Hi, I'm in Brampton ON. The snow isn't that bad compared to other places (there was a really bad one like 2 or 3 weeks ago tho), but I'm the only one that does the shoveling.

I can't afford a 1000 CAD blower from Canadian Tire or Home Depot. And I don't think I need anything super heavy duty.

Just want something reliable preferably under 400 CAD. Or is that not possible?

I understand what you mean, but life is not binary and it doesn't have to always be all-in. "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." We can still enjoy good things and incremental improvements even if they're not perfect or ideal. A tool doesn't have to be perfect for 100% of situations for it to still be useful.

Obviously, you don't care for the device, and I'm not trying to convince you to get something you don't want—and I note you haven't tried. But I am saying we should (in life, in general) consider options for improvements even if they're not perfect.
