Much easier to push snow than to shovel. The metal blade needs to be improved, it wears very quickly from scraping on concrete which is where it is used most, maybe make a replacement that is easy to switch out.

I’ve used the shovel on 4 snowfalls so far. 3 were fairly light but fell on warm pavement and the bottom turned to ice. The last one was only about 3 inches but the drifts were over 12 inches in places. The shovel moves a lot of snow without having to lift it. The handles are well placed making it easy to lift and throw snow when necessary. The steel edge is a little tricky to get used to. When the handle is lowered the shovel wants to slide over the snow. Works fine once I got used to it.

Great shovel!
Sharp blade grabs deep snow down to the surface (it's really best in more than a few inches of snow), and we can move a lot of snow at once. Love it!

I purchased two of these shovels so if they ever stop making them I’ll have a spare! The metal scraper on the bottom wears out after 6-7 years. I’m 64 years old and this shovel allows me to shovel my snow easily. I would highly recommend this shovel!

Too cumbersome.
It’s too cumbersome. I can’t lift it to empty or throw snow.

The angle of the metal scraping blade could be better but that may also just be personal preference / what would work best for me. I'm 6ft and average in arm length.

Awesome snow shovel
This is a great shovel to clean the driveway on those light snows. The neighbors are jealous.

NOT good
This shovel is a monster. Unless you are a young tuff-guy, this shovel is difficult to use, due to its large size. If you fill it with snow, most people will not be able to lift it, to empty it. If you try to use it as a pusher, again, it fills up with snow and can't move it. Almost seems like the double wide handle encourages two users; which is never going to work! Do not buy

Snow shovel/pusher
Good snow shovel/pusher. The only thing I’m concerned about is it’s longevity!

Great shovel!
The shovel finally broke after 5 years of use. This is my favorite shovel and I am buying another one. I push the snow then go back and clean up what falls off the side. It's easier than scoop, throw, scoop throw.

Best shovel ever. Put back in stores. Moves a ton of snow. Pushes easily and then lifts to clear. Only weakness is the plastic wears on bottom and corners after pushing as a plow for a few years. Worth it though.

The handle was hard attaching it to the bottom part of the shovel. It kept popping out of the brackets. Once I brought them inside the house for a few days then it would stay in place. Bought 2 of these as they were Christmas presents.

excellent snow shovel
Was nice and wide. You can use it for pushing or traditional shelving. There are two different handle positions for tossing the snow. Best snow shovel that I've ever used.

Best shovel on the market. This is my 3rd one. Live in Buffalo so some winters it gets used a lot. You can push the snow and not have to lift. Highly reccomend.

Poor Metal Edge Strip Design
I love this snow shovel, but the edge strip is becoming wore down. Rivets are exposed on the bottom, and come in contact with the pavement, causing failure of the attachment points. The metal bar is also wearing away. I tried to install larger rivets, but they also failed. I feel that the metal scraper should be redesigned, and the rivet attachment points should be placed where they don't come in contact with the pavement. A groove on the front edge of the bar could overlap the plastic shovel edge, the metal scraper bar should be hardened steel. Since the wear problem appears to be consistent with other users, I feel that my suggestion will make your product better.
