This snow blower really surprised me. It took wet snow and hurled it 20-25 feet. I tried it in 4" of snow and it worked perfectly. I love that there is no maintenance, no fixing the engine, getting dirty with gas and oil, none of that. Just plug it in and go. If you had a giant driveway this probably isn't for you, but i'm happy with it for a 3 car driveway.
