Is this snow blower easy to maneuver even though it does not have wheels? Need to clear my 25' by 12' deck.

Hi - This DOES have small wheels in the back .... maybe 5 inches or so? We have a big deck, too, and it works fine. The whole thing is also light enough that you can move it around easily (kind of lifting it up and shifting it). We try to remove snow on the deck after it first falls and before it's too deep and have really appreciated having this little snowblower for that task. LOTS easier than the shovel!!! Hope this helps.

I use it for a double car drive and 60 feet of sidewalk. It is easy to move around and to shift and the wheels on the back assist with that. It does a good job in light snow but is not as good if the snow is wet and more than a couple of inches deep.

It actually does have wheels on the back. I didn't really have a hard time maneuvering it, and our driveway has no cement - just packed gravel.

It has wheels. They are plastic and do not roll great. Will work fine on your deck, but do not try to lift the front and cut above the snow. The snow will blow down and out at you while you are pushing it. Wet snow will not blow very far away.

This snow blower does have wheels. Small ones in the back. It's not difficult to maneuver as long as the snow is not too deep. It can handle up to 6 to 8 inches OK, more than that will probably require a couple of passes. It's single stage, but it does throw the snow a good distance; it's direction of blowing the snow is easy to adjust and it does fairly well for a single stage blower. You should not have too much difficulty clearing your deck. Weight wise, its not to heavy to handle just make sure you use a heavy duty extension cord and keep it cleat of the blower.

Greg...It does have wheels. Look at the back edge at the base of the handles where they connect to the unit. It is very easy to maneuver. My driveway is 20' x 70' and is a 7 degree slope down to the street. I have no problems at all even after 3 winters.

The wheels are just small. This machine is really easy to maneuver. My driveway is way bigger than the deck you mention.

The wheels are small. I have no problem maneuvering the curb. It may be a challenge on stairs.

Its weight is not an issues. About 25 lbs or so. I am in far north east new York and use this to keep my drive way and sidewalks clear, has worked great. Handles both wet and dry snow well. Simple use, small wheels but again I have not had any issues (meant for hard surfaces)

Assembly wasn't difficult at all. Instructions were quite clear. The rubber tire was the only thing that required a little patience to get it to line up. There are height adjustments for the handle to match it up for the user. It takes a little while to get the snow flip down but once mastered it is easy. Very easy on my back and it works with heavy snow too. It works best on flat surfaces like concrete, asphalt or wooden decks. It tends to dig in to grassy or gravel surfaces. Overall I love it.

it is very good to handle, yes the wheels turn very easily and it is not a heavy stroller. i can give a very good for the wheels.the zipper ,is a good quality one but you have to attach it in the right place to shut that window so i can say it deserves a good for this item.

It is pretty easy to maneuver even with 4-5 kayaks on it. Especially on smooth surfaces. Not so sure about rocky/bumpy surfaces. Can move it loaded through grass OK. weight well balanced on the rear axle.

I have had the chute rotation get frozen, and once with very very wet snow it did begin to build up in the chute - easy to clean out, and I suspect in the heavy wet snow where I had an issue, any snow blower would have had snow sticking and building up. It is so light weight and easy to clean out, I did not find it to be an issue. the frozen chute rotator was a bigger issue, and harder to get going again, but that has also only happened once out of the 6 times I have used it. It has to be wet snow, and cold so the wetness freezes, sort of an odd combination. I keep it in a heated garage between uses, which helps a lot.

It's very easy to move but doesn't fold up or get any smaller. The roof has a handle built in and it's not heavy at all.

I used it on 12 inches of moderately wet snow. It threw it about 8 feet. I had to push very hard to move the blower into the snow. It's not "self propelled". You have to work hard.

I used it last year in about five inches of a fairly dense snow and it did pretty well. With that being said this is the only snow blower I have ever used.

we got this because we have like 30 square feet to mow in our town house, so its a 5 min process. taking that into consideration, its not bad, its definitely not self propelled you have to push it and there is a little resistance. It also depends on how thick and high the grass is. I wouldn't recommend this for you if you have a large area to mow. The handle height is decent (the user is 6') i don't feel like i'm bent over using it. the best way to describe it would be pushing an empty shopping cart

I know this is kind of old but you can push it through grass and snow if you really needed to. Just gotta lock the front brakes. I forgot to lock them and pushed through snow, the wheels went sidewards haha. Not a terrain stroller for sure, it can't handle mud and I don't expect to go through any more snow than in a parking lot. That said it can handle a lot more than the simple umbrella that I got as a hand me down. The wheels are kind of a beast for this type of stroller. It works for me and I live in a rural area but I also have jogging strollers. It is much easier for smooth flat surfaces and it's easier on my back.

I tried plowing through 5 inches of wet slushy snow and it did not do a good job. The motor was struggling. Fluffy 6 inches is no problem at all.

I think that this snow blower would be easy for a woman to use. Lightweight and with electric start it would be a good purchase for her. It propels itself along and is easy to operate with controls within reach. Easy to move around and powerful enough to remove snow quickly.

I don,t know about using a snow blower.....Have not had any problems with it.....And we have had more ice & snow than in the previous years......

not self propelled - the blower is light in comparison to gasoline counter part - personally did not have issues on the pushing the blower. 15 amp is a big draw for our house circuit. 6-8 inches of packed snow should not be an issue. One foot of snow from the last snowfall was cleared but we had to reset the fuse 3 times.

"Durable steel deck" per description on Amazon. You can use it without self propelled feature just by not pushing the control bar. It is not too heavy. All you do is adjust the speed with your thumb on the bar.
