Just bought this in Nov 2010 and have used it 4 times in December already. It worked great on the driveway and the 100 foot cord (I have a long driveway) wasn't a hassle like I thought it might be... but you have to organize how you are going to clear the driveway so the cord won't be in the way. It's not as loud as the gas powered ones. DO NOT use it when snow is more than 6 inches so you may have to do it a couple of times before it stops snowing if you are going to get a lot of snow. Also, it doesn't do well with "heavy wet" or slushy snow (2+ inches) - it didn't shoot it very far but with 1-2 inches or less of heavy wet snow, it still did okay. It was easy to use - right out of the box and the only thing I had to do was hand tighten the handles. I did spray the blades with silicone so snow wouldn't stick (like I do my snow shovels) and that worked well. Sometimes the chute would vibrate and move while I was using it but I need to take a look at that because I bet that I can tighten something to prevent that from happening but I'll do that when it warms up a little! It was on sale ($174) and had free shipping!
