I bought a $400 snowblower but in MN when the plow comes by it's anywhere from a foot to 4 feet deep and even the snowblower has a bitch of a time dealing with that. I more just keep backing up and ramming it into the pile again. Still better than shoveling. Did that for 10 years, was definitely worth getting a snowblower where I live. My Dad just got a bobcat for his driveway and sidewalk lol. Someday maybe I can have the dream too.

Well, I'm watching this from Wyoming, and I'm impressed with this unit. No, it won't take out my 4 foot drifts, but most of the snow I have to deal with on my ramp (I'm a disabled Vet.) can be removed with this unit if I pay enough attention to get on it before the snow accumulates too deeply. I think this unit would do nicely for most of my snow removal needs. Thanks for the "heads up," partner!

That was a very nicely done video. Very informative and right to the point. Just the way a review type video should be. You got yourself a new SUBSCRIBER!!! I'm a 20 year construction and snow plow veteran. So although the Ryobi may not have the hard core staying power as some of the more expensive models we would generally use would have I definitely agree with your analysis on the Ryobi. They are a solid homeowner brand product for a resonanable price and will take the occasional heavy use perfect for home use w mildly average storms. You also can't beat the price. Thanks again for the awesome review and I hope to see more in the future!!! NOTE TO THE FUTURE BUYER: As a hime builder I know that certain brands have certain tools they make better than others as there generally isn't only 1 brand I prefer alone. This is a little long-winded but for example I prefer a Makita circular saw, Milwaukee Sawzall, Hitachi or Bostich nail guns (especially air compressor powered ones), and Dewalt battery powered screw or drill guns. Most battery powered Dewalt tools are nicely made w good batteries that last through hard regular use although you'll pay a bit of a premium for that. Professionally its worth the durability and speed. Lastly most air compressors w a 150 psi max rating will more than cover your air power needs for the nail guns. The tank gallon capacity is what determines the level or type of tools it can handle. A typical pancake compressor is usually more than enough for average framing or trimming however roofing sometimes requires a bit more capacity especially if you have 2 or more guys running guns as they tend to shoot many nails very quickly and you don't want the motor turning on too often because it can be overworked especially in hot weather. Im always happy to answer any construction related questions because I love to talk shop so hit me up anytime at Normanmurk@gmail.com. Happy Building!!!

I have used a Troy bilt one for 20 years. Looks the same. I use it for back deck and side door. New England. Snow funnels from hip roofs on those areas . If we get a foot of snow, I will have 4 foot piles or more in those tight areas. You can lift the blower like a shovel and widdle the piles down. Best part is that the blower throws it up to 20 feet away where I can get to it with my big blower. Definitely worth the money. Wear snow coat and pants. You will get covered. My Troy bilt came with a broom to swap with the auger that is useful in spring brooming sand off driveway.

The head looks like the one on the battery powered 40V Kobalt unit I bought in 2019. I live near Chicago, and was new to clearing snow. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't. Where I live, houses are close together, and the unit throws pretty far. So, I can throw 40 mph snow at my house, throw 40 mph snow at my neighbor's house, throw 40 mph snow into passing traffic, or throw 40 mph snow on my neighbor's sidewalk. Because of this, where I live, there are very few cases where it's a better choice than going outside with a really good shovel and a short, stiff broom. I'm not saying it's useless or a bad device, but I'm definitely not the target market.

They are $100.00 in Canada. The one thing we would like to mention is it will only "shovel" dry snow and only small accumulations. If the snow is heavy & wet, even a small accumulation, it won't shovel. If it was a light fluffy snow that accumulated overnight, it still wouldn't be strong enough. BUT IT SURE IS FUN! Seriously though, if we can't just push a snow shovel through a couple inches of snow, we should be ashamed of ourselves...lol.

When there isn't that much snow it really is a lot easier and faster to just use a normal snow showel/ snow scoop/ snow sled or what ever you call it and get the job done, unless you're in really bad shape, really old, handicapped etc. When there is way too much snow and not enough time... then you need a decent snow blower and those are not cheap to purchase.

When I saw the title, I trying to figure out how a powered shovel worked when digging a hole. Oh, should have said snow shovel on the topic!!! Glad I live where their is never any snow. It looks useful for those that do. The price seems cheap. If it was battery powered the battery would last maybe a minute. Battery in th close reduces the charge of them. As hard as it is working, it would drain batterys pretty quickly.

If you have ever had to use a snow shovel to remove more than an inch or 2 of freshly fallen, heavy wet snow from wooden steps and landings or a deck (where the only way to actually get the snow out of your way is to LIFT it up to toss it over the railing, dozens of times), one of these things is a godsend once you learn how to use it. Learning how to use it includes- getting out there to remove the snow before it gets stomped into mini glaciers. Also, starting out at the front door and shooting it away as you work your way down the steps keeps it from coming back. Going UP the steps- not so good. Spending more money for a cordless version is well worth it. Ryobi used to sell an attachment snow shovel you could use with their lithium 40 volt powerhead, but I couldn't find one for sale so I got a 24 volt Snowjoe which allows me to get rid of all the snow on the steps without lifting any of it even once. It's still a bit of work, but it's nothing compared to lifting several hundred pounds of wet snow. As far as using a blower? Maybe a gas backpack blower could work on wet snow if you don't mind getting it out, starting it, strapping in, and then wearing much of the snow which gets even more airborne than with the power shovel.

What I don't like is the cord, and that it throws the snow in front of itself. Besides I need something that will do the plowed in snow at the end of the driveway. I have a gas blower that ran well the last time I started it, but the self-propel broke, and I don't know how to fix it. I'm sure a shear pin broke, or a bolt fell out, but I don't know. I use to be able to fix such things when I was young. And now I can't even take it anywhere.

Try a good powerful leaf blower, for years I seldom have shoveled any snow having to clear the porch, walkways, pathway out to the garage, and a potty area for the dogs living in a snow zone near the Pennsylvania line because I use my 250 MPH Toro Ultra electric leaf blower/vac, It does well even with a wet snow most of the time by holding it a little closer to the ground, and I don't ever worry about hitting something and damaging it. I always hope for a dry powdery snow but rarely get one which would take me about half the time to clear. I don't mind at all having to use a 100 ft. extension cord because it always keeps the power level consistent and won't lose voltage and die down like a battery operated one. I get my money's worth using it all year round for grass clippings, blowing & shredding leaves, cleaning out the garage, etc, and even works great for drying the car off after washing it to eliminate any water spotting.
