How does this handle outside-anyone tried it in dirt or snow?

I use it outside. Grass yard, gravel driveway, whatever. More stable than a regular cane. I don't have a problem, your mileage may vary.

It's works well on dirt. Great on tile, carpet & pavement. good on wet pavement but please dry off if moving from wet pavement to tile (into shopping mall) otherwise it can be a little slick. Haven't used on snow.....

AnI have never tried it in dirt because it broke, and the manuafacerors did not want to fix it. I don't recommend that you get this item.

Have only used it inside so far. We have' any snow yet, so don't know how it would be in snow.

I purchased this for my son. He is 16 and loves it. It will do spinouts in dirt and snow. It goes so fast if you take a turn too sharply it will flip it. Fast enough?

It depends on what surface your rolling it on. I would not want to roll through snow or wet sloppy ground. Also obviously how strong you are is a factor.

It has survived a full winter quite nicely. No cracking or discoloring or anything but a little dirt from all of the wind we get. We are very happy with it.

Yes, very pleased. Handles the snow great. Feels sturdy also. Can drain the oil by just pushing the handle down so the unit tilts back. Don't have to flip over.

Not sure about the snow, but I live on the gulf coast and mine is holding up pretty good! It is heavy duty and it is very nice, the picture doesn't do it justice!

Haven't used it in wet weather yet, but would expect it to do well. We have used it in snow and is was great with the liner in.

I use it on light dirt trails The tires are a little skinny for this, but it's doable. I put a tire with a little more tread on it, but I haven't tried it yet, but I expect it will be better.

I have used mine in all snow levels and conditions and it work great. I adjusted the height so it can clear snow all the way down to the concrete. When clearing 1"-2" of snow I basically use it like a plow.

Like all snow blowers (or throwers) it struggles in wet snow. Being light weight it's hard to push. Through regular snow it's fine. Except you have to push a bit then also. The back wheels aren't much help. The chute turn handle broke the first timeI used it so I have to manually turn the chute. Otherwise it's a fine machine.

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.

I live in upstate NY and have used this so far 2 times in snows greater than 6". I have yet to have a problem. Yes it does bog down in the wetter snow types and I am sure it wont throw it as far but it beats it doing it by hand. I can cover an old 100' driveway single wide in less than 20 mins. I can not adjust the depth other then paying attention to the angle I hold the handle. The real thick snow pushed there by plows at the end of my driveway did challenge this thing but slow and steady and you'll slice on through. The up side to this over the gas type is no maintenance, no up keep, not as heavy and a lot less $$$ I live in upstate NY and have used this so far 2 times in snows greater than 6".

Was caught out driving when snow began to fall pretty steady, in Alabama, yeah haha... had to pull in the first parking I came to and park it. No matter how much I babied the throttle it would just spin and hardly move. Tire grip is terrible in snow as well on wet pavement. Although durability is great. Never a flat or pressure problem.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.
