Power Shovel

Comments about Power Shovel:

I bought this for my daughter whom has fybromialgia and couldn't start a regular snow blower or lift a shovel full of snow. This product was a great help to her for clearing snow at her house.

I use this to clear my back patio that I am unable to reach with a snow blower. I clear a small path for my Shih Tsu so she can go out and do her business that she would be unable to do if there was no shovelled area in the deep snow we have where I live.

We live in the great lakes where we are prone to lake effect with large amounts of snow so I was a little skeptical when my husband asked for this as a christmas gift. But after he used it once, we were convinced it could do the job. He has back problems and this alleviates alot of pain because there is no lifting.

Its more a man product,as its got some heft to it for a small shovel.It tired me out rather quickly. throws snow far,but wear some cover or you'll get covered and remember to stand downwind..my man used it in the smaller areas and says its ok..

I wish that it threw the snow to the side rather
than forward where you just throw it again and
again.

The picture shows a woman. But it is too heavy for me. Today was our first real snow = 8 inches. I had to lift. I can't have my drive plowed because it is gravel. Once I had it plowed. That spring I had to throw all the gravel pebbles back into the driveway before I could safely mow. I think my Toro is as hard work as hand shoveling - too heavy for me at age 84.

I found the blower easy to use , but had difficulty getting the snow to blow anywhere but straight ahead. It works very well with fairly light snow. It is helpful to have an extremely flat surface to work on(pavement would be fine).It is tricky on an enclosed deck as the snow can build up and it gets hard to blow over.

I think this would be a great tool for suburban/urban use in a climate that gets moderate snow.Unfortunately, I live in an more extreme climate and have very uneven ground, and allowed slush to freeze under the snow I was trying to blow away.

We live in rural farmland with no wind breaks, so we get a lot of snow drifts. My tractor-mounted snow thrower is good for our driveway, but drifts next to the house have always been hard on the back to shovel out. The Power Shovel works great. It is a little on the heavy side to lift to the top of the drift, but it is light compared to the weight of a shovel full of snow. It throws the snow nearly as far as my tractor-mounted snow thrower. The Power Shovel also works great around our holding tanks, which has also been a difficult area to shovel. I am able to easily clear around the tanks without piling up a mountain of snow behind them. A note on the weight: if you are not lifting the shovel to clear drifts, the weight is hardly noticeable. The Power Shovel slides easily along the ground to clear snow to a depth of six inches or even a little deeper.

TORO offers quality products. This shovel is heavier than I expected. It would not work well with heavy wet snow. I plan to return this item. [...]
