| Drive & Handling | Auger-propelled. The rubber-edged auger contacts the pavement and tugs the machine forward, which is why it weighs 34 lb rather than 100. | Pure push unit — at 34 lbs it steers like a lawn mower, with 6-inch rear wheels and an easy-fold handle for storage. The 180° chute adjusts via a handle-mounted crank, dual LED headlights cover pre-dawn clearing, and there's no cord to fight — just watch the battery gauge. |
