Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
The electric snow blower has a lightweight design and handles light to moderate snowfall effectively. The brushless motor and included batteries provide good runtime and power. However, some users report issues with the machine's performance in deeper or heavier snow, with clogging and difficulty clearing driveways. Durability concerns have also been raised, with a few units failing after one winter season. Overall, the snow blower is suitable for light to moderate snow removal needs but may struggle in heavy, wet, or deep snow.

If you live in Maryland you know our snowfall is unpredictable. This bad boy has lasted me through 3 winters now, from light fluffy snow to heavy snow covered in ice. As long as you keep the batteries charged, it keeps on going. Highly recommend.
No users manual
Just arrived but did not have a users manual included
Curbside pickup
In and out in less than ten minutes. The staff was extremely pleasant and friendly. Overall, great experience!
Worked fine until the scraper bar broke
I initially loved this snow blower, but it only lasted 2 seasons until the scraper bar broke. I've gone back and fourth a bunch with Lowe's and they don't have a replacement scraper bar available. Basically, I'll have to buy an entire new snowblower just because a $20 part broke.
Hi there, Stephen! Scraper Bars are often see normal wear and tear over time due to its function. We would be happy to assist you in locating a repla...

This machine works great . I have a 40x60 driveway and it cleaned the 8 inches of snow down to the blacktop and still had 1/2 battery life left would recommend spraying the paddles and discharge so snow doesn’t stick recommended this too my brother and my sister
Good for small jobs
Snow blower works pretty well, although after first use the hard rubber blade on one side was rubbing on the inside on the blower. This caused noise, vibration and a weird smell of burning plastic. I was able to trim down the rubber blade to eliminate the issue but annoying nonetheless. Overall, good for the money but may need to be a bit gentler with it due to all the plastic and rubber.
Hello there, Jeremy! Thank you for your review of the 21-Inch Single-Stage Snow Blower. We appreciate your feedback regarding the auger and the exper...

Kudos Kobalt.
I love this, it exceeded my expectations. I was a bit leary on the Battery powered stuff... But this delivered and did a great job. Kudos Kobalt.
Do not buy
I bought this in the Fall to prepare for this Winter because I have other tools that use the same batteries. While there is no problem with the battery or the charger, the unit itself is poorly constructed with cheap plastic that didn't perform well. We have not have large snowstorms with the average accumulation being only 3-4 inches! I had to work hard to push it back and forth and while it is lighter than my old gas machine it left snow on the ground and I ended up having to shovel! NOT BUY...
Hello there,
We appreciate you reviewing the Kobalt Snow Blower. We thank you for sharing your experience regarding the snow blowers performance...

Good! Could use SKID SHOES!
Light Weight, Powerful for only 40 volts. Good battery life! Hard to push due to no adjustable skid shoes! Which is why unfortunately we had to return it.
