Can it handle packed snow or wet snow?

it can do packed snow with some ice in it IF you go slowly and don't overload the motor

Very small amounts 1" or less will work with this machine if it is not to wet. It does not do well with very wet snow (almost slush) as it jams the ejector tube. It does not do well with packed snow as it won't break it loose from the surface.

Worked great but top keeps popping off. Not sure I put it on correctly or of broken.

You can use this in any kind of snow, but the wetter it is the slower you will need to go and it may clog easier.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

So far I have used it in the 6"-7" dump we got this weekend with no problem except the chute control handle broke - not a biggie as you can turn the chute by hand.

Honestly I can't say exactly but it helped me dig myself out of some snow a few times and it was loads of snow. I don't see it breaking any time soon.

This pushed out dry foamy snow, so depending on how much foam you want, it could.

In Colorado powder? Yes. All day long. My son comes in and it's packed full of snow and still runs great. Not sure about wet snow but I would imagine it would get into the car even less.

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.

Inches of snow probably ok but heavy wet snow will crush the flexible plastic dome on top, and yes these things will leak but only from wind driven rain, the water blows up the roof line and up under the dome and in. not that much but enough to damage the motor, I have two of these and both motors seized up after two summers, I replaced them with a non chinese motors in the existing domes.

I have not tried it in the snow. However i have tried the snow plow and that works really well. The snow plow will release when you hit an object. The bucket will not. You might come to a abrupt stop if a speed bumb ar somthing unmovable is encountered.

I use mine to plow snow and the box is mounted above the rear tire so it does get wet. I have not had and problems.

Yes, you can run it in snow and rain. If you have it on a smooth level surface, it should not be a problem to move that distance. The handle swings out so you have a great deal of leverage when moving it on the wheels.

My girlfriend uses it with no issues. It is more the amount of snow you have to deal with. I find that it can handle about four or five inches. If you have more snow on the ground you have to work in layers

Absolutely does and so wonderfully, as long as the snow moisture content is very low. If the moisture content is high (one snow fall was) it becomes easier to use a snow shovel. Hope this helps.

We used it to move rocks and dirt - worked just fine. Don't know about snow.

Virtually none. I have used in this week about 6 times to keep up with our 17 inch snow fall. Worked well but I think I will buy a larger gas operated one soon. This works well for sidewalks, decks etc.

yes,but be sure not to drive on driveway before removing snow because machine will not remove packed snow.

I wish I could help you, but we only used it on snow. But I would think it would work on hard packed sand.

It would not work in your winters. It's not very thick or strong enough to hold snow.

I have drove it through puddles slush snow had everything covered in water and snow still no problems although I would not submerg under water its spash proof
