery and charger |

| EGO Power+ SNT2122 | 21 in | 42 ft | 20 cm (about 8 in) | Two 4Ah batteries and 320W charger included |

EGO Power+ 12″ Electric Snow Shovel for Walkways and Decks

EGO Power+ 12" Electric Snow Shovel, Cordless, Includes 56V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger – SNS1201
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
EGO Power+ 12″ Electric Snow Shovel
Best for: Walkways, decks and first-time snow tool buyers
Pros
- Battery and charger included
- Hinged shaft folds for storage
- 60-degree directional throw
Cons
- 12-inch path, 6-inch snow depth
The EGO Power+ 12″ Electric Snow Shovel, model SNS1201, is the smallest complete tool in the lineup. Think of it as a powered shovel: you push it along and a spinning paddle throws snow off to the side, up to 25 feet away. A 60-degree directional dial lets you choose where the snow lands, and a trigger with a two-speed selector controls how far it goes. It clears a 12-inch path and is designed for snow about 6 inches deep.
The kit includes the shovel, a 2.5Ah battery and a 210W charger, so it is ready to use out of the box, which is ideal for gifts. EGO says the included battery clears up to a 3-car driveway with 6 inches of snow. A brushless motor offers long run times and low vibration, and a hinged shaft folds for compact storage in a closet or garage corner. The listing does not specify the weight.
This is the right pick for sidewalks, steps, decks and short driveways after light to moderate snowfall. If your area gets deep or heavy snow, or your driveway is long, one of the 21-inch blowers will save a lot of time.
EGO Power+ SNT2122 21″ Single-Stage Snow Blower for a Complete Kit
EGO Power+
EGO Power+ SNT2122 21" Single-Stage Snow Blower with Peak Power™, (2) 4Ah Batteries and 320W Charger Included
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
EGO Power+ SNT2122 21″ Single-Stage Snow
Best for: Larger driveways wanting a complete kit
Pros
- Two 4Ah batteries and charger included
- 42-foot throw, 180-degree chute
- LED lights, IPX4, adjustable skid shoes
Cons
- Full-size, not a compact tool
The EGO Power+ SNT2122 21″ Single-Stage Snow Blower is a full-size walk-behind machine that ships with two 4Ah batteries and a 320W charger. It uses EGO’s Peak Power technology, which combines two batteries at once for more power. It clears a 21-inch path, handles snow up to a 13-inch clearing height, and throws snow up to 42 feet with a 180-degree adjustable chute and variable auger speed.
The listing lists a 6-inch steel auger, adjustable skid shoes for gravel driveways, IPX4 weather resistance (meaning protection from splashing water), bright LED headlights, a height-adjustable handle and a quick-fold handle for storage. EGO says it clears up to a 10-car driveway with 8 inches of snow on one charge with the included batteries.
It is not small in the shovel sense, measuring 51 x 22 x 40 inches, but it is the most complete ready-to-go blower here. Choose it if you do not own EGO batteries yet and your driveway is too big for a 12-inch tool.
EGO Power+ 21″ Electric Snow Blower for Existing Battery Owners
EGO Power+
EGO Power+ 21" Electric Snow Blower, Cordless Single Stage, Battery and Charger Not Included – SNT2130
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
EGO Power+ 21″ Electric Snow Blower
Best for: Owners who already have EGO batteries
Pros
- 45-foot throw, longest here
- Heated grips, handle chute control
- Push-button start
Cons
- Battery and charger not included
The EGO Power+ 21″ Electric Snow Blower, model SNT2130, is described in its listing as EGO’s most powerful single-stage snow blower. It throws snow up to 45 feet, the farthest in this group, and uses Peak Power with any two EGO 56V batteries. A steel auger and brushless motor are built to handle the heavy pile a city snowplow leaves at the end of a driveway.
Comfort features stand out: heated handle grips keep hands warm, handle-mounted levers steer the chute, and a push-button start means no priming or pull cords. The handle folds for storage. Important for gift buyers: battery and charger are not included. EGO recommends two 6.0Ah batteries, sold separately, and says that setup clears up to a 14-car driveway with 8 inches of snow.
This model suits households that already own EGO batteries from other tools. If you are starting from zero, the SNT2122 or SNT2112 bundles are simpler.
EGO Power+ SNT2112 21-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion for Extra Runtime
EGO Power+
EGO Power+ SNT2112 21-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Steel Auger Snow Blower with (2) 5.0Ah Batteries, Dual Port Charger Included, Plus Extra (1) BA2800T 5.0Ah Battery
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
EGO Power+ SNT2112 21-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion
Best for: Big driveways needing spare runtime
Pros
- Three 5.0Ah batteries in bundle
- Dual port charger
- LED headlights
Cons
- Listing oddly says 2 Cycle engine type
- Large, not a small blower
The EGO Power+ SNT2112 21-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-Ion snow blower comes as a bundle with two 5.0Ah batteries, a dual port charger and a third 5.0Ah battery. That spare battery means you can keep one charging while you work, useful during long storms. It clears a 21-inch path, throws snow up to 40 feet with handle-mounted chute adjustment, and has variable auger speed control.
The listing says the steel auger cuts through ice and snow 50 percent faster than the older SNT2102 model, and that two included batteries clear up to a 12-car driveway with 8 inches of snow. It adds two LED headlights and weather-resistant steel and composite construction. One oddity: the specifications list the engine type as “2 Cycle,” which conflicts with everything else in the listing describing a battery-powered brushless motor. It is a cordless machine; the 2 Cycle entry appears to be a listing error.
Pick this one for big driveways and long storms. For small paths, it is more machine than you need.
EGO Power+ SSA1200 Multi-Head Snow Shovel for System Owners
Best for: Existing EGO Multi-Head System owners
Pros
- 12-inch path, 25-foot throw
- Overload protection clutch
- IPX4, 5-year warranty
Cons
- Power head and battery sold separately
The EGO Power+ SSA1200 Multi-Head Snow Shovel is an attachment, not a standalone tool. It clips onto an EGO POWER+ Multi-Head System power head, a motor-and-handle unit that also drives other attachments. The power head and battery are sold separately, and EGO recommends a 4.0Ah battery, which it says clears a 4-car driveway with 6 inches of snow.
It clears a 12-inch path and throws snow up to 25 feet with directional control. An overload protection clutch stops the auger if it jams, protecting the motor. It has an adjustable front handle, IPX4 weather resistance and a 5-year warranty, and weighs 11.5 pounds according to the listing.
This suits people who already own the Multi-Head power head, for example from using it with trimmer or edger attachments. If you do not, the SNS1201 kit is the easier gift.
EGO Power+ SSA1220 Multi-Head System Carbon for a Tougher Shaft
Best for: Multi-Head owners wanting a durable shaft
Pros
- Carbon fiber shaft
- Lifetime warranty if registered in 90 days
- Integrated direction dial
Cons
- Power head, battery, charger not included
- Heavier at 18.4 lb
The EGO Power+ SSA1220 Multi-Head System Carbon Fiber Snow Shovel Attachment works with Multi-Head power heads PH1400 and PH1420, sold separately. The battery and charger are also not included. Its main difference from the SSA1200 is a carbon fiber shaft, which EGO backs with a lifetime warranty when registered within 90 days of purchase.
It throws snow up to 25 feet with a dial on the shovel head for direction, clears a 12-inch path, and has the same overload protection clutch. EGO says it clears a 4-car driveway with 6 inches of snow with the recommended 4.0Ah battery. The listing gives a weight of 18.4 pounds, noticeably more than the SSA1200’s listed 11.5 pounds; the listing does not explain the difference.
Choose it if you own a compatible power head and value the long warranty. Otherwise the SSA1200 or the complete SNS1201 kit is simpler.
How to Choose the Right EGO Small Snow Blower
Start with the area you need to clear. For steps, decks, sidewalks and short driveways with about 6 inches of snow, a 12-inch tool is enough. For long or wide driveways and deeper snow, a 21-inch single-stage blower is the better match.
Next, check what is in the box. The SNS1201, SNT2122 and SNT2112 include batteries and chargers. The SNT2130 does not. The SSA1200 and SSA1220 need both a battery and a Multi-Head power head. If you already use EGO tools, such as an EGO backpack leaf blower, your 56V batteries can move between tools.
Consider throw distance and comfort. The SNT2130 throws up to 45 feet and has heated grips; the SNT2122 adds LED lights and skid shoes for gravel; the SNT2112 adds a third battery. The shovels throw up to 25 feet.
Finally, think about storage. The SNS1201 has a hinged shaft, and the 21-inch blowers have folding handles, but a shovel will always take up far less room. If you want to compare other cordless options for small spaces, see our guide to a battery-powered cordless snow shovel.
FAQ
Which EGO snow blower is best for a small driveway?
For a short driveway or walkways with around 6 inches of snow, the SNS1201 12-inch snow shovel is the simplest choice because it includes a battery and charger. For deeper snow, step up to a 21-inch model.
Do the EGO snow shovel attachments work on their own?
No. The SSA1200 and SSA1220 need an EGO Multi-Head System power head and a 56V battery, both sold separately.
Which EGO snow blowers ship without a battery?
The SNT2130 21-inch blower and both Multi-Head attachments ship without a battery or charger. The SNS1201, SNT2122 and SNT2112 include them.
What is Peak Power on EGO snow blowers?
Peak Power is EGO’s name for combining the power of two 56V batteries at once in the 21-inch blowers, which the listings say gives gas-like performance.
Can I use my EGO mower battery in these snow tools?
The 21-inch blower listings say they are compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries. The shovel attachments recommend a 4.0Ah battery. Check that your battery is part of the 56V ARC Lithium line.
