WORX 40 VOLT 20 INCH SNOW BLOWER SHEDS HASSLES OF AGING GAS AND CORDED ELECTRIC MODELS
The WORX 40V Power Share 20 in. Snow Blower eliminates the need for gas and oil, spark plugs and costly tune-ups. Plus, unlike its corded electric counterparts, there’s no need for expensive outdoor-rated 50 ft. or 100 ft. extension cords.
For new homeowners or those replacing an existing snow blower, consider cordless. There are no hard starts to contend with or fumes rising into the atmosphere. And with a cordless snow blower, unlike a corded electric machine, there’s no constant maneuvering around the extension cord so it doesn’t get eaten by the auger.
Also, hard startups are eliminated, especially after periods of extended storage where carburetor and/or engine issues can occur from infrequent use. Startups are easy with the WORX 40V Snow Blower. Press and hold the lock-off button and then squeeze the bail handle and it’s ready to go. To stop the machine, release the bail handle and it stops instantly.
WORX combines two 20V, 4.0 Ah Max Lithium batteries to deliver 40V of power. The batteries drive the snow blower’s high-efficiency brushless motor, which generates more power to extend run time and battery life. In fact, the brushless motor runs 50 percent longer, provides 25 percent more power and is maintenance-free, compared to traditional brushed motors. The single stage snow blower’s brushless motor has a no-load speed of 2300 rpm.
The WORX snow blower is capable of launching dry snow a distance of 20 ft. The snow blower’s maximum depth capacity is 10 in. The snow blower’s auger is 20 in. wide and 10 in. high to churn up and lift snow from its path. The discharge chute’s rotation handle enables the user to rotate the chute 180° to the desired snow removal direction.
The 41.9 lb. snow blower features a fully-collapsible handle and a convenient built-in carrying handle for easy storage or transport. The machine’s 8 in. wheels provide traction and mobility. Dual LED lights provide visibility at dusk and at nighttime operation. The LEDs lights power on once the snow blower is powered on and the bail handle is squeezed.
The two WORX 20V, 4.0 Ah Max Lithium batteries are located in a sealed compartment. An onboard charge-level indicator shows how much power remains before both batteries need recharging. A 4-amp dual-port battery charger is included, and takes 2 hours to bring both batteries to a full charge. Run time varies based on snow removal conditions. The WORX 20V 4.0 Ah batteries are compatible with more than 75 other WORX lawn and garden, DIY tools and lifestyle products for cost-savings and convenience.
Always remove the batteries first, before dislodging clogged snow from the auger or discharge chute. Frigid temperatures can affect battery performance, so when not in use, keep the batteries inside where temperatures won’t dip below 32°F.
Ideal conditions for the cordless snow blower are freshly fallen, dry fluffy snow. For wet snow and heavy snow fall conditions, remove snow in intervals to avoid motor strain. Also, when positioning the discharge chute, note the wind’s direction so the snow isn’t thrown back in the direction of the operator or path being cleared.
