Really good on paved surfaces

I finally got to use this after the first big snowstorm. I'm really glad I had this snow shovel. It made cleaning my walkway and driveway so much easier. This shovel has a lot of power, feels strongly constructed and durable (as far as plastic goes). It goes through fresh fluffy snow like it's nothing, and is even able to throw a couple inch deep slush from the curb after the municipal salt and plow trucks have piled it up at the driveway. There is no directional control for where the snow gets thrown, it goes straight out, but you can use either the wind or holding the shovel at a slight angle to throw it off to a side instead of in front of you.
