What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Worx WG460 is the most prominently covered single-stage electric snow shovel in the pool after the Earthwise. A tomsguide.com hands-on (medium-trust) describes it as weighing just over 17 pounds, throwing snow up to 25 feet, and handling up to 6-inch depths on a 2–4 car driveway. A high-trust Best Buy verified-purchase aggregate summarizes customer sentiment as 88% positive, praising power, battery life, and ease of use while flagging weight and heavy-snow performance as the main complaints.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust Best Buy verified-purchase aggregate (88% positive) supports the build and performance
- Ships as a complete kit with two 40V 4.0Ah batteries and charger
- tomsguide.com hands-on confirms ~17 lb weight and 25 ft throw distance
- Brushless motor and 2-speed control give finer driveway-vs-deck adjustment
Where it falls short
- High-trust r/Tools owners report it struggles in heavy snow
- Throw is essentially fixed in front of the user — r/Buffalo notes wind blowback
- Best Buy aggregate flags weight as a recurring complaint
- 4.1 Amazon average across 246 ratings is below the EGO 56V units

Specialist communities echo that split. A high-trust r/Tools thread notes electric snow shovels in this class "don't like heavy snow" and limit you to throwing snow directly in front, and r/Buffalo owners say wind can blow snow right back at you. Reviewers broadly agree the WG460 is a strong pick for short paved driveways, walkways, and decks — particularly for buyers who want something lighter and more maneuverable than a full snow blower — but it's not a replacement for a two-stage in heavy-snow regions.

I have one. They are just ok. Don't like heavy snow and you are limited to mostly throwing snow directly in front of yourself. If that is close ...
I have almost 80 feet of sidewalk and a two car drive way. I hope the batteries should last to clear a decent amount of snow in one charge.
