snowblowers
Driveway snow removers
Snowblowers are machines that clear snow from driveways, sidewalks, and other surfaces by scooping it up and throwing it aside through a discharge chute.
They range from small electric models for light snow to large gas-powered units that can handle heavy accumulation.
Also called snow throwers: I need to get the snowblower out before the next storm.
