electric snow shovel rec

Joe,

Exactly why I said an electric shovel and an electric snowblower are different classes of machines. The Toro Powercurve 1800 is a snowblower, not an electric shovel.

guess if I do decide to, blower is what I want.
shovel seems to be not much different than the human version for my purposes.

Robert, I agree. I find the shovel is of limited use. I bought it years ago because I had a long rectangular deck on my old house, over 17 feet long, that I got tired of shoveling as I got older. I had plenty of lawn around the deck so I could blow straight ahead or sideways and I could clear it rather quickly if it wasn’t a deep snowfall.

FWIW the push snow blowers are a workout too. Mine has powered wheels and is two stage (collection wheel and an impeller screw to throw it a distance).

For light snow my personal favorite is a Garant snow pusher. Canadians understand snow !

Fritz,

Yups. Everyone is surprised by how well the Powercurve does even in deeper snow! It's astonishingly capable!

Another consideration is the area that you are removing the snow from. Where I live, a snow shovel or even a smaller snow thrower wouldn’t be adequate to clear the heavy pile of snow & ice that the city plow leaves at the end of my driveway following a snow storm.

The powercurve certainly does well in the videos posted, but the snow also looks pretty damn fluffy in those videos. I wonder how it handles heavy snow.

Matt,

Surprisingly well. Just have to take its limitations into consideration when using it for heavier snow.
