I'd like to use this to blow light snow off my cars and steps. Will this do something like that?

My experience is with leaves. Device does not work well with heavy leaf piles or large areas. Battery drains in about 10 to 15 minutes on high speed. I do not know how that would compare with snow. Light snow on a small area like windows might be okay.

I have not tried this but I see no reason why it wouldn't be useful to blow snow. Of course, the snow would have to be blowable meaning not wet and icy. Also, battery life is limited.

It has plenty of power. I live in south Louisiana so snow is a foreign object. I would imagine it would but I have no actual experience to back that up.

My device blows just air - not heated air. I might blow off powdery, dry air, but I don't think it would do very well on slush.

I like this concept for light snow,I have a 70'x40' drive and it does the job on 1" to 2" fluffy snow. The shovel is a little light as its a plastic like material,I have an older one with a heavier metal blade and works better. It doe work though and recommend it.

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.

Works best on flat surfaces, but works great all around, best thing for snow ! Better than snow blower

I tried it again 3 days ago and it didn't do a good job! I threw about six up on my roof and a lot of snow is still there! I would not recommend this item! You have better luck using a roof rake.

I haven't tried one like that. We waited too long to get this and had to use it on 3+ feet of snow on our roof. We dragged away the snow from the top, about 9-12 inches at a time and it did the job.

I have used the blowing feature in the garage and found it sufficient to move anything I expected (leaves, left-over road dust from road-treatments during the winter, and small other items.) No complaints in that use. I would suspect (although haven't tried it particularly) that it would be strong enough to blow anything in the confines of a car or even in blowing confined areas of the undercarriage or under the hood. I didn't try the variety of nozzles which, in theory, would even more funnel the air and increase the force at the point. Hope this helps with an additional use of what I have found to be a GREAT product.

Even a Black & Decker 18V air broom will work on light snow up to 1/2". I'm using a Toro 12A corded blower with 230MPH wind speed and it will clear anything from slush to diamond dust (ice crystals) The leaf blower does a great job of cleaning right down to the concrete after using the snow thrower after major snow storms.

I don't know. Never tried it. I don't think that is what it was designed for. It worked fine for blowing leaves and light sand.

Like the other reviewer said . Dry snow throws pretty far. But if there is wet snow or worse ice on the bottom this snow blower will not even go forward. You have to manually push it. That is really tough on the back and all other muscles. In that case I have to use a two stage blower. (Ariens).

It will for snow 2 or less inches. If it is more than this, slushy, or icy it will struggle. I used it in 4 inch snow but it required two passes and just made it very thin so the sun could melt it.

We've used this for pulling vehicles out of the sand at the beach. It should be ok in snow as well.

When I got off from work last night, I work second shift, there was frost on my car. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to really see if this heater works. I sat it on my dash board and it really didn't do the job. The blower for the heater isn't strong enough to do what it advertised that it does. I did like, the size of a lemon at a time. I then decided to put on my car defrost and it worked much faster. I worked well as a hand warmer. I became interested in this type of unit to safe on my gas when trying to heat my car in the winter (I didn't expect it to heat my car but at least help). This product didn't meet my needs. I hope I answered your question.

It could because this does not have wheels. It slides on the surface and is made of plastic. I don't think it would do any worse then a snow shovel.
