I've got a gravel driveway so a snowblower doesn't work for me (I tried it, and after the gravel would fly through the air toward the house and car windows... no.). I used this a LOT last winter, and I'm glad I have it at the ready for next one. It's sturdy but light, and once you get the groove of pushing it only forward and not downward (hard to describe), it was great. I could do most of my driveway very quickly, I'm very, very happy with this product.
