How does this do with 1-2" of Snow? We live in an area that gets lots of snow sometimes but I often need to clear a few inches.

It leaves a small layer ~ 0.25 inches on the surface. I would pass on this unit since it is poorly made. Mine had problems from the start, such as the electric starter quit working the second time used. The pull start stop working a year later. It is near impossible to start after the first season. The plastic parts, break off after the first week, such as the snow chute and gas cap. I hope this helps you in your decision.

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.

This blower is overkill for 1-2" of snow but it would certainly handle it. It's a heavy machine however so a lighter duty blower would be easier to use with that small amount of snow.

So far I've not had to bother with clearing just an inch or two of snow--the sun comes out or it rains soon after and the snow's gone. I'd probably not bother getting it out with a little snowfall, so I really cannot give a good answer.

Definitely. If the snow is very cold, light and fluffy, it will gobble up to 10" at a time. You also can lift it up, or tilt it up to grab a top layer, then go back in for lower layer/s.

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

I used several years ago, maybe 24 inches of snow on roof. Biggest problem I had was keeping from being covered with snow that came off the roof. Unit worked great. Very pleased with it. Used on 2 story house which meant I had to use a ladder to reach the highest part of roof.

It works great on our new this year cement driveway. Just don't want the snow to get too deep. It is so quick and easy to clear, if it looks like a big snow I'll just clear when it is 3-4" and then again later when it piles up again. Best way to clear snow with a lot less effort than shoveling. Glenn

I live in CO, not only do we have snow, we also have ice. It works great on both.

It all depends on how deep and how wet the snow is. If you're trying to plow an inch of slush, yes, it clogs easily. If you're plowing 5, 6, 7 inches of "fluffy" snow, you should have no problem. If most of the snow in your region is heavy & wet, you'd be better off with a larger, heavier duty model. Hope this helps. Whatever you decide, good luck.

It does leave a little snow covering where you blew, I am happy with it. Very easy to use. I just wish the wheels where adjustable so I can raise mine up a little. I have and asphalt drive with a lot of cracks and I have to be careful not to get any debris sucked inside it.

The cold I can speak too, but the snow only to a certain degree... The unit has managed fine in sub zero temps, and due to the completely insane weather in the NE this winter it has managed well during temperature swings of 40+ degrees on a day to day basis.We've only gotten a maximum of about 6 to 8 inches of snow and its handled that fine. The slope of the lid helps a bit as well. Not sure about 2 feet...

we live in Colorado with good snow, the only issues I have is in 1 or 2 areas but for the most part, they work great, would recommend

I've had this 7 months, so I don't know about 2 ft of snow as we haven't had that number in total during one storm. So far, it has taken the zero temps, but again, I don't know about below zero as we've only had that in wind chills.

This works great on my driveway up to 3 inches if it is a light snow. On heavy snow, it is hard to push. I do not have sidewalks so I can not help you on that question.

we get snow a few months out of the year and ours has been outside the last 2 seasons and is holding up well.

If it is dry, fluffy snow, it will clear it down to the pavement without a problem. If it is wet snow or the snow has been compacted, such as when a car drives over it, then it might not.

This thing is amazing, it's been up for two really rough winters here in New England! This past winter was unreal, it held six feet of snow till we could reach it with a roof rake, still strong as ever... highly recommend. Ours is on a cement slab.

I have recently removed snow 10-12 inches deep of my neighbors roof. Because of the way the unit is designed the cutting blade went through the drifts no problem. I had people stopping and watching 10 feet of 10-12 inch slide off the roof like butter. I was concerned at first with how deep the snow was. This handle both the whole house and his garage quickly and with ease. I've used it several times. It gets five out of five stars from me.

Dan did a great job of answering your question. Keep an eye othe temp.....there are times I still need to add snow to keep it around 80
