If the manufacturer had put some type of wheels on it to take the weight, then all you have to do is push, it will in my estimation work better. This item is fine for small driveways. One problem I had was if the snow froze rained on etc, you have a real problem. For snow deeper than 6 inches, I suggest you find another type of machine. Also the weight of the blower plus you having to push,can be very tiring.
Does everything it said it would do. Changes from broom to shovel and back very quickly and easily.
for me i found this product to do all of what i wanted and expected it to do. some people posted negative comments, some posted positive comments. ft., it's a lot easier than shoveling it by hand. it's not a huge area, maybe 100 or so sq. i'm satisfied with this product. it's a little heavy and a little back-achey but i figure it's got to be a WHOLE lot less back-achey than having to lift and heave the snow with human muscle. i'm thoroughly satisfied with the performance of this product. i clear the area around my back porch door of 6" to one foot of snow so i can scoop it away with my snow plow.
Maybe I scared the snow away from central VA this year by purchashing two of these (one for me, one for my dad). Only time will tell. I ran mine for a few minutes, just to see how it ran and to get a feel for it. It ran smoothly.
It does work well when I get right on a new snowfall and before it gets too deep. It works fairly well on new snow up to about 8". If you've ever used a "real" snow blower, then this is a toy. If the snow is deeper and you have to reduce the depth by layers, it will wear you out holding the Toro Power Shovel up. I should point out that my decks are not accessible for my Honda, so this is a good compromise. And if the snow has sat for a few days and is compressed, it takes a long time.
