How they differ in real use
Built from our battery snow blowers for small driveways scoring, each product's published specifications, and verified owner feedback — not hands-on testing.
Both the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower and the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower made our Top 5 Battery Snow Blowers for Small Driveways, at #3 (best budget) and #5. The least expensive complete kit here, with two 24V 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port charger that refills both in about 1.8 hours. Against the Snow Joe 24V-X2-SB18-XR it shares the 18 x 10-inch path, 1,200W brushless motor and rubber-tipped steel auger, and its packs even fit Snow Joe tools, but it throws up to 25 ft instead of 20 ft at a lower price. It ranks below the SENIX because an 18-inch path means more passes, Westinghouse rates a charge at only about 15 minutes in 7 inches of snow, and it does not publish the machine's weight. The most owner-reviewed machine here, with more than 4,000 Amazon ratings, a 20-inch path and a light 33 lb build, and a good buy for anyone who already owns Greenworks 80V batteries. As a complete kit it lands last: it ships with a single 2.0Ah battery, the smallest in this list, so it runs out well before the two-battery Snow Joe and Westinghouse kits on a full driveway, its listed throw of about 20 to 22 ft is among the shortest, and Greenworks does not list a steel auger. It also costs more than the SENIX, which clears a wider path with a steel auger and two batteries.
We score battery snow blowers for small driveways on Clearing Power (25%), Battery Kit & Runtime (20%), Auger & Build (15%), Handling & Storage (15%), Battery Ecosystem (10%) and Value (15%). On that basis the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower totals 7.6 out of 10 and the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower 7.2. The widest gap is Battery Kit & Runtime, where the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower scores 7.4 against 6 for the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower: number and capacity of the batteries included in the box, charger speed, and the manufacturer's rated runtime per charge. Value also separates them: 8.8 for the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus 7 for the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower. The Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower claws back ground on Battery Ecosystem, Clearing Power and Handling & Storage.
On paper, the specifications that actually differ: Clearing Width: 18 in on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus 20 in on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower; Clearing Depth: 10 in on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus Up to 10 in on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower; Throw Distance: Up to 25 ft (Westinghouse) on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus Up to 20–22 ft (Greenworks US / Amazon listing) on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower; Battery Platform: 48V via 2 x 24V packs (Snow Joe 24V compatible) on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus Greenworks 80V on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower; Batteries Included: 2 x 24V 4.0Ah + 2.2A dual-port charger (about 1.8 h) on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus 1 x 80V 2.0Ah + charger on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower; Auger: Rubber-tipped steel on the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower versus Not listed as steel by Greenworks on the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower.
Check current pricing at the merchant links below. Owners praise the Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower for the lowest price for a complete battery kit in this list and up to 25 ft throw, farther than the Snow Joe at the same 18 in width; the most common complaint is 18 in path means more passes on a full two-car driveway. Owners praise the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower for over 4,000 Amazon ratings: the longest ownership track record here and 20 in path, wider than the 18 in Snow Joe and Westinghouse; the most common complaint is ships with a single 2.0Ah battery, the smallest kit here, so runtime is short without a larger pack.

Which should you buy?
The Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower is the better fit for short driveways, walkways, porches and decks and buyers on a tight budget who still want two batteries in the box; it is the higher-scoring pick here, chiefly for Battery Kit & Runtime and Value. The Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower is the better fit for owners of Greenworks 80V batteries and tools and short driveways, walks and patios after light snowfall, and the stronger choice if Battery Ecosystem and Clearing Power matter more to you than the overall score. The Westinghouse WSnow18 48V Cordless Snow Blower is a poor fit for long or wide driveways where 18 in passes add up; the Greenworks 80V 20" Brushless Cordless Snow Blower is a poor fit for anyone without spare Greenworks 80V batteries who needs to clear a full driveway on one charge.
