I've looked at the electric "snow shovels" but not sure how well they work. Also not sure if the battery powered versions would do the job without 2-4 batteries.
Maybe I'm beating my head against a wall but wondering if any of you have encountered something similar and were able to come up with a solution? Even Input on your experiences with the shovels/ blowers etc. would be helpful keeping in mind something small, easy to maneuver and hopefully light
My parents live in NH, get plenty of snow, and they have what I would call a small electric shovel for the walkway, patio, back deck, etc.
- I used it once when I visited them - it worked pretty darned well.
- It doesn't engulf more than maybe 4-6" of snow with each pass, but you just sort of skim it across the top in layers.
- It was a plug-in with extension cord, so no idea how battery operated would do.
- Not a ton of torque, so you go slow so the motor maintains momentum.
- I was in average snow, neither very loose nor very wet. It worked OK.
