Best budget in snow blowers
A light, quiet push blower for short drives, walks and decks after light to moderate snow. Its 10 in clearing depth and 25 ft throw are the limit: it is not a machine for the plow ridge.

Is it right for you?
Pros
- Weighs 45.9 lb without the battery, light enough to lift onto a deck
- Same model number and barcode on Greenworks' US and Canadian stores
- 4-year limited warranty on both the tool and the battery
- Three auger speeds, two LED lights and a chute lever that turns 180°
- Takes any Greenworks 60 V battery; a bigger one clears more per charge
Cons
- 10 in clearing depth and 25 ft throw: no match for a plow ridge
- One 4.0 Ah battery; Greenworks rates the kit at up to a 6-car driveway
- Battery is rated to run only down to 1.4 °F (-17 °C) and charges indoors
- Manual gives no part numbers for the scraper bar or drive belt
- Best for
- Short driveways, walkways and decks that get light to moderate snowfalls, for owners who want a quiet, low-upkeep machine they can lift and store easily.
- Not for
- Long driveways, heavy wet snow or the packed ridge a plow leaves at the end of the drive; a two-stage machine handles those.
Our verdict
The Greenworks 2620102 is the lightest blower we list and the simplest to live with when snow comes in modest amounts. It is a single-stage push machine: a brushless 2.0 kW motor turns a three-speed auger that clears a 20 in wide, 10 in deep path and throws snow up to 25 ft, according to Greenworks. At 45.9 lb without its battery, it can be carried up deck steps or hung on a garage wall.
The kit has one 60 V 4.0 Ah battery and a charger that refills it in about 80 minutes. Greenworks rates that for up to a 6-car driveway per charge and says real coverage depends on snow depth, snow type and temperature. Wet snow and the hard ridge a plow leaves are where a machine this size runs out of ability; single-stage and two-stage blowers compared explains why. Greenworks sells the same model and barcode in Canada and the US, and covers tool and battery for four years.
Cold, charging and storage
Greenworks rates the battery to run between 1.4 °F (-17 °C) and 113 °F and to charge between 39 °F and 104 °F. Charge and store it indoors, never outside. If the blower will not start on a cold morning, the manual says to put the battery on the charger in a warm room for 10 to 15 minutes, or until its light turns green. A steady blue light means the battery is too cold; a flashing blue light means its voltage is low.
After clearing, let it run for a few minutes so the auger does not freeze in place, then store the blower indoors somewhere dry. If the motor runs but the auger does not turn, the belt needs replacing; a thin layer of snow left behind each pass points to a worn scraper bar. The manual explains both jobs but gives no part numbers. Other options are on our snow blower comparison.
Safety: never clear a blocked chute with your hands or feet. Switch the blower off, take the battery out, wait until every part has stopped and use a chute-clearing tool.

Greenworks 2620102 questions
Why won't the Greenworks snow blower start in the cold?
The battery is probably too cold: a steady blue light on it says so. Greenworks says to take it out and put it on the charger in a warm room for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the light turns green, then refit it.
How much driveway will one charge clear?
Greenworks rates the kit, with its one 4.0 Ah battery, at up to a 6-car driveway per charge, and says snow depth, snow type and temperature change that. The blower takes any Greenworks 60 V battery, and a larger one clears more per charge.
Can I keep the battery in a cold garage?
Greenworks says to charge and store the battery indoors, in a dry spot at room temperature. The blower itself should be stored indoors in a dry, sheltered place.
The motor runs but the auger does not turn. What is wrong?
The manual says the drive belt is damaged and needs replacing. Take the battery out before you work on the machine.
