Awesome snow thrower machine Greenworks 26032

I got this machine just in time for the biggest Minnesota snow storm in almost 20 years. I was worried that the machine was too little for the quantity of snow I had to clear from a two car driveway but the machine surprisingly worked just fine. Granted the snow was not wet but the machine threw the snow at least 25-30 feet away. The only problem I had was that the directional chute froze after I used the machine for the time. A better design would be to cover the area of the gears on the directional chute. A simple solution was to use warm water to thaw the gears. Overall I am very happy with my machine. Beats shoveling anyday. Also there is peace of mind with the four year warranty. It took a little while to receive our GreenWorks snow thrower but it was well worth it. (Was out of stock at the time and right before x-mas)
I did a little happy dance when UPS dropped it off today since it was supposed to snow bad later this afternoon/evening. I live in West Valley, Utah so we get a ton of snow here and I hate shoveling since my back is bad. Assembly was easy. Took 10 minutes at most and I was ready to go! We've had 5 inches (and still counting) and I was super stoked to try out my new toy! Works amazingly! My husband and I were fighting over who got to try it first. The cord was a little weird but we just walked behind each other holding it just in case.
Here are what I think are the pros and cons.
PROS -
It's electric and totally green so no maintaining it after winter.
Sounds just like a vacuum. Very quiet
Throws really well in wet heavy snow.
Got right down to the pavement where we haven't driven on.

CONS-
It doesn't get where your car has already drove on down to the pavement
Trying to not trip over the cord I was really mad I didn't get the snow thrower for the Dec 2010 end snowstorm which dumped 28" snow in my area in New Jersey.
About 6 hours later and with help from my wife, I had finished shovelling all that I could of the driveway, sidewalk, deck and areas near house.

So, I looked for a good snow blower/thrower on Amazon - my favorite resource. A trip to Home Depot had gas ones with good ones starting at around $700 min. Add in fuel costs, maintenance, pull to start etc. and it was not my thing. I think we need to think about protecting our planet and reducing carbon emissions. Hence I preferred the electric one. Looking on Amazon, this product had like 7 reviews at the time and all were 5 stars. Needless to say, I immediately ordered it Dec 30. It arrived with free shipping on Jan 04. Not bad at all. Since I had no snow till last night, I held off on the review. Meanwhile, this product continued to get 5 star reviews (with a strange 1 star and 2 star in the past 2-3 days ).
