The first big dump of snow usually arrives before most people have found the shovel. This guide covers five snow shovels and pushers listed on Amazon.ca, from a cordless throwing shovel to a trunk-sized folding model. Prices, ratings and review counts were read from the listings on Nov. 4, 2026, and may change.

VOLTASK 24V 13-inch cordless snow shovel

Best for homeowners with short driveways, steps and decks who want to skip the pull-start of a full snow blower.

• 24-volt battery, 13-inch clearing width
• 4-Ah battery and quick charger included
• Directional plate and adjustable front handle
• Listed price $179.99 on Nov. 4

Listing snapshot: 4.2 stars from about 2,100 ratings, with 1,000+ bought in the past month shown on the listing. A cordless shovel throws snow instead of lifting it, so it suits light, fresh snowfalls on small areas. A narrow clearing width means wet, heavy snow or a long driveway is better handled by a full-size blower.

Snow Joe Edge SJEG24 snow pusher and ice chopper

Best for people who want a low-cost, no-battery way to push light snow off a driveway or walkway.

• 24-inch poly blade
• 2-in-1 design with an ice chopper edge
• Manual, no battery or cord
• Listed price $57.98 on Nov. 4

Listing snapshot: 4.2 stars from about 19,000 ratings. Pushers work best on light to moderate snow that has not been packed down. On deep or heavy snow, a lift-and-throw shovel or a powered tool saves effort.

• 45-inch aluminum shovel with D handle
• Listed weight 3.7 pounds
• Metal blade for scraping packed snow
• Listed price $67.98, coupon price $64.58 on Nov. 4

Amazon Basics snow shovel, 127 cm, dual handle

Best for shoppers who want an inexpensive ergonomic shovel with a second handle to reduce bending.

• 127 cm overall length
• Ergonomic dual-handle design
• Heavy-duty polymer head
• Listed price $43.15 on Nov. 4

Listing snapshot: 3.9 stars from 172 ratings. It has the lowest rating of the five picks, so it is the budget option here rather than the top-rated one.

AstroAI 38.4-inch folding snow shovel for car

Best for drivers who want a compact shovel in the trunk for digging out a car or a parking spot.

• 38.4-inch extendable, folding design
• Aluminum handle and blade with a reinforced iron hinge
• Packs down for a trunk or emergency kit
• Listed price $39.99, coupon price $35.99 on Nov. 4

Listing snapshot: 4.2 stars from 505 ratings, with 200+ bought in the past month shown on the listing. A folding car shovel is an emergency tool rather than a main driveway shovel. Its small blade is the trade-off for packability.

How we chose

We looked at what Canadians are searching for on Amazon.ca this week and picked a mix of price points and styles, favouring listings with real rating counts. We read prices, ratings and specs from the listings and did not test the products. Where a number was not on the listing, we left it out. Check dimensions and weight before you buy, and pair any shovel with ice melt on steps.
