Quick verdict
A 21-inch cordless single-stage snow blower that draws on two EGO ARC Lithium packs at once, with a steel auger, variable auger speed, adjustable skid shoes, LED headlights and IPX4 weather resistance, sold as a complete kit with two 4.0 Ah batteries and a 320W charger. It suits a two-car driveway and walks in a climate with regular storms up to about 8 inches. The caveat is that the included 4.0 Ah packs are the small ones, so coverage falls short of what larger EGO packs would give.
Strengths
- Complete kit: two 4.0 Ah packs and 320W charger included
- Steel 6-inch auger with variable speed control
- Adjustable skid shoes for gravel and uneven surfaces
- LED headlights and IPX4 weather-resistant build
- 180-degree chute adjustment
- Batteries run the rest of the EGO 56V range
Weaknesses
- Included 4.0 Ah packs limit coverage to about a 10-car driveway in 8 inches of snow
- 13-inch intake height, a single-stage limit in deep snow
- Not self-propelled; you push it
- Weight not stated in the listing

Who this snow blower is for
The single-stage cordless class has grown up. The EGO Power+ SNT2122 is a 21-inch machine with a steel auger, adjustable skid shoes and headlights, sold as a complete kit with two batteries and a charger, and it is aimed at the two-car driveway and sidewalk in a part of the country where storms of four to eight inches come several times a winter. It replaces a gas single-stage for the owner who is done with carburetors, and it is the natural first EGO tool for a household that may add a mower later.
This review is based on the maker’s published specifications and on recurring owner feedback. We have not run this product ourselves.
What you get
The kit includes the snow blower, two 4.0 Ah ARC Lithium batteries and a 320W charger. EGO lists a 21-inch clearing path, a 13-inch clearing height, a 6-inch steel auger with variable speed control, a 180-degree chute adjustment, adjustable skid shoes, LED headlights and IPX4 weather resistance. Peak Power draws from both packs at once. The maker quotes a throw of up to 42 feet and coverage of a 10-car driveway in 8 inches of snow on the included packs. Weight and noise are not stated.
Auger and throw distance
A steel auger on a single-stage is the first thing to notice, since most machines in this class use rubber paddles. Steel bites into packed and icy snow that paddles skate over, and the variable speed control lets you slow it for a light pass and run it flat out in the ridge. EGO’s 42-foot throw is the maximum in cold dry snow; in wet snow expect less, though still enough to clear a two-car width without blowing snow back onto cleared ground. The 13-inch clearing height is a single-stage number. Eight inches is the working depth; a foot is possible in half-width passes, and above that the machine is simply the wrong tool.
Runtime and batteries
Two 4.0 Ah packs are the smallest pair EGO sells into a snow blower, and the 10-car driveway rating reflects that. For a two-car driveway and a sidewalk it is adequate with margin; for a long drive or a wet storm, owners of EGO snow blowers typically plan on well under the rated figure and either own a second pair or bring the first pair indoors to warm before use. Any larger EGO pack from a mower or blower fits and extends the session, which is the strongest argument for the platform. The 320W charger refills the 4.0 Ah packs in a reasonable time between passes.
Handling, skid shoes and lights
Single-stage machines are pushed, not driven, and a steel-auger design does not pull itself along the way a rubber-paddle machine does when its paddles touch pavement. The trade is the skid shoes, which let the auger ride above gravel and uneven slabs, a real advantage for anyone with a gravel apron or a heaved sidewalk. The LED headlights are not a gimmick, since most clearing happens in the dark, and the IPX4 rating means sleet and slush do not worry the electronics. Weight is not stated; single-stage cordless machines are generally a one-person lift up a porch step.
Living with it
No fuel, oil or plugs. Store the batteries indoors above freezing and at a partial charge between storms, check the scraper bar and skid shoe height each season, keep the chute clear of packed snow, and rinse salt off in spring. Check EGO’s current warranty terms for the tool and the packs separately.
Alternatives to Consider
The EGO Power+ SNT2130 is the bare-tool sibling with heated grips and handle-mounted chute levers, the better buy if you already own two larger EGO packs. The Toro 60V Power Clear e21 is the main cordless single-stage rival for Toro owners. If storms regularly exceed a foot, the EGO SNT2405 two-stage is the step up on the same batteries.
Verdict
Buy the EGO Power+ SNT2122 kit if you are starting from no batteries, your driveway fits two cars, and your snow runs to about 8 inches a storm; it is a complete, well-built package with features the gas single-stage class never had. Skip it if you already own large EGO packs, where the bare-tool SNT2130 saves money, or if your storms are deep and wet enough to need a two-stage.

EGO Power+ SNT2122 21-Inch Single-Stage Cordless Snow Blower with Two 4.0 Ah Batteries and 320W Charger FAQs
EGO rates the pair of 4.0 Ah packs for about a 10-car driveway in 8 inches of snow. Wet or deeper snow cuts that; if you own larger EGO packs from a mower, they fit and extend the session.
EGO fits adjustable skid shoes, which is unusual on a single-stage. Raise them so the steel auger rides above the gravel and it will clear without throwing stones, at the cost of leaving a thin layer behind.
No. Like all single-stage machines it is pushed. Steel-auger single-stage blowers typically do not pull themselves forward the way rubber-paddle designs do, so expect to supply the forward effort on a long driveway.
The 13-inch clearing height is the physical limit and about 8 inches is the comfortable working depth on the rated runtime. Beyond that, take half-width passes or move up to a two-stage.
