New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
Sometimes I think my father had kids just to help with chores around the house—my childhood was defined by an ever-growing list of responsibilities that seemed directly tied to my continued shelter and feeding. The one I hated the most? Shoveling snow. We lived on a corner lot with a driveway, and every time several feet of snow got dumped on us, my father, warm and cozy in his bathrobe, would roust my brother and me out of bed and cheerfully send us out to clear the endless sidewalks and a driveway that seemed to have increased in size overnight.
When I bought my house, I swore I’d never lift a shovel full of slushy snow ever again. I don’t have nearly as much sidewalk to clear, but I still love a snowblower—and recently I’ve fallen for electric blowers that run on batteries, because corded ones are a pain and I’d rather not have gas on hand all the time. So this Greenworks 80V electric snowblower is an easy buy—especially when it’s 43% off for Prime Day.
It’s pretty lightweight, which makes pushing it around easier than some of those gas-powered behemoths, and it has a solid half-hour runtime if you store the batteries indoors (and obviously, you can extend that by having multiple batteries). It’s powerful enough to chew through heavy snow and it throws it a good distance, so you’ll be surprised by how much snow you can clear in just one charge. The batteries charge up in about a half hour, too.
