The little electric snowshovel seemed like a very indulgent, silly purchase at the time.
It was not.
It takes a few more passes than a regular shovel, but there is no lifting, no back strain, no cardiac events.
Just gently pushing it along.
You do have to pay attention to the wind direction so you don't get a face full of snow, and my hand was kinda cramped from holding the power button, but those are non-problems.
