I live in the Chicago area, and have been a confirmed snow shoveler for 17 years. I just didn't want to hassle with a snow blower. Then I saw this cool product, a hybrid between a shovel and a blower. The Toro Power Shovel really works, and will save your time and your back!
The unit throws the snow straight ahead about 20 feet. You use it just like a shovel, but with no lifting and throwing. You can adjust the handle length and the grip position to fit your height, further helping your back. The only drawback is that it must be plugged in, so you may need a pretty long extension cord, or a couple of cords. It has a cord lock system, so you don't need to worry about the extension cord coming unplugged. The unit doesn't take up much space in your garage. It is a little over a foot wide. I have the handle extended all the way (I'm 6'2" tall), and the unit is a little under 5 feet high. There is no assembly required.
I just used it two days ago for the first time, and cleared my driveway in no time. It was about a 2 inch snowfall, with pretty wet snow. Be aware that the manufacturer says that this unit will only handle accumulations of up to 6 inches in one pass. In the Chicago area, it is almost certain that we will have more snow than that a few times per winter, if we're lucky. The instructions say that you just make a couple of passes. It will still be easier and quicker than shoveling. I'll update this review after a REAL Chicago snowstorm!
Highly recommended.
