 With a simple, easy conversion, the Power Shovel Plus converts to a power broom for year-round use. |
The Toro Power Shovel Plus is two tools in one: an ultra-light snow thrower and power broom. In shovel mode, the Power Shovel Plus can clear 300 pounds of snow per minute, which makes it perfect for quickly clearing snow from decks, walks, and patios.
When the weather is warmer, just flip it over, change the rotor and use the broom feature to clear leaves, dirt and debris. This handy model converts from Power Shovel to Power Broom in minutes, and it's wholly maintenance free -- with no gas and oil to mix. Simply plug it in and go! This electric tool weighs just 12.5 pounds, so the Power Shovel Plus is much easier to maneuver than a bulky gas unit.

I never thought that I'd enjoy shoveling 24" of snow, but I did!
I am surprised so many people wrote that it is easier on their backs. I have a bad back and bought this for clearing off my deck. It isn't much easier on my back than shoveling. The only real difference is you don't have to lift the snow and dump it, but you still have to push it, and this shovel weighs 13 lbs. Add the weight of the snow and it is still hard work and tough on my back. Especially with wet snow.
My other major complaint is it doesn't work well on uneven surfaces, like a deck, brick sidewalks, or grass. (I tried shoveling a path on the lawn for the dog but it was almost impossible and VERY hard work.) It's useless on steps... just use your shovel on them.
BTW, it would be nice if it had a built in cord, like vacuum cleaners, but you need to purchase an outdoor extension cord to use this.
Given the above shortcomings, if I had to do it over again, I would probably not purchase this. Its benefits are minimal and do not outweigh the cost.
