Absolute trash excuse for a shovel. Come to the first snow storm with a hint of ice and it completely shatters. The plastic is flimsy and the metal strip at the bottom is completely for show. Don’t waste your time or money on this piece of junk.

[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.

Missing part, the aluminum strip was miss and can't complete the assembly of the shovel, without that it will deteriorate fast.

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
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
