Buying guide: choosing the best snow blower
Clearing width and snow depth
Widths run from 20 in to 24 in: the EGO 24 in clears the widest path, followed by the Westinghouse at 22 in, the EGO 21 in, and the VOLTASK and Steelite at 20 in. Stated snow depth runs from 8 in on both EGO models to 10 in on the VOLTASK, 12 in on the Steelite and 13 in on the Westinghouse.
Throw distance and capacity
The EGO 24 in throws up to 50 feet and the EGO 21 in up to 45 feet, while the other three each list 25 feet. Capacity is stated only for the Westinghouse at 840 lb per min and the Steelite at 850 lb per min. Driveway claims are stated only for the EGO models: up to an 18-car driveway on the 24 in and up to a 16-car driveway on the 21 in, each with 8 inches of snow on a single charge.
Battery or corded power
Four picks run on batteries and one runs on a cord. The EGO models run on 56V power with two 7.5Ah batteries each. The VOLTASK runs on 48V power from two 24V packs with a stated 30 min runtime, the only runtime figure stated here. The Steelite runs on 40V power from two 20V 4.0Ah batteries. The Westinghouse runs on 120V corded power at 15A, so it needs an outlet and never needs a battery charge.
Drive and handling
The EGO 24 in is self-propelled with forward and reverse directions, and the EGO 21 in is auger-propelled. The other three listings state no drive type. Listed weights are 22.9 pounds on the VOLTASK, 26 pounds on the Steelite, 34.6 pounds on the Westinghouse, 60 pounds on the EGO 21 in and 210 pounds on the EGO 24 in. Heated grips are stated only on the EGO 21 in, and a push-button start only on the EGO 24 in.
Safety and night clearing
The EGO 24 in spec table lists ETL or UL for weather resistance, and the VOLTASK spec table lists ETL, UL. The VOLTASK lists dual safety buttons and the Steelite lists dual safety features against accidental starts. For night clearing, the EGO 24 in lists four LEDs, the EGO 21 in two LED headlights, the VOLTASK dual LED lights, the Westinghouse dual LED headlights, and the Steelite LED lights.
Walk the area first and clear stones, sticks, wire and toys. Wear eye and hearing protection, long pants and sturdy closed footwear, mow across slopes with a walk-behind (not up and down), and never pull a running mower toward you. Keep kids and pets well away. Refuel only with the engine off and cool. See CPSC lawn mower safety. Read our Safety Disclaimer.
Matching It to Your Property
- For a long drive, the EGO 24 in lists up to an 18-car driveway and the EGO 21 in a 16-car driveway, each with 8 inches of snow on a single charge.
- For walks, patios and decks, the VOLTASK lists patios, decks, sidewalks and walkways, and the Steelite lists walkways and driveways.
- For a drive with outlet access, the corded Westinghouse runs on 120V power with no battery to charge.
- For storage, the Steelite lists 20 by 15 by 20 inches and the EGO 24 in lists 26 by 49 by 45 inches.

| Steelite 40V 20 in | 9.5 | 27 | 20 | 20 | 4 | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.
FAQ: mowing large lots
What is a snow blower?
A snow blower is a powered machine that clears snow from drives, walks and patios. An auger breaks up the snow and a chute directs it away from the path.
How does a snow blower work?
The auger breaks up snow and feeds it to the chute. The EGO 24 in adds a variable speed steel auger, directional chute control and self-propel forward and in reverse, while the EGO 21 in is auger-propelled.
How do I start a snow blower?
Starting method is stated only for the EGO 24 in, which lists a push-button start with no priming or pull cords.
Should I pick battery or corded power?
Battery power suits drives without outlet access: the EGO models run on 56V batteries, the VOLTASK on 48V and the Steelite on 40V. Corded power suits a drive with an outlet nearby: the Westinghouse runs on 120V power and needs no charging. Only the VOLTASK listing states a runtime figure, 30 minutes.
