Title: Light and fast option for smaller driveways and walkways.
Review: So far so good. First significant snowfall of the season 4-6" and it cleared our two car driveway and sidewalk in front of the house quickly. No complaints, and for an electric snowblower I thought it did a remarkably good job. Managing the cord is a little troublesome, but that would be true of any electric model. Had enough power to launch this morning's medium-wet snow a good 10-15 feet and cut the driveway clear time to just a few minutes. Other bonus.. Its light enough to easily pick up and move to another location. Make sure your cord is long enough.Even handled the plowed salted slush at the end of the driveway (threw it just far enough away to be useful).Update 1-28-15With a little reluctance the WEN managed to clear the end of our driveway after the New England Blizzard of 2015. This was above and beyond the call of duty for this little machine. Technically the sixth largest snowfall in history for our area. We had 2-3 feet of base snow fall and 3-4 foot snow drifts blocking the end of our driveway where the plows had blocked us. There is no way the snowblower could tackle the base snow that fell without assistance (its mouth is only about a foot high). However, with a little ingenuity we made it work. We decided to clear one small area and then chop / drag the snow back with a shovel (not really shoveling, just a downward chop a foot or two at a time). We then used the WEN to blow the chopped up snow out of the way. This worked extremely well and we managed to clear our (2 car wide / 1 car deep) driveway in about an hour and a half. We went back out today and the snow was somewhat denser, yet we still managed to re-clear 4" or so of additional snowfall and the area where the plows had blocked us in. Additionally we cleared a 50+ ft path down our sidewalk the width of the machine using the same approach. I would estimate an additional 45 minutes to clear the sidewalk 18" wide.Notes on heavy usage like this. This should be a no-brainer, but it got us... Make sure you don't have any other appliances running on the same circuit as the snowblower. The circuit we used was shared with our porch light and an interior outlet. We tripped the breaker not realizing we had another appliance going.I unplugged the cord a handful of times by accident, oops, cords are inconvenient, but a good flexible winter cord goes a long way. Take a bite of the cord with your hand so you know when your out of slack.The Snow Blaster does not like slushy snow. The chute clogged quickly in the slushy mix at the end of the driveway. Happened 3 or 4 times during our entire clearing. Not sure how the WEN will handle a really wet mix (probably not well), but the more dry and compacted snow wasn't an issue.If the blower bogs down, use it as a cue to take smaller bites of snow.Its small and light enough that I can bring it inside between runs and down a flight of stairs to the basement where it can dry off.Extremely happy with our purchase. I was very nervous about not buying a gas single or dual stage for our driveway, but this was a great and affordable compromise that is small and lightweight enough to maneuver in some tighter spots. I feel like I got my money's worth out of the item after one storm, but considering the job it did during this Blizzard it has more than paid for itself. If your looking for something to clear a 100+ft 2 car driveway, you might want to consider a larger gas two-stage, but for smaller jobs or with a little creativity this will work in a pinch if you work within its limitations.

Title: Very capable little machine - See photos
Review: This thing had quite the first storm to prove itself in. About a month after buying it (and a LONG cold weather extension cord which was nearly as much) we received about 4 feet of snow just west of DC. Assembly was very quick and easy, about 15 minutes with no tools required. I plugged it in and here's what I learned:I like:I would say it can do about 10 inches of snow at a time. The most I pushed it to do was around slightly below 2 feet (snow was litterally up to the shoot's top!). It still moved the snow, but required bumping into the snow a few times before clearing the area. Still much easier than shoveling. It cleared my entire driveway in 3/4 passes going out periodically through the blizzard during the day (see photos!).Throwing distance was plenty far to clear snow to the side of your average single family home drive way.Very easy to turn on and adjust the shoot.Clears powdery snow completely, no need to go back over with a shovel.It's small and easily stored.It never once shocked me or over heated, even if being continually used for 40 minutes.I dislike:It's basically all plastic. Time will tell how well it holds up. I already had a shoot clip break off after only my first pass (probably about a half foot of snow).It's not as powerful as a gas blower, but it seemed to work just fine nonetheless.It clogs easily if you let the snow melt a little. Slush and wet snow will be a challenge.I learned:Buy a cold weather and LONG extension cord. And know if you have an outlet near your driveway, other wise you'll hate this.Know which way the wind is blowing and start on the opposite side of the driveway, blowing pointing with the wind. Otherwise you'll just cover up what you've already done.I wrapped the powercord connection in some plastic to prevent it from getting wet. The idea of water and electricity together is scary.Overall: Recommended. We bought our parents one as well. Know it's limits and use it proactively during a storm and you'll be set!

Title: This guy really works.
Review: I bought this on impulse after a decent snowfall that got really old clearing by hand so there was a month long interval between purchase and first use. When it arrived the box was damaged (see pics) but the unit was undamaged. There's several parts to keep track of, but overall it's not a nightmare to assemble. I was concerned at the outset by the absence of rubber "paddles" or flights and I can't seem to find a replacement auger should that become necessary but I thought I'll give it a shot anyway. We had a fair amount of snow (4-4.5") overnight so out this guy came and I'm pretty impressed. The base was very heavy snow with a more powdery 2" or so on top and this thing did VERY well. I wouldn't recommend taking a full bite on each pass with heavy stuff, but after the initial bite and passes of 50-75% of the full width of the machine it is great. Even without the rubber paddles it went right to the base of the snow without leaving the 1/4" behind that lots of them do. That means a lot when you're cleaning off your deck or porch. Be careful of the chute direction as this baby doesn't fool around, it sends the snow a really good distance. It's also very light so carrying it up/down steps is fairly effortless. That means a lot when you're up there in years as I am. All in all, I'd do it again. I'm still concerned about the eventual replacement of the auger in the future but for now it's definitely worth the money. I'll do my best to answer any questions.

Review: We get only a biyt of snow, so we wanted something small and easy to handle for small snowfalls. We had one earlier than expected and got to try it. Worked very well. Still worked well even in wet snow. My neighbour are also happy I got it, now I can do their driveways as well. Will let you know on heavier snowfalls I am sure will come.

Review: This snow blower is amazing. Real easy to assemble and was well packed. Once assembled I could not wait for it to snow. The first I used it the snow was wet and a bit heavy but I plowed thru it and was amazed to see that snow shoot up in the air. Love it, it's not heavy and really fun to use. I would recommend it, but I use it to clear a narrow walk and in front of my garage doors. It takes about 25 minutes.Enjoy!

Review: Don't expect a gas powered John Deere, and dont push it past its limits, you'll be happy.I have never used a snowblower ever, but this works great on fluffy powder, good on medium density, but bogs down on the real heavy stuff. And dont even try it on snow that has thawed and then frozen again. Blades are plastic.Buy a good quality 15Amp cord and get out there and blow that snow!

Review: I will rate it 5 star simply because it is well made. Very light to carry considering It's a snow blower and was easy to assemble. But, I haven't used it yet because there isn't any snow.
