Gave this to my son-in-law in Denver. I got his input and I used it myself. Great product after a new snow. (not sure how it would do if icy) Takes out a sidewalk in almost a single pass and a driveway quickly and more easily than a shovel. If real deep, which we had (10 inches) still worked well but it was a push to foot and flip to the side. A little slower but still easier on your back.
