Litheli Cordless Snow Throwers: Shovel Size or Full Blower?

Litheli makes battery-powered outdoor tools, and its winter lineup splits into two styles. Snow shovels, sometimes called power shovels, are light, handheld machines that look like a stick with a spinning paddle at the bottom; you push them along steps, decks and walkways and they flick snow aside. Snow blowers are walk-behind machines on wheels with a wider intake and a chute that throws snow farther. Both are cordless, so there is no gas to store, no pull cord and far less noise than a gas machine.
These six Litheli snow throwers differ mainly by size: four are 20V snow shovels clearing 12 or 13 inches wide, while two are 40V wheeled snow blowers clearing about 20 inches wide and up to 12 inches deep for full driveways.

The Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel 20V 12-inch is the original, lightest model at 8.8 pounds. It clears a 12-inch path and comes with a 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery and charger. Litheli says the battery also works with all Litheli 20V tools.
The listing highlights a dual-action start that prevents accidental activation, a battery compartment cover that keeps snow out, and an auxiliary handle you can set at different angles and heights. The package includes the shovel, battery, charger, handle locking knob, two shaft locking knobs and a manual. There is a helpful cold-weather tip too: if the machine will not start, let the battery warm up indoors, and always wipe the machine dry after use. Warranty is three years on the tool and one year on the battery and charger.
The throw distance is inconsistent: the features say up to 20 feet, while the specs say 8 feet. The listing calls it best for powder snow, with an ideal depth of about 6 inches. It suits someone clearing porch steps, a deck or a small patio. For longer walkways, a 13-inch model covers a bit more ground per pass.
Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel 13-Inch for Sidewalks
This Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel widens the path to 13 inches, clears up to 6 inches deep and throws snow up to 20 feet. Litheli designs it for driveways, sidewalks and patios in light to moderate snowfall. The features say 9 pounds, while the spec table says 10.1 pounds.
Its 20V battery gives up to 35 minutes of runtime, and the included 4.0Ah pack doubles as a 20,000 mAh portable power bank for charging a phone, which is handy during a winter power cut. The battery works with Litheli U20 series tools. An adjustable handle reduces strain, operation is quiet enough for early mornings, and warranty is three years on the tool and one year on the battery.
It suits a homeowner with a sidewalk and short driveway in areas with lighter snow. If you want a brushless motor in the same size, the next 13-inch model adds it.

Snow Blower
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
Snow Blower
Best for: Driveways with heavy, wet snow
Pros
- 20-inch width, 12-inch depth
- Brushless motor
- Wheels and dual LED lights
- Throws up to 25 ft
Cons
- Battery inclusion unclear
- 7 lbs to store
The Snow Blower listing from Litheli has a very short title, but the features describe a wheeled, walk-behind 40V machine. It clears a 20-inch path up to 12 inches deep and throws snow up to 25 feet, and Litheli says it handles heavy, wet and icy snow.
It uses a brushless motor, which runs more efficiently and lasts longer than a standard brushed motor because there are no brushes to wear out. Dual LED headlights help in the dark, and push-button start replaces a pull cord. It runs on Litheli E1 series batteries and weighs 34.7 pounds. The listing mentions an E1 4.0Ah battery but does not clearly say whether a battery and charger are in the box, so confirm before buying.
It suits a full driveway or anyone facing deeper storms. For a similar machine where the battery and charger are clearly included, see the 2x20V model below. Our guide to the 40V snow blower category explains how these compare with larger machines.
Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel 12-Inch with Fast Charger for Short Driveways
This Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel 20V 12-inch includes a 4.0Ah battery and a fast charger. The features say it clears 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep, throwing snow up to 20 feet, and can handle heavy wet snow when needed, though Litheli recommends a snow blower for heavy use. The spec table lists a 12-inch ideal depth, which conflicts with the 6-inch figure.
It runs up to 35 minutes, has an adjustable handle, runs quietly and carries a three-year tool and one-year battery warranty. One difference to note: this listing says its battery works with Litheli E1 series products, while the 13-inch shovels name U20 series. If you already own Litheli batteries, check which family they belong to.
It suits a short driveway and walkway where a fast recharge between passes helps. For more width, choose a 13-inch model.

Best for: Shovel buyers wanting brushless power
Pros
- Brushless motor
- 13-inch width
- Battery doubles as power bank
- Up to 35 minutes runtime
Cons
- 6-inch depth limit
The Litheli 20V Cordless Snow Shovel with adjustable handle is the 13-inch shovel with a brushless motor. Litheli says the brushless motor gives stronger torque, higher efficiency and a longer lifespan. It clears 6 inches deep and throws up to 20 feet.
Like the other 13-inch model, it runs up to 35 minutes, and the 4.0Ah battery doubles as a 20,000 mAh power bank and fits U20 series tools. It lists 9 pounds in the features and 10.3 pounds in the specs, with a three-year tool and one-year battery warranty.
It suits a buyer who wants a shovel-size tool built to last several winters. More on this style is in our Litheli power snow shovel guide.
Litheli 2x20V Cordless Snow Blower 20-Inch for Full Driveways
Best for: Full driveways and deeper snow
Pros
- Battery and fast charger included
- 180° adjustable chute
- Brushless 40V motor
- Wheels and LED headlights
Cons
- Heaviest at 34.7 lbs
- Width and depth figures vary
The Litheli 2x20V Cordless Snow Blower is the wheeled blower with the battery and fast charger clearly included. Its 40V brushless motor clears 20 inches wide and 12 inches deep, throwing snow up to 25 feet; the spec table lists 21 inches and 13 inches instead.
It adds a 180° adjustable chute, so you can aim snow left, right or forward. Dual LED headlights, smooth wheels, push-button start and a safety trigger round it out. The battery is E1 series. The title says 2x20V, but the features mention one 4.0Ah battery, so check how many batteries ship. It weighs 34.7 pounds.
It suits a full driveway or regular heavy snow. For steps and decks, a shovel is easier to carry.
How to Choose the Right Litheli Snow Thrower
