For many homeowners, snow is a season-long slog every year. Keeping your driveway and walkways clear is a job that simply must be done, and the right tool can make all the difference. While some people shy away from electric power tools, especially when it comes to tough jobs like snow blowing, DeWalt's 60-volt Maximum 21-Inch Cordless Electric Single Stage Snow Blower has garnered a reputation for being an electric snow blower to replace its gas-powered counterparts.

A single stage blower, the DeWalt electric model is 80% quieter than comparable single stage gas snow blowers. (Here's how to determine the best blower stage for you and your yard.) It's also 25% lighter, which makes it easier to handle. It boasts a 40-foot snow throw powered by two 60-volt FlexVolt batteries, which are compatible with many other DeWalt tools. DeWalt claims this blower can clear up to 16 parking spaces on a single charge. But what do real-life customers have to say about the blower? Turns out, a lot.

Out of 297 total reviews on Home Depot's website, 182 give the DeWalt electric snow blower a five-star rating. It has a four-star rating overall, with 72% of reviewers recommending the machine. Most buyers who were happy with their purchase say the blower is easy to maneuver, and they appreciate how lightweight it is. Many comment that it's just the right size for their small- to medium-sized driveways and gets the job done, even after a heavy snowstorm. Others note that the FlexVolt battery system makes it an easy purchase if you already have backup batteries for your other DeWalt tools. However, issues with the drive belt and some technical difficulties have left others less than satisfied with their purchase.

One of the most recent reviews came from someone who used the DeWalt electric snow blower in the aftermath of the January 2026 snowstorm. "We experienced about 17 inches of snow and this performed beautifully," they said. Another gave a glimpse at how the snow blower took to task on their property, saying theirs worked through 8 inches of "medium-weight" snow and 20-inch drifts across 500 feet of driveway on two pairs of FlexVolt batteries. "The machine needed to travel slowly through the drifts but chewed through all of it just fine," they said. 

The biggest problem with the DeWalt electric snow blower seems to be with the drive belt, according to customer reviews. Several say the drive belt broke after just one or two uses, and some report that finding the replacement parts they need is a difficult process. A few others reported issues with an undiagnosable red light error that renders the machine unusable, even after troubleshooting and following all the simple tips you can do to extend the life of your snow blower. "I easily have over $10,000 invested in DeWalt equipment. Unfortunately, this particular tool has been a huge disappointment," one reviewer, who experienced this red light of doom, said. 

Still other customers admit the blower's limitations while expressing their satisfaction with it. One buyer said that it provides "instant gratification vs. the logistics of gas" but advised customers not to buy if they deal with really wet or deep snow.
