Does it have enough power to plow 1 inch of snow

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.

yes, took it to the park with my son and it runs great. Has all wheel drive so was able to go through a pile of leaves that was 6-8 inches high with no problem.

I plow (steel blade touching ground) and run my snow thrower over lawn in Northern Minnesota and within two weeks of the grass starting to grow (early summer!) it is unnoticeable. I'm not sure how it would work on unfrozen ground.

Make sure to remove snow before it gets to 6 inches. It is a single stage and does not do well beyond 6

PM85, I think it will be fine for the job, but maybe not the exactly what you're looking for. It's not too hot (like a 1875 watt hairdryer) where you can't hold your hand up to it, but warm enough to melt snow. The blowing force is strong enough to knock off any snow or ice.

The shovel can pick up more than I care to lift. It's very wide and sturdily built. It did relieve strain on my back but the load still has to be moved. In this case my shoulders will get tired after a while. We had two big storms with in a few days of each other. After the snow plows went by on each day the snow was very high on the end of my driveway. I was able to get the yukon under the edge and tilt it back, however that time I could hardly slide the sled. I would consider that example extreme and wouldn't hold it against the yukon. One trick I've been using is spraying the bucket and the bottom with wd40 or vegetable oil to help with expelling snow. The unit was so big that I had to take it out of the box to get it in my mini van.

There is a little effort required to push but should not be a problem. I have only used it twice so far but the snow blower threw about 6-8 inches of snow with ease. I have always used the electric start so I don't know the effort required for a manual start in cold weather.

Even the least expensive model will do that as they all basically use the same motor which is over 1500 watts. That's enough power to take ice and turn it to powder llike snow.

It does ok in 3" of snow on 4 wheels. I have not hauled anything heavy in grass, but moderate weight it is not to bad it move fairly well in the upright position haven't hauled anything on all 4 wheels.

Yes, it has more than enough power, but, it would be slow. You would be better off with a hammer drill.

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.

I plug my Toro snow thrower into an outlet in my garage. No problems. I don't own a power shovel but I can't imagine it would be that much different.

No ! Just enough power to blow dry leaves from your driveway. Disappointed in the power.

This item works well on paved driveways and sidewalks for snow about 1-6 inches deep. It's pretty powerful and proven to be reliable over the last 2 seasons. Small peebles on the driveway won't mess with this much but I wouldn't use it over a gravel driveway.

No. This shovel is not designed for large tasks such as that. It is suited more for small campsite tasks such as digging out a firepit, creating a small latrine, or digging a solar still. If you are worried about getting stuck and need a good shovel, I suggest investing in a good snow shovel. I have this shovel and live in WI where getting stuck in the snow is a definite possibility. I would not even think of trying to use this small shovel for that task. Hope this helps in your decision!

It doesn't have a very strong blow but it does ok on pine needles, I've never tried it for snow. Might be ok for light snow.

I really don't know but it will lift the Can Am snow blade with no problem!!! I am very impressed

I use it for portable. It uses 5.6 KW so it does use a lot of power in real cold weather.
