Cordless vs. corded electric snow blower — which should I buy?

Corded units (like the Westinghouse WSnow18D) cost less, never run out of power, and are lighter, but reviewers on r/Snowblowers and r/anchorage flag the hassle of dragging a cord through cold, wet snow as the main downside. Cordless 40V/56V models cost more and are limited by battery runtime, but verified-purchase reviewers overwhelmingly prefer the convenience for anything beyond a single short walkway.
