Im a 43yo male, and this thing makes it fun to remove snow from the roof. My kids love it, they try to get buried by laying down under where Im using it. I love how it can launch the snow a few feet away from the house, it all doesnt build up right next to the house. I use it on a single story ranch house. I bet my neighbors think Im strange about how much my kids and I were laughing when we used it a week ago. I needed some support from the company 2 years after I purchased it, and they were super helpful.
