The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the EGO 12-inch SNS1201 snow shovel earns warm reviews for tight paths, steps and walkways from owners already in the EGO ecosystem. It holds a 4.3-star average across 158 Amazon ratings, and r/egopowerplus threads are notably enthusiastic — owners describe it as 'an absolute workhorse' that cleared 6+ inches across walking paths and a driveway 'in under an hour,' with the battery tucked into the handle keeping it well balanced. An unknown-trust forbes.com first-look praised the no-gas, no-noise convenience.
What reviewers liked
- 4.3-star average with consistently positive r/egopowerplus owner reports
- Handle-mounted battery keeps it well balanced for one-handed use
- Owners report clearing 6+ inches across paths in under an hour
- 60-degree directional chute control praised for placement
Where it falls short
- Included 2.5Ah battery is modest; bigger packs cost extra
- No high-trust independent testing in the signals
- Smaller review base than the snow-shovel competition
- Like all electric models, wet heavy snow is its weak point

The caveats reviewers raise are practical rather than damning. The same r/egopowerplus threads note the included 2.5Ah battery is modest — owners who stepped up to a 7.5Ah pack reported far longer sessions — and that EGO batteries and chargers are a pricey investment. We found no high-trust independent lab test for this exact kit in the signals, so the verdict rests on a strong but smaller owner base. For light-to-moderate snow on smaller surfaces it's a well-liked, low-effort tool.
- Kit includes the cordless snow shovel, 2.5Ah battery, and 210W charger
- Throws snow up to 25 feet with 60-degree directional control dial
- Clears up to a 3-car driveway with 6 inches of snow with the included 2.5Ah ARC Lithium battery
- Hinged shaft for convenient, compact storage
- High-efficiency brushless motor delivers long run times, low vibrations, and an extended motor life
Throws snow surprisingly well and so much better than shoveling manually. Battery goes in the handle. Weight wise it's not bad.
Just hold it by my side and walk kinda slowly and it does the work. A single 7.5 Ah battery lasted over an hour and cleared over 1/2 of my ...
