The bottom line
The EGO Power+ 12" Electric Snow Shovel (B0DLQHWY77) is our top pick for its powerful motor and ability to clear large areas quickly. It throws snow up to 25 feet and can clear a 3-car driveway with 6 inches of snow on a single charge. However, it is heavy and can get clogged with heavy snow. The True Temper Poly Snow Shovel (B008DNA57O) is our budget pick for its ergonomic design, lightweight construction, and high customer satisfaction. It is well-suited for those with physical limitations and is priced at $34.99. The Snow Joe Snow Shovel with 18-Inch Blade and Assist Handle (B07822JP3G) is a close runner-up for its durable blade and ergonomic handle, but it is slightly more expensive at $39.97.
