First Time Use Review - So I'm from Jersey and if you're looking at the date of this review, we just had around 8 inches land in my area. What better time to test this bad boy out? Granted, I ordered it about a month ago and assembled it. We just haven't had any snow since. I'll say, shipping/box presentation was rough. The product came with a corner smashed in pretty bad, but I hoped everything inside was packed well enough and everything seemed to be in place properly. Instructions to put it together are OKAY. The one thing and maybe my fault, is that I rushed ahead on using 4 screws to put the bottom base together where you join two green plastic covers together. You don't want to do that step until you're ready to screw in the base of the wheels to the unit. The screws will join the wheel assembly to the base of the unit, linking the two green covers together. Just a piece of advise for you there. Aside from that little detail, I think the rest of the assembly was quite straight forward and easy enough. So now, onto performance and ease of use. Some people may complain because it's corded, but I knew that going in. I have 100ft extension cord. As long as you have it loose behind you so you can walk without it pulling you back because you ran out of cord, you'll be fine. I wrap the cord over my shoulder to prevent it from dropping down anywhere near the machine. To engage the machine you have a safety switch you press in and then the trigger held down to activate. Fires up immediately and I just went right at it. The wheels definitely give it nice stability at the bottom so that you can push it with 1 hand rather than having to use two hands to hold it. Though you can, and there is a handle midway up the shaft to give you that extra leverage. I did use that when the snow got tougher to push through. Frequently you're going to hit a snag where it appears to not want to spit, but you simply need to raise or lower it until it bites the snow. It's a lot easier than saying it and all happens in seconds while using it. Put it simply, it won't just do everything for you on its own and will require you to get in with it to make sure it's constantly biting the snow and spitting it forward, but it does it very well and for the most part effortlessly. Another key note worth mentioning is that you can adjust the angle to spit the snow. Not all of these tools have that. It works really well because I required to make it spit left towards my yard and avoid shooting straight onto the street or the neighbors yard on my right. This helps tremendously to guide the snow towards where you want to pile it up. Now for the CONS or things to keep in mind. First obviously, this is my first usage of the machine and cannot give you reliability results yet. I will come back to update this review however if it does go bad on me and any leading factors for that. Keep in mind, you want a relatively flat surface when using this. I mean it can be a driveway that inclines/declines, just make sure that there are no rocks/stones/broken portions that can result in the auger whacking into. Either you're going to be spitting rocks/stones, or you're going to break the plastic auger. Granted it's hard plastic, so it won't go down without a fight. I just wouldn't test it. I bought the 16 inch wide housing over the 12 to get a little more width which would equal completing the job sooner. I HIGHLY recommend that. I know it doesn't seem like much, but those extra inches do help in the grand scheme. More being chomped and spit at a time means less overall passes needed to clear your driveway/walkway. Lastly, you can tackle a wall that the snow plow makes in front of your driveway with it. Because it can be lifted up with a little more effort, you can just basically put it on top of the wall and start grinding your way down. I did this and it worked great. You just need to get yourself an entry point angle to then get it on comfortably and push it along the top until you shave the wall down. So yeah, for now, without a doubt, if you don't mind a corded blower, I highly recommend this. My driveway is the exact length of average sized car left to right and two more right behind them. If you can picture those measurements covered with 8 inches of snow (cars were not in driveway so it was completely covered), it took me 35 minutes to complete the job including the snow wall. Review: Good light duty machine. - First attempt at using this device was on week old slightly crusty snow. It didn’t work very well and went into thermal shutdown three times after a few minutes of use. However on four to five inches of fresh snow it worked great and cleared my driveway without issue. So as long as you understand this is a relatively light duty machine and use it for what it is built for it’s great. If you have heavier crusty snow, I would look at other options. ## Features - Powerful electric snow shovel with a 12-amp motor that can move up to 430 lbs of snow in just 1 minute; The power of this snow sweeper is comparable to a gas-powered snow thrower - An electric snow blower with 16" snow clearing width, 8" snow cleaning depth, and 30' snow throwing distance - Snow clean machine for efficient snow removal - Earthwise Power Tools by ALM snow shovel with 6" rear wheels to make it easy to use and transport - Corded snow shovel key features; Auxiliary handle, cord retention hook, rear wheels, dual-curved auger blade, and thermal protection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073V482GY | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,031 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #19 in Snow Blowers | | Brand | Earthwise | | Clearing Width | 16 Inches | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (2,736) | | Engine Type | Electric | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00052909710160 | | Ideal Snow Depth | 8 Inches | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 15.95 pounds | | Item model number | SN70016 | | Manufacturer | American Lawn Mower Company | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 41"D x 16"W x 38"H | | UPC | 052909710160 | | Voltage | 120 | | Wheel Size | 6 Inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Earthwise - **Color:** Gray - **Engine Type:** Electric - **Ideal Snow Depth:** 8 Inches - **Item Weight:** 7.25 Kilograms - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 41"D x 16"W x 38"H - **UPC:** 052909710160 - **Voltage:** 120 - **Wheel Size:** 6 Inches ## Images ![- SN70016 Electric Corded 12Amp Snow Shovel, 16" Width, 430lbs/Minute - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uAWmCJpDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: For the electric corded 16" snow blower shovel, do you need any type of clean out tool device, for the front area chute? only answer if you know.** A: Review, Thank you for your question. There is no designed device. However, when you do clear out any build up, please make sure the item is unplugged. Earthwise/American Lawn Mower Company **Q: Can you change the direction of the snow being thrown? If so, by how much? Can it take a hard left /right turn for throwing like a snowblower would?** A: LGQ, Thank you for your question. The baffles can be moved to the right or the left, but they can not be adjusted to a 90 degree angle like larger snow throwers with a chute. Earthwise/American Lawn Mower Company **Q: How many belts on this snow blower** A: There are two belts , one small toothed belt from electric motor to a jack shaft, and a ribbed longer but thinner belt from jack shaft to a plastic pully that is lobe connected to the external blade that spins and throws the snow. Small toothed belt is the most likley to fail if you over do it. the belt number is: HTD 126-3M-18 **Q: Can I leave it outside unprotected during the winter?** A: Since this unit has an electrical motor, I would not recommend exposing motor to the elements for long periods. The unit takes up less room than a hoover vacuum and I keep mine stowed in the back corner of my unheated garage year round. Note, any snow removal devices should be at ambient outside temperatures prior to use or snow will freeze to the surfaces. If covered unheated storage is not an option, I would cover loosely with a modified plastic tote to protect motor from dirt & moisture, while allowing unit to dry after use. Anything mechanical if left outside unprotected winter or summer will corrode, deteriorate & become unserviceable. KEEP DRY as much as possible. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets the Job Done.

The only tricky part I ran into was paying attention and making sure the posts were aligned correctly when connecting them, especially the section with the wiring you have to click together. The shovel arrived just before a larger than normal snowfall in our area and it worked great to clear the first 4" of snow. The next day, another 6" or so inches fell and I went back at it. This portion was a bit heavier, and after about 10 to 15 minutes, the shovel just stopped. I gave it some time to cool down, but it happened again after just a few minutes of operation. After the 3rd time, I just put it back in the garage and shoveled by hand. After letting it sit for 2 days, I plugged it back in to see if it was working, and after about 30 seconds there was a flash, a lot of smoke, another flash, a LOT more smoke and then it died for good. Needless to say, I returned it and did not replace it. This may be a great tool, but the one I received did not fare well at all. ## Frequently Bought Together - Earthwise SN70016 Electric Corded 12Amp Snow Shovel, 16" Width, 430lbs/Minute - Yard Master Outdoor Extension Cord, 120 Foot Light Duty, Water Resistant, Flexible, 16 Gauge 2 Prong, Lime Green, 9940010 - Bayco KW-110 Cord Reel, Orange --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/63796804-sn70016-electric-corded-12amp-snow-shovel-16-width-430lbs-minute](https://www.desertcart.us/products/63796804-sn70016-electric-corded-12amp-snow-shovel-16-width-430lbs-minute) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
