This electric snow shovel has been a God send for my husband and son. My husband is almost 70, there is NO way he should be out there shoveling. Our son who lives with us is 44, which normally he would shovel, but a year ago he had a widow maker heart attack and by the Grace of God every medical personnel involved were able so save his life. But, it has left him with a very weak heart. Now I will not let him shovel! So thank you Wild Badger Power Cordless Snow Shovel. The only complaint we have about it is you can not change the direction the snow blows. I wish I would have found one that you could. We were expecting a huge snow storm, and this was the only one I could get delivered before the storm hit. Thankfully it works well, and my husband likes it. The battery has held up for us to clear the area around 4 cars and the road up to our house, also in front of our huge metal shed. A walkway to our porch and the porch without any recharging needed. I would recommend it.
