This shovel is great! With the 2nd handle you can easily throw the snow, even ice-snow combo. It's a very natural feel to shovel and throw. Where was this 30 years ago??!!
In Seattle, we just had 20+ in of snow, highest since the 40's, and my snow pusher just couldn't handle the amount of snow. This shovel just helped me cleared 50ft long driveway easily. I didn't have to bend or strain to lift the heavy wet snow once.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shovel is to small, wish it was wider. We have big wide driveway takes a lot of passes with it.
The biggest problem I have is bending and lifting every shovel load for at least a hour. For me, my body lets me know I did wrong and will remind me for the next few days. Now with the Snow Joe I can complete that same chore faster with minimum effort. I could not believe that little arm addition could make shoveling somewhat pleasurable and much easier. Everyone needs this shovel.
