Winter weather is hitting much of the nation pretty hard right now, and if you’re dreading clearing snow from your driveway or sidewalk, we don’t blame you. But we do have a solution to make it much easier on yourself. Costco is selling a cordless electric snow shovel that cuts through inches of snow, propelling it out of the way with little effort.

The Greenworks 80V Brushless Cordless Snow Shovel handles wet, end-of-driveway slush and soft powder with equal power. You push it through the snow like a hand mower, and the powerful snow throw clears it out of the way instantly. It’s ideal for up to six inches of snow and can cover a width of 12 inches at a time, so it’s perfect for places that get moderate amounts of snow. Simply charge the battery indoors, reload it, and head outside.

Why should you get one now? We finally have the technology to prevent hours of manually shoveling heavy snow, and it’ll cut your time standing out in the frigid temperatures in half. For your reference, it can clear a four-car driveway at a single charge. The electric snow shovel only weighs about 15 pounds, so it’s lightweight enough to maneuver through the snow. Plus, it can push the snow up to 25 feet away, so it’s out of sight, out of mind. It has a foldable body for off-season storage so it can tuck into compact spaces.

This shovel takes one of the most difficult winter chores and slashes the time in half. Last year, it sold out in days during a major winter storm, so we recommend grabbing one ASAP. Great news for the folks without a Costco membership, not only is it also sold on Amazon,but it’s also $65 cheaper and it’ll show up on your doorstep in two days with Prime shipping. Put away the old shovel this year and upgrade to this one to save yourself the back pain when you're clearing the way. You'll thank yourself later.
