This thing works phenomenal! We bought one for my elderly mother and mother in law. They are easily to use and cut the workload down significantly. They raved about them so much that we bought a third one for ourselves and were just as impressed. My only word of caution is to buy a second battery if you have more than 10 minutes of work to do, as they tend to use the battery up rather quickly. Overall and outstanding product and well worth the money!

So far so good. First significant snowfall of the season 4-6" and it cleared our two car driveway and sidewalk in front of the house quickly. No complaints, and for an electric snowblower I thought it did a remarkably good job. Managing the cord is a little troublesome, but that would be true of any electric model. Had enough power to launch this morning's medium-wet snow a good 10-15 feet and cut the driveway clear time to just a few minutes. Other bonus.. Its light enough to easily pick up and move to another location. Make sure your cord is long enough.Even handled the plowed salted slush at the end of the driveway (threw it just far enough away to be useful).Update 1-28-15With a little reluctance the WEN managed to clear the end of our driveway after the New England Blizzard of 2015. This was above and beyond the call of duty for this little machine. Technically the sixth largest snowfall in history for our area. We had 2-3 feet of base snow fall and 3-4 foot snow drifts blocking the end of our driveway where the plows had blocked us. There is no way the snowblower could tackle the base snow that fell without assistance (its mouth is only about a foot high). However, with a little ingenuity we made it work. We decided to clear one small area and then chop / drag the snow back with a shovel (not really shoveling, just a downward chop a foot or two at a time). We then used the WEN to blow the chopped up snow out of the way. This worked extremely well and we managed to clear our (2 car wide / 1 car deep) driveway in about an hour and a half. We went back out today and the snow was somewhat denser, yet we still managed to re-clear 4" or so of additional snowfall and the area where the plows had blocked us in. Additionally we cleared a 50+ ft path down our sidewalk the width of the machine using the same approach. I would estimate an additional 45 minutes to clear the sidewalk 18" wide.Notes on heavy usage like this. This should be a no-brainer, but it got us... Make sure you don't have any other appliances running on the same circuit as the snowblower. The circuit we used was shared with our porch light and an interior outlet. We tripped the breaker not realizing we had another appliance going.I unplugged the cord a handful of times by accident, oops, cords are inconvenient, but a good flexible winter cord goes a long way. Take a bite of the cord with your hand so you know when your out of slack.The Snow Blaster does not like slushy snow. The chute clogged quickly in the slushy mix at the end of the driveway. Happened 3 or 4 times during our entire clearing. Not sure how the WEN will handle a really wet mix (probably not well), but the more dry and compacted snow wasn't an issue.If the blower bogs down, use it as a cue to take smaller bites of snow.Its small and light enough that I can bring it inside between runs and down a flight of stairs to the basement where it can dry off.Extremely happy with our purchase. I was very nervous about not buying a gas single or dual stage for our driveway, but this was a great and affordable compromise that is small and lightweight enough to maneuver in some tighter spots. I feel like I got my money's worth out of the item after one storm, but considering the job it did during this Blizzard it has more than paid for itself. If your looking for something to clear a 100+ft 2 car driveway, you might want to consider a larger gas two-stage, but for smaller jobs or with a little creativity this will work in a pinch if you work within its limitations.

Amazing little powerhouse. So far I've used it 4 times this winter. All the snow was at least 3 inches, the last one was 6. Mostly dry snow.I'm always amazed at how well this little snow shovel throws snow for its size. I've retired my actual snow shovels.I haven't seen one of these with a wider head unit, but, I'll keep looking. That's really the only "down side" to this item, the machine is fairly slim and means you have to take a few more passes at the sidewalk than you would with a shovel. However, those passes are soooo much easier than lifting and tossing the snow yourself.

Got this as a gift for my mother in law who lives in WV and gets a lot of snow. This has been a lifesaver for her so she can easily get out of the house now! She said it works great and easy to use! It is durable and held up for many uses so far this season!

Unbelievable, it is awesome. Used it to do my 12x28 deck after a 6 to 8” snow three days later of weather in being in the teens. Worked great with little effort. Blew the snow right off the deck!

I live in Western NY, where I have witnessed snow storms drop multiple feet of snow at a time. I mention this so that you don't think I live in a place that shuts down because there are a few snowflakes in the air. I picked this up in December 2016 (it is currently February 2021). I've used it a bunch since then.My feelings: It's good for what it is, which is basically a powered broom.- It works best with fluffy snow, under 18" high. It's a little iffy with less than an inch or so, as it does not have enough mass to throw it anywhere.- It does not handle slushy or hard packed snow well. The "auger" can't break up the hard stuff, and the slushy stuff is too heavy. I end up using a shovel to break up the mound at the end of the driveway before chipping away at it with the blower.- The power cord does get annoying. What I figured out is that I start in the middle of the driveway and go up/down working out from there. This keeps the cord in the middle and away from the blower auger. It has the added benefit of not needing to readjust the output chute constantly (unless it's windy, which sucks). When I'm all done, I "park" it in the garage, then pull the power cord back in, starting from the wall side, and pile in on the ground next to it. That way, when I open the garage door to use it, I just start using it, and it doesn't have to unwind, and doesn't get caught. There are plenty of tricks to make this easy, but this pile method is by far the lowest effort that works. If you get the cord caught in the auger...ugh, it sucks. Good luck.- God help you if there is ice.- The chute gets clogged easily with slush and heavier snow. I just tamp the whole thing on the ground it is usually clears out.- The motor bogs down if you bite off more than it can chew. You can usually back up and try again a few times to chip away at it, but it's not going to magically be able to handle a real snowbank or anything.- after 2 years, I had the drive belt snap. I think it was only a couple screws on the side cover, and I was able to get the part number from the belt. Popped it into google, and had a new belt delivered for cheap. Slapped it on and was running again. Pretty cheap/easy fix if you have a screwdriver.If you get out there and clear fresh snow, it's pretty good a that, and can save your back from having to shovel it. If you wait until after the plow goes by, you are going to have a bad time.

Was able to clear the snow in less than 30 minutes when compared to the traditional way of just using a shovel that took over and hour and a half. Hold charger for a long time

We get only a biyt of snow, so we wanted something small and easy to handle for small snowfalls. We had one earlier than expected and got to try it. Worked very well. Still worked well even in wet snow. My neighbour are also happy I got it, now I can do their driveways as well. Will let you know on heavier snowfalls I am sure will come.

This snow blower is amazing. Real easy to assemble and was well packed. Once assembled I could not wait for it to snow. The first I used it the snow was wet and a bit heavy but I plowed thru it and was amazed to see that snow shoot up in the air. Love it, it's not heavy and really fun to use. I would recommend it, but I use it to clear a narrow walk and in front of my garage doors. It takes about 25 minutes.Enjoy!

Don't expect a gas powered John Deere, and dont push it past its limits, you'll be happy.I have never used a snowblower ever, but this works great on fluffy powder, good on medium density, but bogs down on the real heavy stuff. And dont even try it on snow that has thawed and then frozen again. Blades are plastic.Buy a good quality 15Amp cord and get out there and blow that snow!

I will rate it 5 star simply because it is well made. Very light to carry considering It's a snow blower and was easy to assemble. But, I haven't used it yet because there isn't any snow.

Powerful and easy to use
