And electric snow thrower with a cord can be had very cheap, like under 200 dollars:

They go up from there, and obviously batteries add some cost.
That is almost exactly what I have. I recommend it. Cord management is annoying but no worse than a cord lawn mower. Depending on how far one has to go this could be a greater or lesser consideration. I use a 30m cord plugged in outdoors and still need to add on an extra cord to get to the furthest reaches of the sidewalk; somebody with a shorter range of required clearing would find this easier.
But based on what I’m hearing here I would have to seriously consider a battery one if I were buying now. The extra cost to avoid dealing with cords might be a good tradeoff.
