seems worth to buy even just a toy, just watched some reviews on youtube, not so powerful, but works for small snow, the only thing need to worry: The blade is plastic material, might not so durable.
I bought this one last year a few weeks before our first snowfall. It cleared 8 inches of moderately wet snow with ease and it definitely sucked managing the extension cord. But it paled in comparison to shoveling that amount of snow and the back pain that ensued. I said then it paid for itself that one time. And I've used it several times since and it's been just as effective.
I've had this one for about 3 years. It's definitely not the best but it gets the job done for sure. I have used it a dozen times each year on my 50 ft long driveway. Yes having a cord is super annoying. It freezes and gets kinked in odd shapes. I had to get 100ft to have extra length. But the time and body aches it saves, is amazing.
I would recommend investing in a good extension cord that meets the snow throwers requirements and the weather. I was new to all of this when I got mine and my first extension cord was just a regular heavy duty one. It ended up "static" shocking me through the snow throwers handle. I was unaware how many different kinds are out there.
Also keep in mind this is a one-way snow thrower. So you can only go forward it doesn't work when you're pulling it backward.
It does have plastic blades which I thought was strange and it wouldn't last. But I've gone over ice chunks and all kinds of hard to debris and it hasn't failed me yet.
These and the corded Sno Joe are terrible. Unless you just like to get out in the snow and play around. I'm 70 and think it is still easier to use a shovel, do a better job, and spend half the time out in the cold.
But $68 bucks isn't bad for a toy if you enjoy playing around.
Thanks OP, I got 1. I only had to shovel 3 times this season but 30X last season with snow on the ground for 3 months where I live in eastern Sierra Nevada foothills near Lake Tahoe. My wife and I help out the elederly neghbors. Too bad it won't be here for 2 to 4 ft of snow expected tomorrow...
I loved my corded show blower! It was a toro, but about this size. It's light enough to hang on a rack during the warmer months. Like everyone said, a good cable will be your friend. It's a hassle but certainly better than shoveling.
It's not going to move the mountain of ice at the end of the driveway, but it would take a beast of has powered unit to do that. My wife and break up the ice barrier by hand, and the thrower will do the rest.
After 10+ years of lake effect living, the poor thing was losing parts. I bought the cheaper 24V Snow Joe hoping batteries have caught up to the plug in. We only had one large snowfall, and the battery blower kept conking out on the crazy ice and snow "Lasagna" that was left from the strange weather. I think the corded would have kept going, but probably just barely.
Shoveling this, on the other hand, would have a serious misery.
If you have a small 1 lane driveway. A corded or battery operated will do you fine. If you have a 2 lane large driveway, I'd consider gas, or a Ego 2 stage battery blower.

If you use a 16 gauge 100 ft cord, the voltage drop is going to be too steep. It will bog down too easily.

Is it possible to replace the blade?
