Hi, I'm in Brampton ON. The snow isn't that bad compared to other places (there was a really bad one like 2 or 3 weeks ago tho), but I'm the only one that does the shoveling.

I can't afford a 1000 CAD blower from Canadian Tire or Home Depot. And I don't think I need anything super heavy duty.

Just want something reliable preferably under 400 CAD. Or is that not possible?

If you have to leave your house for your job or other responsibilities, you may return to find the snow is over the mouth of that shovel. I guess I'm biased because I'm young and able bodied. Screwing around with that electric shovel would probably take me twice as long as just shoveling it.

    I understand what you mean, but life is not binary and it doesn't have to always be all-in. "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." We can still enjoy good things and incremental improvements even if they're not perfect or ideal. A tool doesn't have to be perfect for 100% of situations for it to still be useful.

    Obviously, you don't care for the device, and I'm not trying to convince you to get something you don't want—and I note you haven't tried. But I am saying we should (in life, in general) consider options for improvements even if they're not perfect.
