Product Description
The Sno Wovel wheeled snow shovel is a fast and safe alternative to shoveling. With virtually no effort, this snow shovel can throw snow without twisting or lifting. The wheeled shovel design greatly reduces the risk of back and heart injuries associated with snow shoveling. The Sno Wovel revolutionizes the mechanics of snow shoveling - outperforming many snow blowers and is 3x faster than shoveling. It is environmentally clean, quiet, and maintenance-free. The Sno Wovel multiplies mechanical force and leverage at the axle or fulcrum point of the 35-inch wheel. With a seesaw action, it's possible to throw twice as much snow as a traditional snow shovel into piles over 4ft high. Great in all snow conditions, from slush to over 2-feet (and especially for heavy) snow. Made of heavy gauge steel and injection-molded polypropylene, the Sno Wovel can move up to 2-feet of heavy snow with their 26-inch extra wide blade (and even slush). The frame, wheel and tire are warrantied FOR LIFE, durable yet lightweight and easy to maneuver - performance tested by professionals and consumers around the world. It's simple to assemble, comes with a DVD video guide along with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. A top U.S. ergonomic research center independent study (Univ. of Mass.) verifies using the patented wheel-based technology results in a 3-4 times reduction in lower back stress and cardio exertion vs. conventional snow shovels, greatly reducing strain, risk of back injury (comparable to simply walking). Anyone can use the wheeled shovel and it is fully adjustable for body type and size. Maintenance-free, the new Sno Wovel features a unique Folding Frame for even more convenient frame adjustment, storage and portability. It stores easily and can hang flat on the wall like a shovel. Accessories; including Gravel Wheels, a Chipper Plate for ice and packed snow, and an advanced composite Snap-On Wear Strip to extend shovel life are available.Similar Products

I like clever ideas and I bought a wovel several years ago. It was unique and fun to use on the first snowfall but on the second snowfall I discovered a major problem: it doesn't actually throw the snow very far at all, just a few feet. You quickly build up a berm all around your driveway and then you can't throw the snow over it. Every year I pulled it back out to try it again, but I have never been able to get it to throw snow more than a few feet. Last week I decided it was just wasting my garage space, and I dismantled it and tossed it in the trash.

This product makes the thought of snow fall fun. My back was saved. Very easy assembly instructions and the video was very helpful.
Will recommend this product to my friends.

I bought the wovel after seeing how many positive reviews it got. I read many of these reviews and have not much to add. I put the shovel together in less than a half and a hour. Watched the video and after about two hours of using it I was throwing snow like a champ. I did buy the weather strip which was easy to install but was a little anoyed that the shovel didn't come with it. For me this shovel is almost as effective as our snow blower which just wore out this year

I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and, as you may know, this winter hasn't been kind to us. My wife and I recently moved into a new home and our driveway is about 75 feet long. The first two storms were killers for us. Shoveling 18+ inches of snow took forever. I saw this product in a very old "Popular Mechanics" magazine while in a doctors office. $100 as opposed to an $800 large snowblower? Sure...why not? I have to say, the product works very well. I was able to clear the driveway and sidewalk in about 45 mintes from the last 2 storms! (Granted the wind blew a lot away, but I was still left with 10"-12") I even started after our neighbor began plowing with his tractor and finished before him (although his driveway is a bit longer). Assembly is not that bad, just be sure you secure both ends of the tire around the frame and stretch it as you fit it over the rim. My only major complaints are that the wheel rim is plastic, but no biggie there as it is fairly compact and high strength. The Shovel is also plastic and I would have liked to have seen it be made of metal to accommadate the frame and handle. You do need a little momentum to toss the snow, but it works very well and saves your back. It has a thin profile when disassembled into it's two pieces for storage and hangs easily in the garage. I would definitely recommend this as a great alternative to an expensive, space consuming snow blower.

I ordered late last spring this not knowing at all if it would work, but wanting a green alternative to the snow blower. I had no idea that I would need it this much -- the winter of 2010 has dumped more snow the Southeast New York region than usual. Nevertheless, I am able to clear out the driveway so much faster with the Wovel. The sidewalk is a breeze -- it takes minutes (and I do my neighbor's for the heck of it). I can move more snow than I thought possible. And it's a great work out! Dare I say it...I actually enjoy shoveling snow with the Wovel. Even so, I am hoping for spring. Thank you, Wovel inventors!
