Could it be used effectively for snow removal? I had one with plastic bristles that got the job done, thanks!

Yes! Here in Vermont we get some serious snow storms. I used this brush to remove snow off of our vehicles and it seemed to work quite well and in that its soft and safe for car-finishes, it fit the job requirement perfectly.It's a year round auto brush for us.

I think that the bristles would a bit soft for all but the lightest powder snow.

it would work on a vehicle but the snow will clump up and freeze on the bristles forming ice balls if you used it for more than a couple hours so take it back inside to thaw and dry out.

This blower is overkill for 1-2" of snow but it would certainly handle it. It's a heavy machine however so a lighter duty blower would be easier to use with that small amount of snow.

We had alot of snow and dirt last winter. Often I had to use wet/dry vacuum. But it contained most of it and was nicer than not having anything to catch it.

good timeing to ask.its great for dry snow . when we had wet snow that was a foot or more i had to use my double stage blower. so yes i like it easyer to blow snow

For an electric snowthrower it does very well. It's a very strong tool. You merely have to adjust your speed to the density of the snow.

Good question. It has enough power to blow a few leaves but not a pile. Try this: Use your hair dryer without heat and if that blows snow than it would work because it works better than a hair dryer!

Yes. It has skid plates that can be adjusted for the kind of surface you're clearing snow from, holding the blade and adjustable heights from the surface.

it obviously is not as strong as a medium priced gas snow blower. most problems are associated with it's low profile in a snow over 12" deep and it struggles in wet snow. however it got me through winter of 2013 and was a great improvement after shoveling by hand. didn't have any overheating problems. a good machine over all.

no good for ice or chipping. this is great for removing snow and will not hurt cement or black top. had my drive sealed in october and no signs of scrapes or markings. highly reccommend.

Not very good. This snow blower is better for lighter freshly fallen snow. Wet or heavy snow is difficult or impossible to remove with this product. You will need a heavy duty gas snow blower or a snow plow for that stuff.

Every steel snow blower I've seen has always had runners on the edges that keep the blade a fraction of an inch above the surface. If there was no gap, you'd wear out the blade very quickly and most likely, unevenly. It would also pick up ever little piece of debris in its path and eventually damage the snow blower. The runners also allow it to be adjusted even higher for people with stone driveways. I believe the instructions say to lay a piece of cardboard down and adjust the runners so the blade skims across the cardboard. This means the machine will leave a thin coat of snow the thickness of a piece of cardboard box. I've found the thin layer of snow evaporates by the end of the day in most cases. If the snow is very wet or temps rise above freezing there may be enough water left over to refreeze into ice. You have to remember, a snow blower is just one tool in your arsenal against the ravages of winter. Consider it as you would a whitewash brush. It covers a large area with little effort but lacks the detail ability of a smaller detail brush... your shovel.

I'm assuming you mean loose powdery snow over ice - I don't think they'd work well at all. The little plastic "teeth" are designed to dig into packed snow, and I don't think they would work at all on ice. You'd need metal teeth to grip a sheet of ice.

It can. In fact, it comes off by itself occasionally. I would recommend using it, though, as it helps pull down snow chunks.

It doesn't snow where I live, but it takes just about EVERYTHING off my boots and the soles of my boots. Best scraper I have owned. I would imagine it would take snow off.

You can if you want to. But it will destroy your grass. any type of snow blower that has a bottom scraper and paddles will remove some snow and a lot grass.

PM85, I think it will be fine for the job, but maybe not the exactly what you're looking for. It's not too hot (like a 1875 watt hairdryer) where you can't hold your hand up to it, but warm enough to melt snow. The blowing force is strong enough to knock off any snow or ice.

No. This shovel is not designed for large tasks such as that. It is suited more for small campsite tasks such as digging out a firepit, creating a small latrine, or digging a solar still. If you are worried about getting stuck and need a good shovel, I suggest investing in a good snow shovel. I have this shovel and live in WI where getting stuck in the snow is a definite possibility. I would not even think of trying to use this small shovel for that task. Hope this helps in your decision!
