We just had our first snowfall in Chicagoland and this snow thrower came through better than expected. I was a little nervous as some reviewers said it did not work well on wet snow. We had 3-5 inches of wet, heavy snow last night and this thing chewed through it like the Klumps at Old Country Buffet. I cannot recommend this item enough!!!
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 ... Read More:
Had one of these for many years. A pleasure to use as it moves large amounts of snow with minimal effort. Unfortunately it went missing last winter.
Came to Amazon to order a replacement today. I was amazed to find that they are unwilling to ship to Alaska. Apparently our reputation for such a moderate and tropical climate has convinced them we could not possibly need an item such as this.
As my family is slowly buried in snow this winter I will be sure to remind them that Amazon knows best.
Great way to get snow off the car with worrying about scratching the finish. Simply push the snow off. Takes off large amount of snow at once without having to go over the same spot over and over again. Love it.

I purchased this product after reading other reviews and seeing the product in the store. It is very simple and easy to put together, but when it comes to putting the fabric on, you want two people! It fits very tight!!. With two people its a piece of cake !! Very nice product for the money..
I have an extremely long and steep driveway -- so steep that the plow attachment on my lawn tractor is useless (once I plow down the driveway, I can't get the tractor back up, since the tractor plow leaves a thin layer of snow, which the tractor can't overcome even with wheel weights and chains). So two seasons ago I bought one of these, and found that I could clear the driveway more quickly and effectively than with my tractor! It worked so well for the past two years that I decided to buy a second one. Next season my wife will be able to help and the job will go even faster.
Not everyone likes plastic blades, but I prefer them. I find that metal blades "catch" on my driveway as I shovel/plow, while plastic does the job much more smoothly, ... Read More:
I have one of these and find it a perfect compromise between utility, size, and storage needs for the car. Note that while the description says it extends for long reach, that's still only about 3 feet. That's just fine for taking along in your car for the occasional dig-out, but you'll get tired of using really quickly if you are thinking of using it for your front walk!
The push-button mechanism for the handle extension is easy to use, the blade and handle are strong, and the extension of the handle into the blade ensures long-life, unlike some models that are pinned into a short socket only. You want stainless steel, as in this shovel, when you are storing a shovel in your car - you don't want it rusting in your trunk, staining everything ... Read More:
We didn't buy through Amazon - we used QVC. QVC mailed us some plastic bags instead of our snow thrower, so we haven't had a chance to use this product. We'd like to, because we're in the middle of a record snow fall in Southern Wisconsin. But, QVC isn't in a hurry or interested in expediting our real order to us. Our first tip that the QVC box in the mail didn't contain our snow blower was that the box was 1" tall and 5" wide. The invoice states that it's a snow thrower, but the plastic bags just can't move several inches of snow like, uh, a snow thrower.
David, the customer service rep, says the order pickers probably "grabbed the items from the wrong bin." I imagine the strength of those order pickers, grabbing and tossing snow throwers from ... Read More:

I bought this after our first big snowfall in December (07). Our gas blower crapped out on us last winter. In Wisconsin, we had our second highest total December snowfall on record. January is now over and so far we have had a ludicrous amount of snow. So my Snow Fox has been used extensively already. I would say a 4.5 star rating is more accurate. But you can't select a half star. We have an average size Madison city driveway and sidewalk. For snow 2" to 6", using the Snow Fox makes far more sense then using a gas blower. For 6" to 12" it still does a fine job. It's light enough to easily push with one hand. The other hand guides the extension cord. It clears the snow just as fast as a single stage gas blower. Mine hangs on a hook on the garage wall when I'm ... Read More:
