I've seen a few videos of this thing in action, and while I like the concept - especially that you can use the same device to mow the lawn too with the lawnmower attachment - it's still quite painful to watch it work.

Especially with snow blowing, it's just so disorganized: driving all over the place and making quite the mess. If I'm dropping 5k on an automatic snow blower, I don't want to have to clean up after it.

5k will go pretty far with the neighbor kid too.

Come on kiddo, the $5k is in my basement next to the snow shovels I’ve collected.

I'll take the cheap knockoff version that works better than this original (though worse than the current model) in ten years
