This thing is sweet. Had about 4" of wet heavy snow fall today tore right through it. No clogs or anything. The little woman did the drive she had no problems. The lever to more the shoot is probably the best design ever an smooth as can be. Finished a normal 2 car drive an half of our other drive before the batteries died. Had it full tilt an the lights were the whole time. Had no problem plowin the end of the drive that plow built up.
