The Snapper XD 82-Volt MAX cordless snow shovel is easy to store, and it’s also comfortable to use as it’s ergonomically designed. Anything that makes shoveling snow easier is a plus, right?
Snapper XD 82-Volt MAX: Performance
This model can be used on pretty much any surface, but as it’s one of the smaller models it’s really going to do a number on decked areas, patios or walkways rather than a mile-long driveway.
The run time is pretty good at 45 minutes, but if you need to keep going past that, you could always buy a second battery so you don’t have to worry about charging it halfway through the job.
Snapper XD 82-Volt MAX: User Reviews
At Home Depot the model scored highly on quality and ease of use, with value also coming in as a real plus point. Overall it scored 5 out of 5; the only complaint was a lack of features, but nothing specific. One user said he shovels stairs and entryways for 45 homes in Colorado, and what normally took him hours to complete, only takes two hours with the Snapper XD 12” 82-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Electric Snow Blower. He liked that the Snapper is well built and has a strong motor. Another user says he used the machine for the first time on 15 inches of snow and it worked ‘like magic’. He says it ‘saved his back’ even though it’s heavy.
Should you buy the Snapper XD 82-Volt MAX snow blower?
If you’ve got a lot of snow to shift and not much time in which to shift it, go right ahead.
