Good for general purpose snow removal. This snow blower will only shoot snow forward, so keep that in mind. LED light is useful for clearing snow in low light environments. Very powerful, snow will get shot pretty high up.
Corded snow shovel has plenty of power for heavy snow. Much more than I see on other battery powered models. Best for new snow. I'll only use it a few times a year, so the slight inconvenience of a cord is not a problem. It is pretty heavy and all the weight is forward, so picking it up to knock down a snow drift is bit of a work out. It did jam up on one heavy spot and the belt squealed and slipped for a moment before I turned it off. I cleared it and it worked fine after. I'll probably get a spare belt just in case.
Waited a few months after receiving the snow blower to give it a review. I live in Western New York and this snow blower has handled everything I could throw at it other than a chunk of ice bigger than the opening. It's handled snow twice the height of the opening. Audibly bogged down on 4 inches of slush but powered through. And more recently pushed back the nearing waist high slush pile at the end of the driveway. Managing an extension cord is a little annoying but I found it easy enough if you treat the snow blower like a corded vacuum.
