Very nice for what it does
By J
Not sure what the Uncle Joe's attribution, "Sold East of the Mississipi River Only" means -- I live in Colorado, and of course they shipped it here, no problem. Despite the product description, my SnowPusher arrived with a bright yellow (NOT green) blade, not a big deal though. The blade is all-poly, no steel edge guard; so I'm not sure how galore seasons it will hold up on my asphalt and concrete. So far this season, it has held up well through assorted huge snows; just a little edge wear. It's probably best-suited for softer surfaces like decks, however. All I know is that this baby may clear 3 or 4 inches of snow from my wide driveway in not one thing flat. It's sturdy, easy to use, and very light. I wouldn't rely on this as my only snow-removal tool, but in concert with a regular shovel it may handle light (<6") snow cleanups very quickly.

A outstanding tool if you have a big area to clear
By Chris
I have an exceedingly long and steep driveway -- so steep that the plow attachment on my lawn tractor is useless (once I plow down the driveway, I can't get the tractor back up, since the tractor plow leaves a thin layer of snow, which the tractor can't win a victory over even with wheel weights and chains). So two seasons ago I purchased one of these, and found that I could clear the driveway more speedily and efficaciously than with my tractor! It worked so well for the past two years that I decisive to buy a second one. Next season my wife will be competent to aid and the occupation will go even faster.
Not everyone likes plastic blades, but I prefer them. I find that metal blades "catch" on my driveway as I shovel/plow, while plastic does the occupation much more smoothly, and clears the snow better. It's unfeigned that plastic does wear down (and a lot of humans might object to that), but I have found that after two seasons of almost every day use (we get with regards to 1/4"-1/2" closely EVERY NIGHT from January through early March where I live -- just sufficient to make the driveway too slippery to drive on without going into the ditch on either side), the blade on the introductory one I purchased is only somewhat worn, and is still rather serviceable. I'm guessing that it has another two seasons in it at least, if not more. All in all, I have been exceedingly satisfied with this product and would commend it to anyone.

best snow shovel -- more quickly than a snow blower for lighter snows
By zem
It's hard to get to excessively affected emotionally with regards to a snow shovel, but this one is terrific. For up to 3, perhaps 4 inches of snow, it works so much rapidly and without delay than a normal shovel and even more immediate than getting out my snow blower and untangling the cord etc. You don't lift anything: for a sidewalk you just do one pass permitting snow to go off to the side (angle it if the sidewalk is long). For a driveway just do one pass down the middle then short pushes to each side, or to one side if there is more room to push on that side. You never lift it; just slide it around and at the end of a pass concede it to pivot up and into the snow pile and tamp the shovel down with your foot to prevent the snow from falling back. It's much more immediate than regular shovels and snow blowers. Great product.
