If you’re looking to get ahead of snow removal this winter, it’s worth browsing the current deals at Walmart. The retailer has had awesome discounts on all kinds of tools from workbenches to cordless drills heading into the holiday shopping season. And, though it’s the peak time for buying snow blowers, one of Walmart’s bestselling gas-powered rigs is nearly $250 off.

The PowerSmart Self-Propelled Gas Snow Blower is on sale for $560, a 30% discount from its normal price of $800. This powerful blower will make quick work of clearing your driveway and sidewalk after a snowstorm, and it has impressed Walmart shoppers—it’s amassed over 200 five-star ratings from folks who say it’s “well-built and powerful” and that it “does an excellent job” clearing snow.

PowerSmart Self-Propelled Gas Snow Blower, $560 (was $800) at Walmart

The beating heart of the PowerSmart snow blower is a 212cc gas-powered motor. It drives a tough all-steel augur that blasts through the snow with a pair of steel wheels clad in deep-tread rubber—no need to push this beast. You can adjust its speed using a handlebar-mounted lever, and a rotating handle allows you to quickly move the chute from side to side to keep snow blowing exactly where you want it. The generous plow—24 inches wide by 20 inches tall—makes clearing large areas, or deep snow drifts, a breeze. An LED headlight helps you see where you’re going (yes, late-night plow sessions are totally possible with this rig), and if a traditional pull-start sounds like too much effort, you can plug it into a standard 120-volt outlet and hit a button to start it.

Although it’s not from a major name brand, you can buy with confidence: One Walmart shopper reported this “well-built and powerful” machine is up to the task. “The 24-inch wide path that it’ll clear will make clearing even large swaths of my driveway and walkways fast and easy,” they added. “I’m very impressed with the quality of this machine.”

Anyone who’s ever tried clearing a driveway the old-fashioned way knows that shoveling is a ton of work, especially when you’re dealing with deep or wet snow. This PowerSmart snow blower has all the features you need to turn it from a back-breaking chore into a simple, low-effort task.
