This is NOT the multi-head system with Snow Shovel attachment, for some reason they made a non-multi-head version. Unclear why this exists.
On a related note, there a YT video comparing their Snow Shovel attachment Vs. Bristle Brush attachment for snow removal. They actually make an argument for BOTH tools depending on your circumstance (TL;DW: Bristle Brush gets everything completely clean, but cannot handle mid+ snow, Snow Shovel leaves a thin layer but works in heavier snowfall).

I own the multi head version of this and while overall I can recommend it there are caveats. The scraper portion that moves along the ground is plastic and mine broke while going across a crack one too many times on the sidewalk. Called Ego to get support and initially they denied anything was wrong and it was a wear part. Problem at the time was they didn't sell the individual part and wanted me to buy an entirely new head. I ended up sending the part off to a 3d print shop and they made me a few copies with additional support, reinforced sections, and the ability to attach a strip of metal along the bottom. I use rivets to attach the piece of metal. It works great now and almost 8 months after I initially contacted Ego they finally sent me an entirely new head. I think they now sell the plastic scraper portion separate.

This as a non-multi just seems unnecessary. I have the snow shovel and the brush and it's best to have both. However, if I had to choose one, the choice is definitely the brush. It leaves nothing to melt and refreeze as ice, just a clean and safe driveway. But the limit of the brush for a single pass is probably 3"ish of snow. But doing a second pass is easy enough.

It exists probably for people who don't have or don't want the multihead

I can see it being a great purchase for a small business owner who is responsible for the front door area of the business and a couple parking spots. One unit so nothing "walks away." But I'm thankful for the OP mentioning it's not the multi-head version which is the one I need so I can pass on this one.
