Two value cordless kits. The Greenworks is four inches wider, has far more battery (two 5Ah at 60V vs two 4Ah at 24V), and a brushless motor — a genuine driveway tool. The Snow Joe is a sidewalk-and-pad machine at roughly half the price. Buy by the job: driveway, Greenworks; walk and stoop, Snow Joe.
