I shoveled 3-4 inches of snow in about 20 minutes.  Cleared off our cars, walkways, and mailbox in another 5 – 10 minutes.

Which isn’t bad and wasn’t stressful.  But if we got more than just a few inches, or we aren’t home when it snows and come back to snow – say after being at my parents for a week for Christmas, it’s a pain to shovel.

We were thinking about a cheaper plug in one.  They’re lightweight and easy to store.

The kid in me says no I’ve got this.  The adult in me say think it through. You’ll eventually want it.
