I love my snowcaster and will always use one. I even bought a spare in case they stop making them. I'm on my 1st blade and about to start my 10th year with it. If you need to throw the snow you can just kinda lift it with your foot and push it out. really though, it's not a replacement for a shovel, but you can clear a huge area really fast provided the snow isn't too deep or heavy.

The snowjoe is my favorite!!! So easy to toss the snow doesn't hurt my back. I like the dull blade I don't like to shovel to bare cement, I like to leave a small layer of snow so it's not as slippery and I don't use as much.

The SnowCaster is great with 4 inches or less of light fluffy snow. In that scenario it pushes snow to the side very easily- doesn’t build up like that. Not so great with wet heavy snow.

I think you finally figured it out somewhat! That plow was invented in the town I live in North Dakota. But it is not a “Shovel” as you see it is meant to plow a lot fast and a shovel is needed when you get deep! But I often go out every once and while and easily clear a couple inches quickly then I can do it again in a couple hours but not for 6-12” of build up

I have a 17 year old True Temper version of the Suncaster (the green one sold at Lowe's back then) still in good enough shape, and also the newer yellow one that's about 14 years old in perfect shape. It's more or less a perfect snow shovel. There is no reason to stoop or bend over, and all you need need is 2" of a leg squat while keeping the arms relaxed and straight if you need to lift the snow to carry it.

Remember to buy your show removal tools BEFORE the first snowfall. Otherwise you may have a long delay. This is mandatory for snow blowers.

You must have a heated driveway or it's not that cold in your area. The snow does not stick on your driveway.

Quiet the opposite. Utah is a dry cold climate. Relative humidity is low which is why that happens on occasion. Most of the time we get an inch or so of pure slush the 3 inches of snow on top. Then other times we get a light fluffy layer on top.
