While fresh snowfall can be a beautiful sight, it can quickly turn into a hassle when it blocks pathways and buries your car. Clearing it with an old-fashioned snow shovel can be a grueling, time-consuming task. That’s why our editors recommend upgrading to an electric snow shovel. Luckily, this Greenworks 80-Volt 12-Inch Brushless Snow Shovel is 32 percent off at Amazon.

Similar to a snowblower, an electric snow shovel comes in a lighter, more mobile form factor. But it still offers the power to clear sidewalks and patios faster than your grandpa’s shovel. This editor-favorite electric model from Greenworks has a powerful brushless motor and can throw fresh snow up to 20 feet. It also features a 12-inch clearing width and 8-inch clearing depth, which is a good size for clearing sidewalks, patios, steps, and decks.
Best of all, Greenworks’ electric snow shovel comes with an 80-volt, 2.0 amp-hour battery (and charger) that offers about 45 minutes of run time on a single charge. That’s enough to (un)cover a lot of ground around your home after a light snowfall. There is a lock-out button that prevents users from accidentally starting the machine. It also offers an adjustable handle that makes the snow shovel easier to control. Best yet, it can be folded in half for easy storage during the offseason.
While the Greenworks electric snow shovel is easier to manage than a snowblower, the model on sale still has a notable heft. At 19.2 pounds with the battery equipped, it’s heavier than our other top picks, so moving it around for 30 minutes or longer can turn into a real workout. Still, its ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue over extended periods of use.
Other benefits of an electric snow shovel include quiet operation and freedom from cords. You can wake up early to clear your driveway while keeping the peace in your neighborhood. As with other Greenworks products, the snow shovel’s 80-volt battery is compatible with other power tools in the brand’s portfolio, including chainsaws, leaf blowers, and lawnmowers.
