If you find yourself needing a middle-ground solution, we recommend giving EGO’s snow shovel attachment a try. With the added weight to take into consideration, it does outperform similar tools from competing brands. EGO holds up its reputation for putting out quality products and fits into that sweet spot between where your smaller clearing tools aren’t enough and a full-size blower may be too much.

The Bottom LineĪll things considered, the EGO Multi-Head snow shovel attachment made quick work of several chores that would have taken significantly more time using manual methods. Note: EGO attachments are not compatible with other attachment systems. The powerhead and the attachment both carry a 5-year warranty. If you need the whole Multi-Head system along with it, you can find it as a kit with the powerhead, 4.0Ah battery, and charger for $399. The snow shovel attachment retails for $189. EGO Multi-Head Snow Shovel Attachment Price EGO offers a shoulder strap, which we highly recommend if you’re planning on using this attachment as your primary snow-clearing tool. However, having to pick up the unit every time this happened can lead to some serious back strain, which can be quite a workout by the time you’re done. This shovel’s weight does help keep the auger in the snow and get down to the pavement, but without wheels, it can be easy for the auger to get caught on cement breaks or sidewalk transitions and come to a rough stop. A few pounds may not seem like much, all things considered, but most of that weight comes from the snow shovel itself, which is 12.8 pounds. For reference, Ryobi and Hart’s models weigh in at 17 pounds and 18.4 pounds, respectively. The entire system (the Powerhead, a 4.0Ah battery, and the shovel attachment) clocks in at 22.8 pounds. Since this snow shovel has so many physical features like the plastic auger and guiding fins, it does way more than the competition. EGO Multi-Head Snow Shovel Attachment Design Notes Changing Directions It also cleared our sidewalks, patio, and deck before running out of juice, which we would consider a win. We used it in 5 inches of snow and ice and it was able to clear our entire 4-car driveway with battery to spare, and no distinct loss of power.

Usually, with portable snow-clearing solutions, you’ll see compromises in terms of how much area you can clear on a charge.

Pro Tip: For clearing heavy snow, the snow shovel is easier to push when bracing the battery against your body and pushing forward with your legs rather than relying on your arms and back to do the work. You’ll be able to see the difference in energy used, which is something you’ll experience with any attachment system snow shovel. By nature, a single-stage unit supports the weight of just the unit, rather than the user. When compared to a snowblower like the Snow Joe iON 40V single-paddle blower, EGO’s snow shovel attachment actually keeps up in terms of power. It’s still doable with this attachment, but it is more difficult than if you were to use a single-stage or two-stage snowblower. However, clearing 5 to 6 inches of heavy snow and ice can present a challenge. It does great clearing 2 to 3 inches of dry, powdery snow from a flat surface like a driveway or patio. It’s important to know what to expect regarding performance before going in.
