Hi, I'm in Brampton ON. The snow isn't that bad compared to other places (there was a really bad one like 2 or 3 weeks ago tho), but I'm the only one that does the shoveling.

I can't afford a 1000 CAD blower from Canadian Tire or Home Depot. And I don't think I need anything super heavy duty.

Just want something reliable preferably under 400 CAD. Or is that not possible?

Amazon, around $270 for an electric shovel

What the hell is an electric shovel.. searches.. Hm that just looks like a small snowblower. Is it fundamentally different or it's just how it's called?

(I live in a condo so pretty much clueless abt snow cleaning.)

Often not self propelled, some just glide without wheels, and just has electric auger to throw snow forward.
