how well does it work on walkways?

Good question. But I do not have an answer, as I only used it on the asphalt shingle roof. As for unintended consequences, the porous nature of some paving material, I might have concerns about the product leaching into the soil and the effect on vegetation around the walkways.

In addition to asphalt shingles, I have used it to spot treat brick walls, stone walls, a stone patio, an asphalt driveway and wood landscaping timber. In each case, the mold and algae browned and died. Use on the shingles has been tremendous with my roof which now looks like new. Probably because of the extraordinary dampness and shade for some of the other applications, the green did recur. I am very careful about using it near vegetation and try to apply sparingly to keep runoff to a minimum. Even on the shingles, I would limit application to areas affected. So far I have not had any plants go south. I would be careful on walkways as by nature it results in a very slippery coating.

Initially you see no results, but over a month or so, it really cleans the sidewalk and it stays clean. If the sidewalk is under trees that portion will need to be resprayed, and does not stay as clean as the portion that has sunshine. I used it last year and the section in the sun has remained really clean.

I didn't use it on my walks, which are concrete. I used it on asphalt shingles, Masonite and vinyl siding and brick wall with good results. If the walkway is brick then I'd say it should work okay and I'm thinking concrete should be okay too based on how it works on everything else.

I did not use on a walkway, but overspray did get on a part of the side walk abd made no particular difference.

never used the stuff waste of money, use a 50/50 water/chlorine mix with some Dawn soap in a pump sprayer let it sit for 20-30 min and rinse

It works wherever and whenever any walker works. It's just a lot lighter, easier to transport and folds compactly. I love mine, and people are always asking me where I got it. Highly recommended.

Works fantastic on flat concrete and driveways. Not so well on pavement, too rocky. Hope this helps.

It does corners and edges well, so long as it's in an area where you can bend the handle down to get the head under the toekick. So the only problem I have is a small area between my island and a row of counters., but it even gets there with some side to side maneuvering. It seems to suck up dust from the sides of the head as well as front, so you only need to go into corners once rather than from each direction. However tile's a bit tricky, although that's seems to be due to the nature of tile itself rather than the vacuum. Dust and dirt seems to attach to the grout since it's rough textured, and neither this nor my regular vacuum picks up without using the hose and brush attachment. If you have a professionally done tile floor it may not be a problem, but if you have sunken grout (not level with the sides of the tile, which happens a lot in do-it-yourself tile jobs) this vacuum, or potentially any vacuum, may have a problem. Test with your regular vacuum first--if it will suck from grout without using the hose attachment, it's a good bet this will work as well.

I live in the city and stick to sidewalks, avoiding rough terrain. Pavements present no problem. The walker moves easily over slight irregularities in the pavement. This is the second HUGO I own. I walk about three miles daily. it is helping to maintain my vitality.

yes it works very well on flat surface I take the bus to work then I have about 6 or so blocks to work it works if your pushing or pulling and as I said works well on stairs or curbs and works in snow and the bag don't touch the ground so it don't get wet I have used a bag like a back pac much more expensive and heavier good luck i might just buy another one. vickey

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

I run about that around my garden and it works well , have not tried a greater distance

it works great on any hard surface. concrete, asphalt, hard packed dirt. short grass pretty good. long grass and gravel probably hardly will wrk

I used it on the roof,but put it in a knee high, worked great and we use it on our steps and walkway melts fast, great product and I'm sure it would work just throwing it on the roof.

I imagine it depends where you clip the device, but I haven't had any trouble with it. Unlike pedometers, it doesn't seem to pick up movement from driving or when I'm restless at work.

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

It doesn't work well on grassy area. Works great on concrete though. My kids love it. And now all the kids in neighborhood have one.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

Have not taken it outside yet. I use it mainly in the house which has rough terrain just as irregular. However any thing designed like any knee walker tipping is always possible. I would suggest to practice with it to see how it handles for you. Quoted Over all it works well for me.

I have ceramic tiles, vinyl tiles and carpet. I should say it does a pretty good job on all area. However one pass is only a gimmick, something it take 2-3 pass to pick up everything you see on the floor. And from times to times the roller brush hit on some harder stuff, like a small piece of sand or rock, which will fly backward. But, generally I do like it's quite, light weight and auto cord retract function.

I inserted tham on my brick walkway, and they are beautiful in the night. I am not sure if it will work on ground. Perhaps if it is inserted a little below. Maybe you can purchase one or two and install and see it works. Good luck
