What to know about Snow Joe 24V-SS13

A popular, affordable 13-inch, 24V cordless shovel. Bob Vila named it Best Bang for the Buck and Family Handyman named it Best Cordless. It is about 13 lb, but runtime is short. Amazon's ASIN is the 24V-SS13-TV1 bundle: the same shovel and 4Ah battery plus a cover, scraper/ice dozer and extended warranty.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Bob Vila named it Best Bang for the Buck, and Family Handyman named it Best Cordless after it handled slush and plow leftovers. At about 13 lb it is much lighter than the premium models, and the 24V iON+ battery is shared across Snow Joe and Sun Joe tools.

The plain kit typically sells for about $180 at Walmart, Webstaurant and Tractor Supply. Amazon's in-stock listing is the 24V-SS13-TV1 bundle. It is the same shovel and 4Ah battery plus a cover, scraper and extended warranty.

What to know

Skip it if you need long runs. Reviewed measured about 22 minutes and Family Handyman about 30. Reviewed also had the top handle come loose.
Performance

Score breakdown
