We don't normally get a lot of snow in the MidAtlantic, but this electric snow thrower really comes in handy when we have a year like 2010. My driveway is 300 ft and after having back surgery, the snow thrower is much better than shoveling, glad I had it.
This is just what I was looking for. I used the snow blower last week when we got 4 inches of snow. It had no trouble blasting the snow over 20 feet. I even had a few 6 inch deep drifts and it took care of them easily. Having 3 wheels gives it tremendous stability - no tipping. Just think - no gas to mix or cans to store.
It starts so easy - just press the red button and pull back the handle lever like a lawn mower. I'm over 50 years old and pulling the rope to start the gas snow throwers was getting too hard for me. If we get more than 4 inches - I have some one who will dig me out but this is...

There are basically two types of effective electric or gas snow equipment products. The type that handles the big snow and the type that handles the smaller snow or that gets it quickly from in front of your door and immediate side walk area (rushing out periodically and swooping it away as you gage the atmosphere). Well this one fits the latter description.
The spindel has a crack after 2 uses. Then after the 4th use the cable the throws the snow broke. Then I broke my back shoveling. Spend the money on a TORO. It lasted me for years.
I'm over sixty, female, with a great big drive-way. The gas throwers are not user friendly for me to start or control. This electric blower moves snow , and is easy to lift,turn, start. The path isn't very wide but it cut thru the last 18 inch snow fall. I love it.....wish it could come in alittle larger size..but I love it
