This blower work's great.

If you take your time and there's no ice in the snow to try and break up, this machine works pretty well.

The above equipment did not meet my expectations. It was used four times, The fourth and final time it started smoking and died. Save your money and give this device a wide pass.

I'm going to start with the obvious about this snow thrower. I'm tall. 6'4 kind of tall and I have to basically bend over to use this, and yes, it's set to it's maximum length/height. My roommate is 5'10 and he still has to slouch to use it. So if you're above average height be warned of this. Also it doesn't hold a charge and needs to be plugged in consistently. I did not know that when I purchased it and honestly that would have deterred me from the purchase. Now let's go to snow removal, or shall we call it, "Move the snow slightly to the side so you can go over it again and again until you are done". It doesn't do much except put the snow about two to three feet in whatever direction you have it aimed just so you can make another pass over it and so on and so on. Now mind you this isn't heavy wet snow or exceptionally deep snow I've used it on, about an inch to two inches max on a medium sized driveway and about twenty feet of sidewalk. Now about movement, if you aren't speed walking with it it isn't even moving the snow the very sad amount that it "throws" it. I've noticed the slower you move it the less it wants to actually move the snow. Got small almost unnoticeable cracks anywhere? Hope not! This thing gets stuck on the slightest of cracks or elevation changes and just doesn't like it at all. Over all, yes, it's better than shoveling, but just barely. If you're using it for snow removal on a deck or small walkway then I'd say it's worth it if you don't mind it plugged in constantly. All of that being said I hope my review helped you and happy buying in whatever you chose.

Despite feeling very light this model does a great job on light snow. I have a full size snowblower for heavy storms but this does just great on my walkways, saving me from having to shovel. If the snow is powder I can actually use it on my driveway and avoid having to fire up my gas snowblower. At some point I will probably invest in the battery model and lose the extension cord but for now it's really not a problem. Nice machine, fair price. I'm impressed.

I bought this for our lot in a mobile home community. We have a 4 car driveway and about 15 feet or so of sidewalk, so we didn't need some beast. Initially I was looking at the power shovel but I figured for the $20-$30 more lets make life a little easier. Storage was also a concern as we have a 10x10 shed with which we have to store our other yard equipment, seasonal decorations, etc. I was very impressed with this little workhorse. It just handled 3” of snow with ease. It wasn't the light fluffy snow but rather medium weight. It did manage to handle some of the slushy snow by the street pretty well too all be it with a little patience. Would have preferred a cordless unit but the price you cannot beat it.

I used the snowblower four times in two years. I bought it to use when my regular snow removal people weren't able to clear my driveway in time for me to get to work the time. On the four trip out of the garden shed, it started smoking and then after about five minutes it stopped. The unit was properly stored, properly used, and in my opinion not worth buying. Unless the snow is very dry. It performs poorly and the electric cord is another challenge I don't ever wish to repeat.

I haven't had a good chance to use it,but it did a good job making a walking path through a pile of snow and ice. I loved that I didn't have to shovel through it. It did a great job. I'm really glad I bought it. It saved my back from the shovel method, and much,much faster.

Works great. My biggest complaint is the discharge shoot won't stay on. I have to stop at least 1 time by pass. I'll wait until it dries then I'll try to super glue it on. Other than that, I highly recommend it. My driveway is about 50' long and 2 cars wide. Cleared it in about 10-15 minutes. Would've been quicker if I didn't have to keep replacing the discharge shoot.

Top snow shoot wouldn't stay on when snow would hit it added 3 more screws took care of problem doesn't shoot snow very well but what do you expect for 120$ better than shoveling works well when there alot of snow but not very good with 5 inches or less
