Easy installation (15 minutes) no need sophisticated tools!
This machine is just great. I live in the mountains at 600m above sea level - I have 30m + carriage road to be cleared my garage gravel descent.
For the price (100) I said I did not risk much if I was disappointed. I thought this machine more suitable on a paved area ... No way !!
I just have to get up very slightly forward (small pressure on the neck) to avoid the gravel projection ..... because it propels "serious" !!
Where I put 1:00 to clear snow shovel, I put less than 30 minutes with this electric drill.
I have found that two flaws:
A slightly short handle for big guys like me (1m83)
Very effective on wet snow, the snow is heavier and clog the chimney (that day it was also very cold, and it was freezing in the fireplace !!)
But in the powder, it is a pleasure!
I advised two friends who are also very happy.
