Love this product for my deck and stairs and small snow falls on the driveway. It it light weight and easy to assemble and use. I am 63 y/o and my husband just died 3 months ago so this is a big help as he was doing the shoveling. I have a big snowblower for heavier snowfalls on the driveway. If you can figure out how to have the snow blow out to the side instead of the front that would be an improvement as you have to redo what you just did because snow blows out the front. Other than that, would recommend to buy.

Easy to lift and run.the handle is nice and long so you don't hurt your back.we had 4 inches of snow and it worked fine.battery lasted a long time.
Assembling it I had to call in because the electric cord was too long. I had to unscrew the bottom and pull it through (based on Customer service help) it worked well and I need to get another battery as a back up. I have to adjust the hand grip because you still have to lift it. Got a little heavy but it did the job. There has been a lot of snow and it certainly has helped! it does toss the snow 20' I think so use caution where you are directing it. Heavier snow like by the road where the trucks/cars pile on your driveway is a little harder for it to get rid of. You have to take little sections off the top at a time by lifting which got a little tiring. A bigger machine would be better but I am glad I got this one for walkway and driveway.
Had 2 storms so far. First was 6" of snow followed by rain and then 1/2" of ice. The snow was so heavy even large snow blowers had trouble and this snow shovel wouldn't work. But the second storm was 8" of just snow and this shovel worked great. I cleaned off my deck and walk really fast, which was good cause it was almost 0 degrees after the storm so it was good to get back in the warm house. I would recommend this shovel because except for those rare storms like the first one we had, this shovel will work. And it will work great.
So easy to put together and easy to handle. What normally would have taken me an hour and a half to shovel (sometimes longer when I needed to take a lot of breaks), took me about 30 minutes - tops. Love this machine. I'm an all most 70 year old great grandmother and I feel like I can take on old man winter with one arm tied behind my back. LOL
Well, we’ve had this device for about two months and it has really been put through the ringer. The last snowfall was about 14 inches. The blower is well made and very powerful. It will throw snow a considerable distance. But, with a really significant amount it requires that you cut down in stages. With amounts that don’t exceed the height of the blower mouth, or that aren’t very wet/heavy it does a fine job. This particular model is obviously not for large areas or massive amounts of the white stuff. But, for smaller jobs it is more than adequate. Very impressed.
live in maine in condo i can clean an area for the dog to go do his business, and it works great for me because i can't shovel I'm old and don't want heart attack.
This product mowed through 8" snow halfway down a 150 ft driveway like butter! The battery ran out halfway down and my neighbor said if the snow had not been so deep and wet and heavy, the battery would have lasted till the driveway was finished. He was completely surprised when such a small snow blower did such a great job! He actually said, when he saw the blower, oh, this won't work but I'll try it anyway. So happy I bought it! I would add a video I took, but don't have a YouTube URL.
