I live 50 miles west of DC. Last week we were getting forecast of 8 to 12 inches of snow (unusual for this area). I'm 73yo and started to panic because all I have for snow removal is a steel No.10 coal shovel. I don't have the room for a full size snow blower and the shovel worked well for me 5 years ago but we all get old eventually. I went on Amazon to see what was available and came across this electric snow shovel. With amazon prime I could get it delivered overnight for free. Got it the day before the storm hit and charged the batteries. It started snowing 10pm that evening and by 3am I measured 5 inches on my side walk and the snow was still coming down. Not knowing how much more snow we would end up with I got out and plowed the walk in front of my porch and my 45ft driveway but did not do my front walk which is 120 feet long because I live on a corner lot. The electric shovel had no problem with the 5 inches of snow and only used half of the battery life. This was not a light powder snow either. When the snow stopped we ended up with 10 inches of snow. I plowed the additional 5 inches as before but this time decided to give the front side walk a try. Now this was a real challenge as it was over the capacity of the shovel. What I would do is push the shovel into the working face of the snow about 6 inches at a time and stop just before it stalled. Back off and do it again. Keep in mind that this was slow going, drew a lot of current and I was doing this after I had done my driveway. I got to about 15 feet to the end of the walk before the batteries gave up. Not bad. But the real test was yet to come as the plow trucks had not arrived yet. The next day they plowed and I had an 8 foot knee deep ridge of hard packed snow between the end of my driveway and the street. I started to use the old No.10 to hand shovel it out. By the time I got a 2ft wide path cleared from my driveway to the street my will power was gone. Then I got the idea of breaking up the snow ridge with the shovel by driving down vertically slicing off chunks of snow into smaller pieces. Once I had it broken up pretty well I hit it with the electric shovel the same way I did the side walk by driving it in to just before it stalled and repeating. Also I was not taking the full 13 inch width of the shovel but half of that. As you can see from the pictures it did it. And I still had half the battery life left when done. I don't usually write reviews but this thing saved my life.

I live in Grand Rapids, we get a lot of snow and I thought this would be great to clear our walkway and stairs. The snow that fell was definitely half snow half ice. It worked well when the snow was light and fluffy, but couldn't move the wetter stuff underneath. Just kept getting clogged and would just push the stuff around. I'm not sure the 40V one would do any better to be honest. It was only about 4 inches of snow and I think I put as much work in as if I were just to shovel it myself. I'll report back when I have more data. Initially disappointed. Update: It's possible the battery wasn't as charged as I thought the first time. We had a huge snow storm in Grand Rapids and really needed this to come through. There was about 6 inches and it was heavy with a little ice. It chewed it up super quick! I was able to clear my stairs and walkway as well as about 15 yards of sidewalk on two sides of the house in about 18 minutes. Saved my back. Definitely a win.

This product is easy to use, it is lightweight and what I love about it is the battery operation. I do not have to use gas or worry about plugging it in when it is snowing. I have recommended this product to others to try. I am really happy with how it removes snow. The one thing is that I would like for the battery to last a little longer.

My personal opinion about the snow remover blower it will do the job with soft snow it also clears some hard snow if it is not stuck to the ground I got to use it this winter one time and I think my wife has found a new toy to use instead of the old-fashioned way of using the shovel she's only 5'1 95 lb she can handle it with ease it's not heavy it has a little bit of Bolt to it but not that much you can store it in the broom closet and it would be fine the battery charges Within 2 to 3 hours and if you're doing your driveway and walk away it'll work just watch out for your neighbors because it does shoot pretty far

This is the best purchase you could make for your winter's to be so much easier. This thing cut through 6 inches of snow no problem and I was able to clear my whole driveway and the battery still had charge left! I would highly recommend this to anyone to make snow removal and breeze and so much faster!

Just shoveled 4 to 6 inches of snow from walkway and partial driveway in about 30 minutes. We just need a backup battery for the other section. Definitely a keeper. I would recommend getting a backup battery

For loose snow. This works on fresh snow and loose snow. If it has hardened it really requires some pushing.

I am impressed, throws snow as described. Battery was good lasted until finished with walkway and apron on the garage. Have recommended to friends and family.
