Aptly Named The "Shovel Master 9000"
By AG on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2024
Shipping was super fast, grabbed this used for almost $40 off original price. The battery had some charge left, so naturally my husband and I tested it out right away. This thing is a powerhouse! It flings snow up to 20 feet in front of it, and the scraper scrapes any ice away and throws it forward. This is a super handy tool for smaller driveways and sidewalks, so glad we finally purchased one. I would DEFINITELY recommend upgrading the battery, but it does work out of the box for now!

Here are my thoughts on the shovel so far: There are three things I don’t like about that shovel. 1. The width of the shovel is only 12”. Seems very small. 2. The battery doesn’t last as long as I need it to but next year we’ll buy a bigger battery that will last longer. This year we’ll just deal with it since tomorrow is March. Battery lasts about 30 minutes before it dies. Invest in a larger one. 3. I wish the trigger had some kind of lock on it so you don’t have to keep pressing it down. Sounds silly but after holding it for 20 minutes it gets HARD. 4. The battery takes several hours (4 hours) to charge up again once it dies. What I do like about it is: 1. it makes the work go fast and easier. 2. It’s fun to see the snow fly as you shovel it away. 3. Kids can use it too and have fun while working.

Surprised

I've had this thing for 2 years and didn't have to use it until last week. I didn't expect it to do much with the 8 inches of snow we got on top of 2 inches of ice BUT all things considered it performed quite well at moving snow. The battery life is the achilles heel for this thing though. You've got a 10 or 15 minute run at best, and then a 3 hour battery recharge time. I don't know if they sell extra batteries and adapters for this model, but if they do, get 2 extra and keep them ready and you'll have a pretty decent snow removal tool.

What can I say we have a snow on plow for the drive & up the front but out back we have a deck that needed shoveling constant so this was a perfect light solution for that. I use this on the deck and for making a clean area in the yard for a 5 lb dog that gets lost in the snow so much easier removing with this.. we got on sale nearly half the price it is now but makes shoveling alot faster & lighter.. as other said I do wish it had a trigger lock so I don't keep letting go n it shuts off lol but it's not the shovel it's me 😜😉
Not worth it

doesn't really work like you want it to, it has to be the perfect snow to work, better off with a shovel, It dosent get surface clean, piles up, makes a bigger mess. After a few tries went back to shovel. Cleaned it better and quicker I guess if you have a light fluffy snow and don't mind snow left behind then this is a great idea but if you want surface cleaned to the bone & fast use a shovel.
Good value for the limited scope snow shovel that I needed

Read others' reviews and the instructions! I tried it out at first without a full charge on the battery and gave it a good whirl! Didn't last too long, but the instructions clearly stated it needed a good charge before 1st use. When purchasing, I understood that the battery charge was time limited and could be a barrier depending on the individuals' needs. I found the time limit highly compatible for me personally, to avoid strain and hypothermia in cold temperatures. Great buy for the perfectionist! The battery time won't allow me to "overdo" any shoveling. Good light weight, but my arms were still be tired the next day for times that required a good stretch in use (the front sidewalk). The cordless feature is the cincher to purchase as my sidewalk shoveling need is dreadedly far from an electrical outlet.
Works well with light fluffy snow

Clogged up, freezes up stops running doesn’t clear very far at all before it has to be cleaned out. It’s easier to use a shovel.
