It does what it says it should do. Being over 6'2" I found the handle to be a little too short and could feel a strain in my upper back and shoulders. To resolve this problem I would extend the length of the handle and add a few more notches for adjustment.

Handle is too short

I’m 5’9 and found the handle to be too short. I still bend over some and not good for pushing snow. Also the shovel leaves a lot of snow an ice.

Really DOES SAVE my back!

I HONESTLY really LOVE my Snow Joe shovel with its extra handle, and it REALLY DOES "save my back" (as I'm 76 years old). The one THING that I wish they would improve upon is the fact that the aluminum wear strip (cutting blade) seems to GRAB or STICK when I reach the concrete level of my driveway. I know it would cost more, but my suspicion is that a STAINLESS STEEL wear strip wouldn't do this, and I personally would be willing to PAY MORE for one with that.
I live in Pittsburgh, PA and although I received the shovel earlier in January, this morning, 1/30/17, was the first opportunity to use it on a light snow. It seems to work fine, but I suppose usage under a heavier snowfall will be more telling, not that I am looking forward to that! It was a very cold morning, around 25 degrees, and the snow stuck to the shovel. I wonder if spraying the shovel with silicone spray alleviate this situation without damaging the shovel itself.
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy to store, Lightweight, Easy to assemble
See Title.....however, the “primary” shaft is a bit too short. I am just over 5’ 10”. Also the “primary” shaft could/should swivel via the lower handle grip, and that lower grip could/should be “adjustable”, up or down to accommodate user physical uniqueness.

Good Shovel ..however

I purchased this shovel last year. Great for the back. It did take some getting used to. The only issue is that the first time I tried to use it this year (actually earlier today) the metal blade fell off. Its somewhere in the snow. Luckily it will be 50 degrees tomorrow. Hopefully I will find the blade before it gets stepped on. The blade obviously needs to be attached better
Bought my first Snowjoe Shovelution last year and loved it. The mechanics of it really make shoveling easier, even the heavy snow at the end of the driveway. If I had any complaints my first shovel did not have a metal strip on working edge. And that edge has not held up very well. I was glad to see the metal edge on our new shovel.
