Great snow blower for lighter tasks

This is a great lightweight snow thrower for lightweight snow removal. I bought it as a backup to my gas-powered snowblower. I have a driveway that is approximately 2000 square feet. A week ago we had about 3 inches of light, fluffy snow, and it cleared it with ease. It was easier than using my gas snowblower and it cleaned the driveway better (right down to the asphalt). The batteries died before I had finished clearing the driveway, so I put in a new set. I finished the driveway and had 3 out of 5 battery power lights left on the second set.
Today, we had about 5 inches of more dense, compactable snow. It took three sets of batteries to complete the driveway with 2 lights remaining. It did not do well on the more compacted snow at the foot of the driveway left by the snow plow. I could have used it, but it would have eaten up a lot more battery power. I decided to use my gas-powered snow blower for that.
Conclusion: It is a great snow thrower for snow up to 5-6 inches (I have not tested it on deeper amounts). If the snow is light and fluffy, it works like a champ. If it is wet snow, it will handle it, but it will take more battery swaps. I highly recommend that you have two extra sets of batteries if you have a driveway like mine or at least one extra set for smaller driveways. Also, realize that when the batteries are depleted, they are warm and will not charge right away until cool.
Mechanical: I found the rotating handle to adjust the direction of the chut to be difficult to use, and after a few minutes of use, the pin slid out, and the handle became disconnected. I put the pin back in but decided not to use the handle. Instead, I just grabbed the chut body and rotated it. This was pretty easy to do, and, in fact, I found it easier than using the handle to rotate the chut. Other than that, I found the unit to be designed well. The handles fold easily for storage, and the unit is lightweight and can be carried using the handle.

Very pleased with this snowblower

I bought this blower, as I am now the person that has to do the shoveling. It is light weight and i only need it to do our sidewalks and and decks. I like that it has a shoot, and you can direct it. We tried a power shovel and it just threw snow all over me. Very satisfied.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long lasting batteries

Does a good job and the batteries will last to do my long driveway and sidewalk. However, the handle needs to be higher. Bending over to push it will hurt your back. I'm 5'10" tall and to have to bend to push thru snow will leave you with back pain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
