does it clog up easily?

It all depends on how deep and how wet the snow is. If you're trying to plow an inch of slush, yes, it clogs easily. If you're plowing 5, 6, 7 inches of "fluffy" snow, you should have no problem. If most of the snow in your region is heavy & wet, you'd be better off with a larger, heavier duty model. Hope this helps. Whatever you decide, good luck.

It is probably equal to a 5HP blower. A lower HP blower will clog easier then a larger HP machine. Usually only slush will clog it. Slush is thrown easier by a larger HP blower than it is with a smaller one. Snow WILL NOT clog it. Last year, when we had 32 inches of snow where I live, I ran this machine right under the snow and then pulled it back and the snow collapsed and I ran it over again to clear it. It would just dive right into the pile. I wish I had gotten 2 of them since I only paid $295 for it.

If the snow is wet and heavy it clogs up to a point where it is useless. This is a "light duty" machine only and isn't much better than shovelling. Buy a a snowblower with a more powerful motor at least 250cc. Do yourself a favour and buy a more powerful machine.

We have not had any issues with clogs, and this works well with little effort to fill the barrel and then divert it back to the downspout when the barrel is full.

Hi In New York City we do not need to worry about it clogging. It's bio degradable and cotton so it should break down easily But we have used this product for 5 years and it is a must have for travel , every day in your bag or everyday bathroom for a multitude of uses

As you don't say what the problems are, I suggest you clean it every time you use it also, remember to unscrew pin and wipe off often. I hope this helps since I have not had trouble with mine but clean often so it does not clog.

We haven't had any problems with it clogging up. But I can't say that it wouldn't. I would guess that if you were trying to cut tall, wet grass, that might be a possibility. We have zoysia grass and haven't had any clogging issues at all. We don't cut the grass really short and it's dry when we cut it.

I use it almost every day so that's not usually a problem. When it does clog, I use a guitar string to unplug it. After I've had it for a while, the clogs can get worse so I use a 1/16" drill bit and drill through the clog. Hope this helps.

I empty mine after each use. I have had no trouble with clogging or removing it from stick. I use it daily and have had for few months.

It fairly easy to clean, but its also fairly easy to get messy. I own two of them and love them.

Sometimes it does, sometimes not at all. At first it did, and slowly has nearly stopped a month or 2 into use. Put it in a place that is not near you to drive you crazy perhaps? Its worth the filtration! Super worth it!

Yes, I think it would clog up and no, you can't open it and clean it. Funny you ask because mine just died. Little Giant is the best you can buy, just not this one for your pond.

That is how I use it. SteveI actually used in front of my bigger filter to save it from constantly getting clogged up.

It has never clogged, but I don't see why it would be hard to unclog if necessary.

I believe Lawrence's answer is correct. If your pump intake get gets clogged it will, acting as a minus adjustment, lower the level of the water spout. The intake, if your water is not clean, will get easily clogged. But it is also easy to clean.

No. It has a regular plug. I have found that I have to get a new pump every 6 months or so, despite cleaning it thoroughly. It just doesn't hold up well in providing consistent flow and it gets clogged up super easily. I also found that it can be difficult getting the tubing to stay on and it also gets clogged easily. Seems like a lot of maintenance for a simple pump!

We've had ours for awhile now and have NOT had any issues with the lid getting clogged. Granted we never leave the unit with the lid in the downwards position. That may be something you should consider when using. Hope this helps.

Actually I'ts not bad. Yes I do rinse it and plunge in the clean water after the clog is gone. This is less work than a toilet snake and works better than a standard plunger.

NO!!!!! The only part that gets clogged and ruins the fountain so that it stops working entirely is the motor compartment, which is sealed shut and can't be opened. It has little slits on it that let cat hair in. I have a 2 short hair kitties that use this (really just 1 cat), and it lasted about 5 weeks before it shut down from hair building up in it. I tried to pick it out with a toothpick...yeah, that's absurd..and didn't do much good. I hate this brand with a burning passion. This is my 4th product from them- I keep upgrading thinking I just need a nicer model. NOPE! :(
