AVALANCHE! AVA300 Original Roof Snow Removal System With 17-Inch Wide Cutting Head & 16-Foot Quick Connect Light Weight Fiberglass Handle

Comment: If you need a real roof rake, get this one. Effortless removal of snow. Works great. Only problem if windy which causes the plastic to flop around.

Comment: After a blizzard, our roof had 3ft of compact snow on it. Typical roof rakes were taking hours. Neighbor had one of these and w/in one hour, the entire roof was done.

These are amazing!! Tackles the job of cleaning off the roof with half the effort of a typical rake.

Two gloved thumbs up here in the cold Midwest!!

Comment: The box arrived damaged. Some of the hardware was missing and the frame bent. The damage was minor and easily repaired. The addition of washers was required to prevent the wheels from scuffing on the frame.

Once assembled, the product worked as advertised. I like the fiberglass pole. It's a clever idea and works pretty well.

Comment: I love how this brings down heavy, deep snow quickly. Only draw back is if there is a strong breeze (makes the plastic sheet curl up)and you have to stand a long ways back from the house making it difficult in a tight area, say next to the neighbors fence. But it works way better than a roof rake, easier on the shingles.

Comment: I am a single woman who owns a 2 story home in upstate NY and we have had TONS of snow this year. I had a new roof installed last summer and was told NOT to use a traditional roof fake because of the liklihood of damaging the shingles. After investing 9K on a new roof I was not about to ruin it the first winter. I ordered the Avalanche after Christmas and its now the end of January. The Avalanche was easy to put together and is much lighter than a traditional roof rake. The HUGE problem is it falls apart every time I use it. The plastic sheeting is already torn. The first time I used it the little plastic guards on each end of the pole slipped off. After putting them on a dozen times, I finally left them off. Yesterday, January 30th, the whole thing fell apart. Every screw, nut, bolt, whatever you want to call them, is now either on top of the front porch roof or burined in the snow below. In order to use this again, I will have to take it to the local hardware store and get the parts. I'm not a happy camper.
