1) The telescoping handle doesn't lock in the extended position well enough and will slide down as you push. Very annoying. I'll be drilling holes in it to put a locking pin.
2) Because its not self powered, it can be a bit difficult to get it to the spot you want to plow if it needs to go through deep dense snow. Not a huge deal, but something to consider.
3.) Two 5.0 batteries lets me do the vast majority of my driveway. I then pop in two fresh batteries to hit the more dense snow that the snow plows leave at the end of the drive.
Its not as powerful as a gas blower, but if you hit the snow while its still fresh and dont wait for it to freeze, it will do a good job and doesn't take up a lot of room. Its also very quiet.

It takes both batteries to do your driveway? Is your driveway that large or do the batteries last a short time?

This is fine by me. I have learned over the years if the snow is super deep or hardens overnight, to call my plow guy in town so he can clear the driveway in minutes. Best $20 I spend every time I see him.
