Very little power

If all you get in your area is 1-2 inches of powder, this blower will probably be awesome for you. If the snow you experience is heavier or wet in ANY way, it's going to be less effective than a good snow shovel. Even an inch of wet snow will cause the engine to slow and, given enough resistance, die. If you encounter even the slightest friction in pushing the blower forward (nevermind "bumping" it to clear accumulated snow from the blades), the battery case will flap open, as there is no actual catch or anything to keep it closed. Be prepared to go back over what you've just cleared over and over, and reach down every fifteen seconds to close the battery case, because that's what you'll get with this. The best thing about it is the LED headlight, which basically shines perfectly bright enough to show you how useless all your effort has been, and how much more you'll need to clear to pull your sedan out of the driveway. I am regretting this purchase more than I can say.
