PowerSmart Electric Snow Blowers: Corded or 40V Cordless
As Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click through and make a purchase.
PowerSmart makes outdoor power equipment for homeowners, and its snow blower range covers every power type in one catalog: a plug-in corded model, two 40V battery machines and two gas-powered two-stage units. For anyone who values easy storage in a small garage or shed, the brand’s electric models are the headline, since they skip gas cans, oil changes and pull cords.
These five PowerSmart snow blowers differ mainly in power source and scale: the corded and cordless 21-inch models are lighter and suited to decks, walks and short driveways, while the 24-inch and 26-inch gas two-stage machines weigh well over 100 pounds and handle deep, heavy snow.

PowerSmart 21 Inch Corded Electric Snow Blower for Easy Storage
4.5 Amazon buyer average
Best for: Light storage and unlimited runtime
What the listing says
- POWERFUL MOTOR Upgraded 15-amp high-torque motor clears snow at up to 1020 lb/min and throws it up to 30 ft.
- LIGHTWEIGHT The snow thrower features a push-button start for easy maneuverability, allowing effortless operation in tight or curved spaces.
- WIDE APPLICATION Ideal for patios, decks, sidewalks, driveways, steps, entryways, and other residential or commercial areas.
- MULTI-FUNCTIONAL Features an LED light, adjustable 180° chute, and a reinforced auger for continuous snow removal.
- SAFE CORDED SNOW BLOWER Equipped with overload protection, ensuring safe use.
Pros
- Lightest here at 41.7 pounds
- 15-amp motor, 30 ft throw
- 180° chute and LED light
- Overload protection
Cons
- Needs an extension cord
- Best for shallow snow
The PowerSmart 21 Inch Corded Electric Snow Blower is the lightest machine in this group at 41.7 pounds. A 15-amp high-torque motor clears up to 1020 pounds of snow per minute and throws it up to 30 feet through a 21-inch clearing width. It runs on standard 120-volt household power with push-button start, so there is no battery to charge and no fuel to store.
The listing names an LED light for early-morning clearing, an adjustable 180° chute, a reinforced auger and overload protection. The specifications give an ideal snow depth of 15 centimeters, about 6 inches, which places it firmly in the light-snow category. It measures 38 x 20.8 x 37.8 inches. As with any corded machine, you will need a suitable outdoor extension cord and should keep the cord out of standing water, as the listing warns.
This model suits townhouses, cabins and homes with patios, steps and short driveways near an outlet. Its main advantage over the battery models is unlimited runtime; its drawback is the cord. If the area you clear is far from power, the 40V models are the better fit.

Pros
- 2400 lbs/min capacity
- 50 ft throw
- Electric and recoil start
- Hand warmers, 6F/2R speeds
Cons
- 187 pounds
- Needs gas and engine care
The PowerSmart 24-Inch Gas Snow Blower is a self-propelled two-stage machine with a 212cc engine, a 24-inch clearing width and a 21-inch clearing height. It moves up to 2400 pounds of snow per minute and throws it up to 50 feet, the longest distance in this lineup. A heavy-duty steel auger and impeller are listed for fluffy, heavy or wet snow.
A 120V electric start fires it up at the push of a button, with a recoil start as backup that PowerSmart says works down to -20°F. It has six forward and two reverse speeds, hand warmers, an LED light, 13-inch snow tires and adjustable skid shoes for paved or gravel surfaces. It weighs 187 pounds. Note that one feature heading calls it a cordless snow blower, which only means it does not need a cord to run; it is gas powered. The listing also gives two different sets of dimensions, so measure your storage space generously.
Choose it for long driveways and regions with frequent deep storms. It is the least compact machine here, so it gives way to the electric models for anyone with limited storage or only light snowfall.

Pros
- 26-inch clearing width
- 2700 lbs/min capacity
- Steel housing and chute
- Handle warmer
Cons
- 145 pounds
- Throw distance differs within listing
The PowerSmart 26-Inch Self Propelled Two-Stage Snow Blower has the widest clearing path here at 26 inches, with a 20-inch intake height. A 208cc 950 Snow Series engine with electric start delivers 2700 pounds per minute of snow-moving capacity, the highest figure in the lineup. The self-propelled drive offers variable speed control in forward and reverse.
Steel construction is listed for the housing, frame, deflector and chute, along with an all-steel auger, a high-speed steel impeller, 13-inch snow terrain tires, one-hand 180° chute control, adjustable steel skid shoes and a handle warmer. It weighs 145 pounds. The listing contradicts itself on two points: features say it throws snow 45 feet while the specs say 40 feet, and features say it is ideal for 1 to 12 inches of snow while the specs say 12 centimeters. Plan around the more conservative numbers.
It suits homeowners with wide driveways who want to finish in fewer passes. It is lighter than the 24-inch gas model but still far heavier than the electric options.

Pros
- No cord, gas or fumes
- Brushless motor
- Forward and reverse
- Battery and charger included
Cons
- About 20 minutes runtime
- Listing data partly conflicts
The PowerSmart 40V Cordless Snow Blower runs on an included 40V 4.0Ah battery and charger, giving about 20 minutes of runtime. It has a 21-inch clearing width, handles snow up to 6 inches deep and throws it up to 30 feet. A brushless motor keeps noise down, and built-in LED headlights help in low light.
Operation is simple: quick assembly, one-button start, forward and reverse directions and one-handed control. PowerSmart lists 24-hour online support. The listed dimensions are 19 x 17 x 18 inches, which looks too small for a 21-inch machine, and the item type field describes a 26-inch gas snow blower, so parts of the data are clearly mixed up. The listing also claims it handles a 12-car driveway; with about 20 minutes per charge, that seems optimistic for anything beyond light, fluffy snow, and the weight is not specified.
It suits decks, garden paths, garage aprons and short driveways where you want no cord and no fumes. If you need a longer run per charge, the HB2421A lists 20 to 30 minutes.

- Snow depth figures conflict
The PowerSmart 40V MAX Cordless Snow Blower, model HB2421A, pairs a high-performance brushless motor with a 21-inch clearing width. It comes with a 40V 4.0Ah battery and charger rated for 20 to 30 minutes of clearing per charge and throws snow up to 30 feet.
A control bar changes the 180° chute direction quickly, a rubber-steel auger is listed for better cleaning and a longer life, and dual LED headlights improve visibility. It starts with a push button. Features give a clearing depth of up to 6 inches, while the specifications say 12.5 inches; the smaller number is the realistic one for a battery single-stage machine. It weighs 54.9 pounds, heavier than the corded model, and measures 37 x 41 x 20.8 inches.
It suits walkways, decks and patios where dragging a cord is awkward. For truly lightweight handling and unlimited runtime, the corded 21-inch model is lighter; for deeper snow, the gas models take over.
Before you choose
How to Choose the Right PowerSmart Snow Blower
Start with power source. The corded 21-inch model is the lightest and never runs out of charge but needs an outlet nearby. The two 40V models trade the cord for about 20 to 30 minutes per battery. The gas models need fuel and maintenance but run as long as the tank lasts.
Match the machine to your usual snowfall. The corded and 40V models list roughly 6 inches as their comfortable depth, which covers most light storms. For heavy, wet or deep snow, the 24-inch and 26-inch two-stage gas machines are built for it.
Consider storage and handling. At 41.7 and 54.9 pounds, the electric models fit in a small shed and can be lifted onto a deck. The gas models at 145 and 187 pounds need garage space and self-propelled drive to move. For steps and tight corners where even a small blower is awkward, a powered snow shovel can fill the gap.
Think about area size. Short driveways, decks and walks suit the electric models, while long or wide driveways favor the 26-inch model’s wide pass or the 24-inch model’s 50-foot throw. Our broader PowerSmart snow blower overview covers more of the range.
