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

We do not recommend as a small amount can be taken into the unit through the air intake, at the very least, this may damage the motor.

Yes my friend-this is the precise reason that I bought it - to blow a light snow from my walks, cars, etc... It works great for light snow blowing! Of course it depends on the temperature when u blow snow, the colder the better=the earlier the better/as the day warms up, the snow tends to stick to things and then u will have to break out the shovel or broom.

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.

Hi. Well I have used normal leaf blowers to do that very job and since this is a little stronger than a leaf blower, it should work fine.

From my experience the auger does only two things. Constantly tries to climb up onto the snow (needs constant down pressure) and (still) leaves a layer of packed snow on a cement surface that is very slick/difficult to walk on. I only used it once before returning it, in favor of gasoline powered blower which cost a lot more - but does the job.

the answer is NO! mine only blew cold air and that for only 10 min. and then even the blower quit never to work again. this product is JUNK.NOT A LITTLE BIT BUT COMPLETLY

Only discharges snow to the front or towards the way you are pushing it. Will discharge the snow a good distance based on the amount and how heavy(wet) it is. Great for a small area like sidewalks and short driveways.

Yes I did blow snow with it. It worked fine on the light dust. Not so much on the wetter stuff. I still applied salt to make sure I didn't slip.

No it will not work welll with a large amount of leaves. This is a "light" duty blower. Very handy for small jobs but definitely not for a large pile of leaves.

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.

I have not used it on stairs, mine are too narrow. If there is any kind of breeze you end up covered in snow. Not good.

I use it on my deck every snowstorm, no issues. Take this advice, before you use it, spray the inside of the blower, auger too, with WD40, it will prevent the snow from sticking inside.

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.

You can if you want to. But it will destroy your grass. any type of snow blower that has a bottom scraper and paddles will remove some snow and a lot grass.

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.

good timeing to ask.its great for dry snow . when we had wet snow that was a foot or more i had to use my double stage blower. so yes i like it easyer to blow snow

Good question. It has enough power to blow a few leaves but not a pile. Try this: Use your hair dryer without heat and if that blows snow than it would work because it works better than a hair dryer!
