新华网10月11日电 据GIZMODO网站报道，清晨醒来，看到清新的雪景时，你的心情是美丽的，不过当你意识到该轮到自己去为车子扫出一条道路的时候，蜜月般的感觉马上就结束了。你可以使用铁锹，也可以冒着耳聋的危险选择烧油的除雪器，或者选择一个有线的电动除雪器，但有触电的危险。幸好还有另外一种更安全更安静的选择，那就是Joe Snow的新型iON18SB可充电除雪器，它使用电池驱动。

iON除雪器无需电线，它采用了一块40V的可充电锂电池作为动力，这对于打扫一块停车场来说有点不够用。但是如果雪下得不大的话，它可以在45分钟内清理完。如果你想要在8英寸的积雪中开辟一条道路的话，你需要让它处于最大功率，在第二次充电之前它可以工作25分钟的时间，或者你也可以使用一个插线板为它供电。

如果你的小孩子们要扮演某些角色的话，铁锹仍然是最好的选择。不过对于其他必须要对付积雪的人来说，一台价值400美元、安静的iON除雪器可以让他们的扫路之举变得稍微愉快一些。

This Rechargeable Snow Blower Frees You From an Electric Leash

As beautiful as it is to wake up to a fresh snowfall, the honeymoon's soon over when you realize it's up to you to clear a path for your car. You can go the shovel route and risk a heart attack, opt for a gas-powered snow blower and risk going deaf, or have at it with a corded model and risk electrocution. Thankfully there's one other safer and quieter solution with Joe Snow's new iON18SB rechargeable snow blower that runs on batteries.

Powered by a 40-volt rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the cordless iON doesn't have enough juice to clear a parking lot. But after a moderate snowfall it can clear the white stuff for up to 45 minutes. And if you're maxing out its capacity by forging a path through an eight-inch snowfall, the iON will still keep at it for at least 25 minutes before needing a charge, or presumably access to an outlet to keep running.

If you've got kids in need of building some character shovels are still the best way to go. But for everyone else who has to deal with snow, the quiet $400 iON will make mornings when you have to dig your way to work slightly more pleasant.
