This clever windshield broom removes snow ‘in seconds,’ and it’s on sale for $25

I have a two-car garage, but it almost never houses both of my cars. Instead, it’s home to the family car, roughly seven bikes and my home gym, which means my other car lives outside in the driveway. And if you live anywhere that gets a real winter, you know the cold-morning ritual: brushing off the windshield, hacking at ice and slowly losing feeling in your fingers. That’s why a good snowbrush like the Snow Joe 18-inch Telescoping Snow Broom comes in handy, and it’s on sale for $25.

Amazon

This winter weather warrior has a panel to push snow off your car, plus a telescoping handle that extends from 33 to 52 inches so you can get to those hard-to-reach spots.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

As I write this, there’s less than half an inch of snow on the ground where I live, but the forecast says that won’t be the case for much longer. Snag this deal now before flakes really pile up. It saves time and makes winter mornings just a little less miserable (and who can put a price on that?).

Why do I need this? 🤔

This is one of those rare winter tools that actually earns its hype. It’s lightweight, easy to use and built to clear a ton of snow in one pass. One end has a traditional ice scraper, but the other swaps the usual brush for a wide, shovel-style foam blade that lets you push snow off your hood like a mini plow instead of awkwardly sweeping it away.

Worried about scratching your car? Don’t be. The non-abrasive foam won’t mess with your paint, the head swivels to match each push or pull and it pops off so you can easily throw it in your trunk. And yes, the handle telescopes from 33 to 52 inches, which is a game-changer. Shorter folks can finally reach across an SUV without climbing onto those icy tires, while you taller people out there just get to clear everything faster and get back inside sooner.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 17,000 shoppers give this winter tool a warm five stars, and some even say it does the job “in seconds.”

Pros 👍

“It takes just minutes and saves so much time. I’ve used this for decades and purchased this for an older family member to help them no longer have to struggle with car snow removal,” said a thoughtful buyer. “Worth getting for any age driver.”

“Living in northern Wisconsin, I wish I had known of these sooner,” lamented a grateful reviewer. “They work amazingly. I will never use a regular snowbrush again. These allow me to take a large amount of snow off in one stroke — and I can even reach my SUV roof with the telescoping handle! I also love the material it is made of; the foam does not get wet, so no more throwing a snow-wet brush in my car. I highly recommend it — bought one for myself and three for gifts.”

“This is the best thing that I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot of different snow removal tools,” wrote a five-star fan. “This has a soft foam texture that does not hurt your car at all, and I have a brand-new car, so I am extremely careful with what I use. It can get so much snow at once, and I am short and I can reach everywhere on my SUV.”

Cons 👎

A couple of four-star reviewers did flag minor quirks. “The ice scraper is not particularly strong. It is acceptable for emergencies, but it’s pretty cumbersome when the telescoping handle is fully extended,” one reviewer noted.

Assembling it inside is the way to go, another winter driver cautioned: “I highly recommend putting it together ahead of time, so you’re not attempting to do so with freezing hands, which would greatly increase the irritability factor.”

One end can clear snow with a simple swipe, while the scraper on the other breaks up ice on the windshield.
