Black Friday snow blower deals: This battery-powered snow shovel is 'easier on the back' — it's on sale on Amazon
For a limited time, Amazon shoppers can save $60 on this "awesome" battery-powered Greenworks snow shovel.
Canadians are no strangers to extreme weather conditions — and although it's been a record-breaking fall for warmth, winter is looking to "salvage its reputation" with a wallop of snow and ice this week. If you have the room and the budget for a snow blower, these are all great options.
However, if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on snow removal or have limited storage space, a battery-powered snow shovel is the next best thing. Backed by more than 1,000 five-star reviews, shoppers call the Greenworks Pro 80V 12" Cordless Snow Shovel a winter "game-changer" — and it's on sale during Amazon Canada's Black Friday deals.
Greenworks Pro 80V 12" Cordless Snow Shovel
This cordless snow shovel is best for snow depth up to six inches.
The details
The Greenworks battery-powered snow shovel has a powerful brushless motor to help rid your driveway of the white stuff. It offers a 12-inch shovelling width and a 6-inch clearing depth for heavy snowfalls. The unit can throw snow up to 25 feet away and weighs under 20 pounds. It can be used on sidewalks and driveways, your back deck, or any area you need to be cleared. The grab-and-go snow shovel doesn't require any pre-heating to get started and has a foldable build for compact storage.
'Tough little guy'
The Greenworks snow shovel has collected more than 2,000 reviews on Amazon and a four-star rating. Shoppers give the unit top marks for being easy to use and assemble and deem it a "useful" snow removal option.
The battery-powered shovel "saves a lot of time" and is "easier on the back" than traditional shovels, writes one shopper. It's "awesome."
"This is one great machine," echoes another. It's a "tough little guy" that can "do more than expected."
A third reviewer describes the shovel as "lightweight" and reports that it does a "way better job" than they expected. "This thing throws really well" and does a "good job on heavier snow," they write.
While the shovel has been dubbed a "game-changer" by some, others find it "heavy and bulky" and caution that it shoots "right in front of you," so you need to be careful not to blow snow onto your neighbour's property.
Verdict
If you're looking to reduce time spent shovelling snow this winter, the Greenworks Pro 80V 12" Cordless Snow Shovel might be for you. The battery-powered shovel has a powerful brushless motor to throw snow, saving your back from unnecessary pain and strain. Hundreds of Amazon reviewers have given the shovel their five-star seal of approval; however, some say it's quite bulky, something to keep in mind before heading to check-out.
