Sometimes I think my father had children just to help with household chores. My childhood was defined by an ever-growing list of responsibilities that seemed directly tied to my housing and diet. The one I hated the most? Shovel the snow. We lived on a corner with a driveway, and every time several feet of snow fell on us, my father, snug in his bathrobe, would pull my brother and me out of bed and happily send us off to clear the endless sidewalks and a driveway that seemed to have grown overnight.

When I bought my house, I vowed to never lift a shovel full of slush again. I don’t have as many sidewalks to clean, but I still like snow blowers – and recently I’ve fallen in love with electric snow blowers that run on batteries, because the corded ones are a pain and I’d rather not have gas on hand all the time. So this Greenworks 80V electric snow blower is an easy buy, especially when it’s 43% off for Prime Day.

It’s quite lightweight, which makes it easier to move around than some of these gas-powered giants, and it has a good half-hour battery life if you store the batteries indoors (and obviously you can extend that time by having multiple batteries). It is powerful enough to chew through deep snow and throws it a good distance. So you’ll be surprised how much snow you can clear in a single charge. The batteries also recharge in about half an hour.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart and Best Buy offer competitive Prime Day sales that are especially helpful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.
