Is it this time of the year again? There are tools on the market that can help make snow shoveling a whole lot easier (and fun). A good electric snow shovel can make easy work of this daily task, and even help you clear some smaller, harder to reach places. Below you will find our top 10 picks for a reliable power shovel.
While this takes care of your driveway, we recommend using a snow roof rake to remove snow its weight from your roof. This is important because exessive amounts of snow can cause a lot of damage to a roof, particularly when it starts thawing.

The Snow Joe iON13SS is a great option for heavy snowfalls. This cordless electric model comes with a carry case and can clear thirteen inches wide and six deep. It is great for clearing everything from patios to roof edges.
The lack of a cord might mean that you have to stop to recharge the Snow Joe in the middle of clearing the snow, but it also means that you never have to worry about straying too far from a power outlet. Even if the Snow Joe iON13SS does not quite last you the full amount of time you need to clear all the snow you want gone, it does give you an excellent excuse to step out of the cold and warm up while it recharges. This electric shovel also comes with a two-year warranty that can help you to take care of any issues you might run into with it.

You can angle the chute in three different directions, and the wheels on the model mean you do not have to worry about doing too much heavy lifting during your winter chore list.

This model throws the snow the normal twenty feet away for good clearance.
While this is a corded model, the cord is suitably lengthy so you can get a fair amount of distance from the power outlet. However, it does weigh 23 pounds, which is a sizable amount but more than fair for a machine that is intended for heavy-duty use.
