Customer Rating: Summary: one was given to me Comment: One of these was given to me by a friend and I tried it twice. It worked OK in light snow but in anything over a few inches (or heavy snow) just was very difficult - it cant pick up the snow and I dont have enough horsepower to compress the piles to make room for the snow. a bit of a disappointment but it was free to me. Customer Rating: Summary: SMSS Snowscoop Comment: The "snowscoop" arrived quickly, was very easy to put the wheel on, and does what it is advertised to do. It moves large amounts of snow with much less effort and was easier on my back than shovelling. Customer Rating: Summary: too much snow comes off the sides Comment: This product has tremendous potential, but in snowfall that is only ~1-2 inches deep it simply pushes the snow off to the sides more than it collects the snow up onto the Snowscoop.
The front edge of the Scowscoop is thick and blunt, rather than a thinner blade like a normal snow shovel. This means the snow has to rise above a 1/2 to 3/4 inch surface in order to get up onto the Snowscoop. Unfortunately this causes any snow less than an inch deep to simply be pushed forward (rather than coming up onto the Snowscoop) and it eventually just gets pushed off to the sides of the Snowscoop.
I love the very sturdy wheel, and I like the ability to replace the metal protector edge. I think a differently designed protector blade could improve on the design even more, providing a gradual ramp up onto the Snowscoop, and perhaps even adding side walls that force more snow onto the Snowscoop rather than escaping off to the side. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for light snow Comment: The Good: Great for up to 4" of snow...can clear a 2 car driveway in eight minutes
The Bad: Not good for deeper snows because nobody can push that amount of snow forward...you are not carrying the wieght, but you can not push it forward either. Customer Rating: Summary: Fairly Priced & Very Practical Comment: I think this is one of the best oversized shovels you can get. It helps you you catch a lot of snow you would have missed with a smaller shovel. Shipping was inexpensive.
