Shoveling snow is invigorating for about five minutes...and then it’s just exhausting. That’s why having a snowblower at the ready is so great. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, and it turns clearing the driveway into an epic power move.

Of course, machines that toss snow aren’t (usually) cheap, which is why it’s so exciting that Amazon has slashed prices by up to 50 percent on top-rated Greenworks snowthrowers. Just for today, you can snag the Greenworks 20-Inch 13 Amp Corded Snow Thrower for $100 (was $199) and the Greenworks Pro 80V 20-Inch Cordless Snow Thrower for $239 (was $449).

Oh! And both will arrive in time for Christmas. Picture one of these under the tree with a bow...oh yeah. But act now—this deal is only good till midnight.

Save $99—not a typo—on this top-rated snow thrower. It features a 13-amp motor for powerful, snow-tossing power and dual LED lights, so you can get your snow blowing on, even in the dark. An adjustable 180-degree directional chute allows you to target where your snow will be tossed. Oh, and this little machine can throw snow up to 20 feet while clearing a 20- by 10-inch path.

“I thought having a cord attached while snow blowing would get in the way, but it didn't,” a five-star reviewer wrote, noting that it was “very easy to assemble.” That’s not all. She says it also “saved my back from shoveling! I have had 2 back surgeries and knee surgery. This helped me a ton!”

Want something cordless? There’s one of those on sale, too! This cordless snow thrower delivers 45 minutes of run time on a single battery. It’s quiet, so no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors or your eardrums, and can create a 20-inch clearing path. A 180-degree rotating chute lets you choose where your snow goes. Once you’re done, simply pop the battery on the charger and relax.

One happy customer said this machine “performs as well as any corded” snow thrower. Another said it “worked like a champ” after a 10-inch heavy, wet snowfall. “I could clear a path in two easy passes and then clear from there in half-width steps,” they added.
