Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces The Rechargeable Snow Shovel

New York, NY, February 5, 2015 - Continuing its 167-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The Rechargeable Snow Shovel, a powered shovel that clears snow without requiring any lifting.

The Rechargeable Snow Shovel has a 500-watt motor that rotates a two-blade paddle auger, tossing snow up to 25' away. The shovel cuts effortlessly through wet, heavy snow or light, fluffy accumulation to quickly clear a 13"-wide by 6"-deep path.

"The Rechargeable Snow Shovel combines the power of a snow blower with the easy-to-use convenience of a traditional shovel," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General Manager Fred Berns.

The shovel has a second handle halfway down the shaft and the entire unit weighs less than 15 lbs., allowing shovelers to easily carry it up stairs and remove snow from a porch. The over 6'-long contoured shaft provides ergonomic comfort and reduces the need to hunch over, mitigating back discomfort. Its removable, rechargeable battery provides up to 50 minutes of shoveling after a three-hour charge via the AC adapter.

The Rechargeable Snow Shovel is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $249.95 For more information about this product, please visit https://www.hammacher.com/12599, or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at pr@hammacher.com.
