12 in. 60-Volt Battery Cordless Electric Snow Shovel (Bare Tool)

A couple years ago we moved into the Sierra foothills and for the first time in my life, I experienced snow at my home. It has been a bit of a learning process to figure out how to deal with clearing out the snow. We have about a ¼ mile of driveway so we have a snow plow for that but we still have walkways, stairs, and decks that need clearing. In the previous years, we used a standard snow shovel which works fine but it is serious work. We decided to try this Toro 12 in. 60-Volt Battery Cordless Electric Snow Shovel with 2.5 Ah Battery Plus Charger to see if it would make some of the hard labor a bit easier. When this electric snow shovel arrives, it requires some minor assembly but that was completed in under five minutes. It has a 60 volt battery that requires charging prior to use. Once it was assembled, my wife picked it up and felt that it was very heavy and she didn’t feel she would be using it. I explained to her that you rest it on the ground during use but she felt it was too heavy. Once the battery is charged, it is installed in the compartment on top and is covered with a plastic cover to keep water out. The snow shovel has two speeds which is controlled by a switch on the side of the handle. High speed can be used for high power and low speed is for when you need a bit more control possibly when going around obstacles. According to the product literature, on high speed, the snow shovel can throw snow up to 25 feet. Also according to the product literature, the snow shovel and handle snow up to six inches deep. For my purposes, six inches of snow is fine but obviously if you live in a heavier snow area, you might need a different machine. The “shovel” head consists of a rotating plastic plow that feels sturdy and I hope it holds up well over time. It’s only late October so I have not had any snow yet but when I do, I will definitely be putting this snow shovel to the test. It seems like a quality machine and will definitely be helpful for my Winters.

I wanted a small snow blower that was small enough to keep on my front porch. I found the Toro 12” 60-volt battery powered snow shovel to be the perfect choice. It does not take up much space. The charger can be wall mounted so I keep it behind the shovel ready to go. The battery slips into and out of both the charger and the shovel with ease and snaps securely. The shovel comes out of the box needing the two handle sections to be attached. There is a spring pin that needs to be pressed in while pushing the two sections of tube together. The spring pin aligns with a hole in the opposite section so it pops in when aligned correctly. Then the hand nut on the tube clamp needs to be tightened to completely secure the sections. Last is mounting the auxiliary handle, which has4 - allen head screws. Slip the charged battery into the holder on the shovel and it is ready to go. The unit has two speeds. The speed switch is located below the lockout / run triggers. The instruction book clearly explains all the steps to assemble and use the shovel. The until seems to be well made. The weight using my home scale was 20 lbs. It is easy to maneuver and use. I am very happy with the unit.

Much to love about this power shovel and I can clear even 8-10" of snow with almost zero effort. Battery lasts a long time and you might have your kids wanting to take over because it's so fun. HOWEVER, it only blows the snow forward, a limitation for many uses. If that works with your driveway, paths or sidewalk, this is a game changer! Disclosure: TORO sent me a Power Shovel to test out and review.

The Toro 60v cordless power shovel makes shoveling easy when using it in small driveways, decks, and patios. The power Curve Auger System can throw snow up to 25 feet and clears an area of up to 4 parked cars in 6 inches of snow. Toro is a well established brand and known to produce well made items. The shovel uses a 135 lithium +ion. This mighty power shovel is a great tool made by the legendary Toro.

This Snow Shovel is a great snow removal tool and it's cordless. I am anxious to use this version as I had great success with the electric model. This comes complete with 60 volt battery and charger. After a simple assembly and charging the battery you are ready to go. The battery slides right into place and removes by simply pushing the button and pulling. It has green LED lights to indicate the power level. The tool is well balanced and uses a easy grip safety switch. It spins at a good speed and slides along the floor without any scraping.

Used it in mn on the wet slushy snow it did the job fast and throw the snow 25 ft. Need a second battery to really get stuff done .

The shovel was super easy to put together and I appreciated that. It came with a battery charger a battery and of course the shovel itself. After charging I was able to use this well over an hour non stop. It threw the snow about 25 feet into the air and although I am s woman I was able to push it with one hand as it cleared the driveway. I am so thrilled with the high quality of this shovel I highly recommend it!

12V, 18V, 24V... 60-VOLT BATTERY!!!! YIKES!!! I was looking for an easier way to clear the walkway and deck from light to moderate snowfalls than by shoveling, and this power shovel is the way for me. Like other TORO products I've owned, this one seems ready to exceed expectations. The battery pack is much better engineered than others I've seen, and the charger is very easy to use. Recharges from nearly dead in about an hour. The power-shovel assembled quickly and easily, is nicely balanced, and is simple to use. The only (really, just one) downside is lack of wheels or skid-bars. There is a replaceable scraper blade on the bottom. Now I'm almost looking forward to winter.

TORO 60V Cordless Power Shovel I'm looking for help this winter with the snow in my driveway and sidewalk. I realize that this is not the time to use this TORO Cordless Power Shovel, but from the research I did, this little TORO says it can take up to 6 inches deep and 12 inches wide and could throw snow up to 25 feet. Our snow season usually starts in December and is from 2 inches to 6 inches per snow fall, as you see the Rotor is very aggressive and with the two speeds it should get the job done keeping my driveway and sidewalk clear. I'm in my late 70's and a snow shovel gets too heavy. I'm actually looking forward to trying out this TORO 60V Cordless Power Shove.

Received in October. Looking forward to a test run after snow arrives. Assembly was quick and easy. Four LEDs on battery indicate the charge level. Arrived 50% charged, the recommended level for prolonged storage. Motor is operational with no load, not yet tested with snow. Designed for light duty tasks: clearing up to 6” from a sidewalk, short driveway, patio, or deck where a snow blower is too heavy to lift. Weighs 20 lbs, but feels heavier when lifted from end of handle because of leverage. Operates at two speeds according to need for power or precise control. The auger is plastic, not steel. Seems solidly built, but plastic becomes brittle at low temperatures. Power shovel throws snow forward, not sideways. Clearing the driveway may be easier by working side to side according to wind direction. Lacks wheels; needs to be pushed forward through snow. The power switch is easily reached by either hand; squeeze two paddles together. Three (3) year full warranty on tool and battery. The tool, battery, and charger were made in China.
