I use what they call a shovel. good workout and it costs like maybe $30 for a pretty nice one. I'm not in an area that gets tons of snow, maybe 5 feet a year, not totally sure

do you really have one of those? what's wrong with a regular shovel?

just looked at the wovel- seems good unless the snow is quite heavy(wet) or if you have rockwalls bordering your driveway like myself

Saves your back & scoops a lot at 1 time. The big wheel does the work is a back saver.

Yikes. Where I live a few inches a year is the norm, so not too much shoveling necessary.

I'm from Ottawa Canada, where something weird is happening, for the last 2 years all the snow is going south of us and we are getting very little. 3 years ago however the snow bank along our driveways were 9-10 feet high. I just use a shovel, because my driveway is not very big, and nothing works better when we have a heavy snow anyway.

The heaviest snows are usually just south of lake Ontario anyway. Among other places, obviously. But Ottawa isn't so much downwind form the Great Lakes.

I don't ever get more than a few inches, so I've decided that my method will be to put down a plastic sheet as the snow starts, and then just roll it off to one side :)

Take a video of that Ghost - if there is an epic fail there, I'm sure it'll look good on camera!! :D

I've used a wovel, so I'll back IKE up. It really makes it so that your back doesn't hurt. I'm certainly not going to spend my scarce income on one though, so I stick to a shovel. Once I get a steady income, depending on where I live I would consider getting one though.

Thanks Tom, I bought mine in July when it was half price;)

If i lived in upstate new york and had a big driveway, i could see that being worthwhile. cool idea at least. you'd definitely get chirped for it where i live on the northern side of the great lakes, though.

@Alderian- I get that alot. our snow plow companies ran out of salt to put down on the road one year.

If you guys complain about the snow you're getting, come to Edmonton soon! This past weekend we got more snow than we typically get over the month of January.
We got around 20-30 cm.
Here is a picture I found.

Stop complaining about shovelling!

I use a blower. My grandfather was super good with machines and I worked with him a bit so I don't mind fiddling with them. Occasionally though its particularly obstinate and I have to use a shovel. That wovel looks pretty interesting though--never heard of them before. Is it metal or plastic?

Oh and where I live (CT, usa) we usually get between two (like last year) and 4 feet (like all the years before that).

@jman it's both. Shovel part & wheel are plastic, body is metal. Shovel part is like 2 feet wide. That's a lot of snow for 1 pass. More of a fling then a throw to save your back & use more of your shoulders. I don't want to sound like a commercial, just wanted to know what you used. Living in NE Ohio, we get our fair share of snow.
I have about a foot & a half I need to go shovel now.

if we call now do you add in a free one and strike through the 19.99 and say all we have to do is order with our credit cards so we can purchase them for the cost of shipping and handling? BUT WAIT there's more, call in the next 2 minutes and we'll add this one of a kind Wovel Spray, it keeps your wovel wheel running like new, but thats not all, use it on bikes, cars, stoves, or even your next door neighbors dog!!!
Caution: Wovel spray is not intended for human use, this is not a toy, keep away from stoves people, dogs, and open flame. Keep out of reach of inlaws.

Looks nice, but... $130?!?!? Umm... no thanks. I'd drop maybe $30 at most on it.

Having said that, I work my back out regularly (rowing machine), so after I use a shovel... my back doesn't hurt :P

We got a solid 20 inches of snow today, and I was VERY happy to have a blower. haha
