Electric Snow Shovels

[MidgeD79]

Has anyone ever used a Toro Power Shovel Plus (they're on sale at Target for $89)? I live in the city and I have adriveway about 50 ft long and then some sidewalks. I must clear the sidewalks off because of city ordinances and I do the driveway for my own reasons. I don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars for a snowblower if an electric shovel does the job. Any input would be helpful.

I had one when we lived in New Hampshire and I loved it. I can never get the big gas one started and it's heavy. The only problem with the electric is that it really doesn't handle massive snowfalls. You have to do it several times - but that's only when you get 8 inches or so.
