The idea of something like this (this one is from the brand @wildbadgerpower in case you're interested) is for those days where it doesn't quite snow enough to break out the massive snow blower.
It weighs about 20 pounds so definitely heavier than a normal shovel but you don't have to physically throw the snow, it launches it out of the path.
If you live somewhere that gets steady but limited snowfall, a cordless snow shovel could be a handy tool if you want to give your back a break.
I was able to clear my driveway in a much shorter amount of time, and I was feeling so jazzed about it that I proceeded to turn the show shovel down the street and clear my neighbor's sidewalk, too. Might have to start a local side hustle.
