The one I had didn't have a way to control the angle. If it could shoot at a low angle so that the snow would just hit my fence, instead of shoot over it, that would have made it so much more useful. | i was watching videos and the reviewer said you have to do sidewalks at an angle so it blows it to the side, seems reasonable enough though going in a straight line would be faster Quote:

Snow was so deep I had to do 2 passes but the 2nd pass went by pretty quick once it was less than 6" deep. I haven't tired with slushy snow but I would guess it's not great at it.
For $200 including a battery it does the job and takes up very little space in my garage (I have nowhere to store the $500+ machines). | i'm low on space too, let me know how it works when it's not dry/light fluffy snow. be interested how it fairs in our more typical wet snow / slush
it looks like it takes the space of 2 shovels and i'm already in the ryobi line

I thought about buying a snowblower this year, after last years snow storm. But I figured hell it's just one day, why spend the money. Well. I wish I bought the snowblower lol.
I plowed and salted again last night to get rid of the left over that I couldn't get with a shovel. Went back out there again today to clean up the rest of the sidewalk. I'm the only person on my street (and it's a bus route) that has a completely cleared (you can see concrete) sidewalk. smfh.

Similar to the Ryobi, but corded.
I have to say, ours didn't work very well.
When pushing forward, it scrapes the ground of course, but kept getting caught on ruts and uneven portions which would cause an abrupt halt to your forward motion. That happens with manual shovels too, but shovels are light, and this thing wasn't.
It wasn't very good with heavier, wet snow. Might be better in the interior where the snow is drier and lighter.
The cord was super annoying.
And it just sprays the snow forward, into your walking path, making even more snow in front of you to clear away.
Hopefully your experience was better than mine!

I hate it when a pho place uses lemon in place of lime. What a cultural insult!

It seems like all pho places are cheaping out these days giving out lemons instead of limes... Rare to see Jalepeno slices anymore too.

Pho was already more than $8 before covid. The cheapest was probably $11, but now it's $14 for the cheap end and 17-18 for high end stuff.

I mean I get it, you get bigger lemons for the same price as a lime so it's a cost savings but they're both in stores year round
