This is an excellent product. There is a little wiggle in the blade which is due to the unique locking mechanism, but you can crush acres of snow with this and have very little fatigue. The blade has sufficient heft, but their handle changes the game. Better than a blower for smaller accumulations. Must have been designed by someone from a snowy region because they completely get it.

Great for long asphalt driveways
I bought a 36 in. Industrial Grade Snow Pusher with Versa Grip 3 years ago and liked it so much that I bought one for my 40 year old son. The Versa Grip makes it easy to push the blade as a slight angle just like a snow plow. It's great for light fluffy snow and it saves your back because it's a plow not a scoop shovel.
My driveway is 250 feet long and 12 feet wide I only need to make 5 passes and i's done.

Works well, ALSO, lifting snow and heaving snow >>> IF <<< you keep the handle lower than the scoop. Otherwise, it’s a manual “plow”…

Had to return it, the handle was unstable and there was no easy way to tighten it. I think the height of the blade could be larger in order to push more snow before it comes

Only works on smooth surfaces. best when snow is light to semi wet because this does move a wide area at once.
I had the 24 inch wide pusher and loved that too.

Curved to the outside?
I went in to our HD. to get this and looked by the Snow shovels and it was not there. The website said they had 7, so I asked someone who said "all we have are right there in the corner. I peeked outside in the garden area and there they were. I took it home and we were having a slow wet snow. At about an inch I was thinking this would be a breeze. Not so much . The snow just rolls off to the sides of the plow which seems like it is the intent, as it looks to have a slight curve to the outside and the material is super slick. I would also say like others have said you can not pick up snow with this thing unless you bend way down to get the flat part of the shovel level with the ground and at 36" trying to hold the thing flat (level) takes some real effort. The reason that is a bad thing is if you get a bunch of snow fall you're not going to lift it over the last pile.
I would check other brands. I will probably return this for an larger regular shovel after I shovel this lighter stuff we are getting right now.
If it weren't curved and held snow I would keep it.

Hello, Please be advised that this product is not meant for scooping and picking up snow, it's intent is to push to the side of walkways and driveways. We recommend purchasing a snow shovel for scooping. Thank you for your feedback.

Best pusher/hand plow I've ever had
This thing is big! It speeds the process up a lot which is why I believe it's worth the price. It's sturdier than your standard shovel but it's still not unbreakable. If you're looking for a nice snow PUSHER give this a try. For the people complaining about it hitting uneven spots on sidewalks..try using it the other way. Do 3 foot sweeps the short way of the sidewalk and you won't have the problem of hitting the next uneven sidewalk block. This method saves your back and may end up being faster

Love this shovel! It was worth every penny. It glides easily over asphalt and concrete. It’s quicker and a lot less effort to clear my driveway. I only wish they made it in a 30” model as I felt the 36” was too big to store. The length of the handle is good, so you don’t need to bend over as much. The variety of handgrips makes it easier to use as well. I’ve only had it a couple weeks, but have used it on up to 4” of snow and the berm from the snowplow. It also tosses snow easier than I expected for cleaning up the edges of the driveway.

I purchased this because my driveway is 45 feet wide. When the snow is not quite deep enough to use the snow blower I use this to push the snow into piles and then use the blower. This works as it states in the add. If you have less area buy a size that works. I'm happy with the product.
