I'm looking for a hot air device to melt the snow and slush from my snow thrower. Hot air guns don't have enough fpm air flow. This looks like it has that, but I'm wondering how WARM/HOT the air it produces is?

It does get a little warm but I would have to say not warm enough to melt the snow. Hope this helps!

How high and far does it throw a dry/light snow and a wet/heavy snow? How dry is dry <gr>blows snow way out. The snow pattern is not concentrated like from agas snow blower. Greenworks snow spreads out as a thin covering over area 10 to 30 feetin front of machine. Wet slushy snow piles up a feet in front. Wish this model hada deflector to send snow to side. This winter I bought a 22 inch Ariens self propelled snow blower for heavy snow. It is a lot more workto use. Turning and plowing reverse direction and plow back is a PIAI am Very pleased with this little GreenWorks 26012 12". I am accustomedto plowing crisscross to put snow to side of driveway.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

I am using mine as I'm writing this (SNOW storm in Atlanta for cryin'-out-loud!!!) on my 2007 Silverado and it has always done a perfect job in the snow...or icy conditions. I'm very happy with it!!

No my son uses it. He works for Loomis and has no issues at all he just loves how powerful it packs a huge beam for such a small size. I have the big brother of it and it does not get too hot to hold even being on for an hour. on high setting. But I can just say to me it just gets a little warm with mine it puts out 600lumens on high. And that one just gets slightly warm too my hands after an hour. Then I have to use my backup battery. I would suggest as well to get the tenergy battery kit that comes with 6 batteries. Awesome deal and great batteries,I think they are just as good as putting in a new set of Duracell. I hope this helps. No my son uses it. He works for Loomis and has no issues at all he just loves how powerful it packs a huge beam for such a small size.

I had this pump at the top of my waterfall. That point down the bottom of my pond is 7' 8". Huge volumes of air came out of this pump. I had four 1/4" hoses coming out of the pump and some of the runs on the bottom of the pond were in excess of 14 feet from the pump outlet. This pump is rated at maximum of 100 F. I live in AZ and the temperature can reach near 120. Even before it broke 100, the plastic air distribution unit melted. The motor runs very hot. It would cut out during the warmest part of the day. It finally just quit working during a stretch of 115 F days. It was always operated in the shade. I had this pump at the top of my waterfall. That point down the bottom of my pond is 7' 8".

MTD scraper? I don't understand the question. What this picture is showing looks like the rubber flapper that throws the snow. You need two. The scraper bar is a white plastic bar that mounts on the bottom front of the blower and scrapes the pavement. I wear thru one of those about every two years. I have only replaced the flappers about every ten years. This snow blower is 30+ years old. Still runs fine. (S-200 Toro)

it obviously is not as strong as a medium priced gas snow blower. most problems are associated with it's low profile in a snow over 12" deep and it struggles in wet snow. however it got me through winter of 2013 and was a great improvement after shoveling by hand. didn't have any overheating problems. a good machine over all.

Because you can flip the blade so it will angle either right or left depending on where you want to push the snow there is not a rigid joint between the handle and the blade. When you push down on the handle it does not lift the front of the blade. That being said I love mine! My driveway has the usual "joint cracks" when it was poured and it does fine. I have a couple that are raised and you learn to go across them at and angle and it doesn't catch. This works great with lighter snow of course but I have used it on 4 inches and I am a almost 60yo female. What I like is that you can go out every couple of inches and clear it quickly so it doesn't get ahead of you. I also have a snow blower so I will push the snow to the side with the snow caster and then just make one pass with the blower down either side so I clear the entire width of the drive. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't blow hot air. But I have another Conair product that does, and I like that too. It has a bigger barrel though.

Oh I absolutelyove it! Had no problems with the motor or metal shavings as some reviews mentioned. I used bagged ice, ice from my ice maker on my fridge, whatever I could get my hands on. Ice always came out like SNOW! :) I used this for our snow one stand, and it was a hit! I mAde over 200 snow ones in an hour and it worked liked a dream. Only downfall was the water wouldn't drain correctly, so my ice would get watered down. :/ I simply leaned my machine forward slightly (drain is in front) and pointed my hose at a bucket. Would DEFINENTLY recommend this!

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.

We have only had powdery snow so far, but my husband loves it. Watch demo videos on You-Tube to get an idea of how it works.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

I'm going to answer you straight forward, the way the one I have works is, I plug it in to a extension cord. I plug the extension cord into a 110 - 120 volt outlet. On the handle of the snow blower you press the button on the left side of the handle and then pull the trigger. The one I have throws snow around 10 to 15 feet straight in front of the machine. I hope this helps, if your doing all this and it isn't working send it back.

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.
