Why we love this deal

The snow’s certainly coming down in my neck of the woods this time of year, and if you’re anything like me, you don’t want to trudge through that stuff to run an errand or go driving around in it. But sometimes life insists on a trip out into the winter wonderland, which means you need a clear sidewalk, a safe path to the car, and a relatively navigable driveway. If anecdotes about “heart-attack snow” and the like are enough to make you think twice about reaching for an old-school manual shovel, having a good, reliable snow blower, electric shovel, or snow thrower might put your mind at ease and help you get the chore done a lot more quickly.

If a new snowblower or shovel is on your holiday shopping list this year, you might make the winter a lot more tolerable by snagging the bestselling Litheli Cordless Snow Shovel from Walmart. Normally priced at $220, you can take home this handy little tool for only $97 right now. That’s a savings of $123 — and it’s got loads of glowing five-star ratings and reviews.

Why do shoppers love it?

Shoppers love this Litheli Cordless Shovel for a number of great reasons, starting with all the money you save in the long run when you make the switch from gas-powered to battery-powered tools. I made the switch to a cordless electric mower about five years back, and it’s so worth it to ditch gasoline for a rechargeable battery you can take out and stick in any other power tool from the same powerful, eco-friendly line-up (Litheli 20V, in this case). It’s lightweight, so it’s easy to push and maneuver through and around the snow, and it gets about 20 to 30 minutes of solid runtime on a full charge.

“This is an excellent tool for moving dry snow,” said one reviewer. “It can handle wet snow up to about 5 inches if you don’t come at it with the full 12 inches of shovel head. I’ve recommended these to friends and bought them as gifts for family members. Getting a second battery is a great idea, but you can recharge them in an hour. They’re great for smaller areas and safe enough for kids and seniors to use. If you’re getting more than 6 inches of snow in one storm, clear off the first 6 inches, then wait for the rest to fall before you clear the rest. It’s pretty quiet compared to a gas monster, so it shouldn’t ever bother the neighbors. I’m very happy with it.”

Details to know

  • Weight: 8.8 pounds.
  • Battery: modular 20-volt battery you can use with any Litheli 20V tool.
  • Warranty?: 3-year standard warranty, with extensions available.

The efficient little snow shovel clears snow in up to 12-inch-wide swaths at a time, then blows to up to 20 feet away, helping you clear your driveway or walking path in record time. It weighs under 9 pounds, and its 20-volt rechargeable battery will run anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting the job done on a single full charge.

You can recharge the battery pack in about an hour — plus use it with any other Litheli 20V tools you might have now or purchase later on. If you’re worried about one battery quitting on you with the job half-finished, you can always buy a backup battery, which you’ll never regret having on hand, especially if you’re going to invest in more than one Litheli electric power tool.
