How It Works
How It Works
- Slide your Makita 18V battery into the handle slot — no charger purchase needed
- Press the green start button — brushless motor spins the reinforced auger to speed in under 1 second
- Push at walking pace — the auger bites into 5–15 cm of snow and feeds a high-speed impeller
- The impeller flings snow 20 feet forward, clear of the path you just cleared
- Detach the aluminum pipe to stow in a 24-inch closet shelf

What Makes NorthSweep the Snow Shovel That Never Clogs
Auger + Impeller Anti-Clog Design
Reinforced auger bites snow, feeds a high-speed impeller that flings it clear. Built to resist the clogging that kills cheap paddle shovels.
Makita 18V Battery Slot
Drops in any BL1860B, BL1850B, or BL1840B pack. Runs 30–45 minutes per charge, enough for a full walkway plus small driveway.
7.55 lb Aluminum Frame
Under the 10-lb threshold cardiologists cite for safe winter exertion. Aluminum handle detaches for a 24x12x8 inch storage footprint.
20-ft Forward Snow Throw
Snow lands six meters off the cleared surface, not at your feet. No re-shoveling, no piling at the walk edge for the city plow to push back.
What our 17,000+ Customers say
Based On Real and Honest Experiences
I used to dread December, and after my heart event in 2024 my wife banned the steel shovel entirely. NorthSweep changed how I get through winter — I do my own walkway in 22 minutes and my chest doesn't pound.
I bought NorthSweep specifically for the back deck and the four porch steps where my Toro snowblower can't fit. The 30 cm head clears the deck rail to rail in three passes. Now the big machine handles the driveway, this handles everything else.
I expected another $150 piece of plastic that would die in week three. Six storms in and NorthSweep still pushes powder like day one. The fact it runs my existing Makita batteries was the surprise — no second charger cluttering the bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
How difficult is the first-time setup?
How difficult is the first-time setup?
Slot the aluminum pipe into the motor housing (one bolt, hand-tight), drop in your Makita 18V battery, press the green start button. First clearing pass in under 3 minutes from the box. No app pairing, no firmware, no extra charger to plug in.
Will it run if I do not own a Makita battery yet?
Will it run if I do not own a Makita battery yet?
NorthSweep is tool-only — no battery or charger included. If you do not yet own a Makita 18V battery, the BL1840B 4.0Ah and DC18RC charger run about $80 at most US hardware stores. Still cheaper than locked competitor kits.
How does it perform on heavy wet snow?
How does it perform on heavy wet snow?
Honestly: it is built for the 5–15 cm dustings, not the 18-inch nor'easter. On wet packing snow you will work in 5 cm layers and the battery will deplete 30–50% faster. For dry powder under 6 inches, it clears at walking pace without slowing.
What is the actual battery runtime in the cold?
What is the actual battery runtime in the cold?
On a BL1860B 6.0Ah at 25 to 35 °F, plan on 30 to 45 minutes of continuous run on light-to-moderate snow. Cold snaps below 20 °F and wet packing snow both shorten that window, so keep a spare battery charging.
How loud is it compared to a gas snowblower?
How loud is it compared to a gas snowblower?
60–70 dB at the operator's ear. A gas snowblower runs 90–100 dB. That puts NorthSweep below the noise of a vacuum cleaner — neighbor-acceptable at 6 AM in most US municipalities, and nobody slamming a window shut on the second floor.
Will this be too heavy for my elderly parent to use?
Will this be too heavy for my elderly parent to use?
NorthSweep is 7.55 lb, under the weight reviewers flag as tiring for older users. The side handle adjusts for shorter reach, and you push at walking pace instead of lifting — the part that wears out aging backs.
Is this a real replacement for a full snow blower?
Is this a real replacement for a full snow blower?
No, and it isn't built to be one. Full 2-stage blowers handle deep driveway piles; NorthSweep is the Goldilocks tool for walkways, decks, and steps in 5–15 cm of snow, without the 30–100 lb bulk or garage space a blower demands.
I had an angioplasty last year — is this safe for me to use?
I had an angioplasty last year — is this safe for me to use?
NorthSweep removes the lifting motion that drives shoveling cardiac events — you push at walking pace and the motor does the work. That said, always check with your cardiologist before any winter tool use.
