My regular big shovel kept getting stuck. I was able to clean off my entire car with little effort. I say strange because I don't know what these type of screws are called that have a plastic wrapping on them. In my case both of the holes on each side cracked. I did break the SnowMover snowplow the first time I used it. I'm cautious about breaking this one.
But the holes that hold the screw in place if that hole gets cracked there is nothing you can do with the Snowplow because it is plastic. I waited until they were all done and I went out and took the SnowMover plow and systematically removed the snow from my car in no time at all. It only took half the time to push the snow off my deck with the SnowMover than it did with the big shovel. It happened real quick, one minute I was plowing and then the next, I heard the pop, and as I jerked to a stop, I heard a second pop.
I do however believe that the manufacturer needs to come up with a better way to attach the handle so it isn't easily broken.And though it seems a little fragile than it should be, I really like this gadget. I really like it though, but I think you have to be careful to not snag it on anything because it seems pretty easy to that. I think they really need to re-think the way the handle attaches to the shovel part. I took my giant shovel and my SnowMover Heavy Duty Snoplow and used one on one half of my snow covered deck, and one on the other half of my deck.
But the SnowMover snowplow just glided smoothly as I pushed. I'm not good at explaining, but the yellow handle connects to the shovel by there being a hole on each side of the handle and it fits down through the top of the shovel base and is held into place with two strange screws. I think the makers should use some type of metal to hold the handle and bottom together.I contacted the seller through Amazon and I was sent a new SnowMover Snowplow right away, and I sent them the broken one.After receiving the replacement plow, two pretty good snow storms hit back to back. And I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing.
I don't understand how this thing works, but it works. I hit a chunk of ice and the handel detached on one side from the bottom part, and as I pulled back the other side popped as well. I watched out my window as many of my neighbors cleaned off their cars and taking a very long time to do it.
Buy American. No way to put it together again.Do NOT buy this cheap product, it looks solid, but breaks in an instant.Where did Quality Go. I can't believe how cheap this product is. Where the scoop attaches to the handle, it is held only together by 2 cheap tabs.I tried it for the first time to move 3" of snow off my car and on the 3rd swipe, the scoop fell off. To hell with cheap Chinese defective products.
But, remember, you will need to keep a good ice scraper in your automobile, in addition to the Snow Mover. And the SnowMover is durable if used as designed. Otherwise, I would not have used it. the SnowMover works well to remove snow from the hood, roof and windows. Luckily, the ice layer(underneath the snow) prevented the broom from scratching the car finish. If the manufacturer would make the SnowMover extend longer with a bit wider bristle surface, I would give it 5 stars plus.
The Snowmover is extremely lightweight and I love that aspect of it, so it could handle longer extension and wider surface area very well without adding much weight. However, the non-bristled edge has little effect on removing hard ice on the windows. The other day I made quick work of the snow built up on my car with a long handled push broom, even as I was concerned about the hard bristles. But, it was so very easy with the long handle of the push broom to make quick work of the snow on roof and hood and trunk. The SnowMover is handy to keep in the trunk. I purchased the SnowMover from Amazon last year(2008).
In addition, I wish the SnowMover extended more than 42 inches long. And the surface area of a push broom is much wider, as well.
I recieved a SnowMover as a gift and brought it along on a ski trip to Utah. The long reach is great and it really makes it easy to move the accumulated snow off the car when it's time to head out.
The SnowMover is designed in such a practical way. The grip is designed so that it makes it easy to find an efficent yet less painful way of clearing snow off of my van.
Good luck, and keep these kind of great products and innovations coming. It is easy to go backwards and forward with this amazing tool.
The telescoping handle makes it a breeze to reach those far, out of the way parts of my van's roof. I would highly recomend the snowmover to anyone.
I have fybromyalgia and find it very painful to exert myself physically. that I barely have to lift a finger.
That feature alone save me time, effort, and significantly reduces my pain.
