If I was trying to get by as cheap as possible I would only own one of these Suncast Big Scoops, a cheap plastic snow shovel for around doors, and a steel garden shovel for ice.
But I have bought two Wovels and am a bit addicted to them.
http://www.amazon.com/Sno-Wovel-Wheeled-Snow-Shovel/dp/B001I7JWTO
I use my Wovel in combination with a sleigh/scoop shovel and steel shovel almost never using either alone unless in a hurry dealing with a snowdrift over part of driveway that blew in overnight.
I seem to be purchasing and experimenting with many types of snow shovels. Including a Toro electric 1800 snowblower, a gasoline MTD two stage snowblower, a Wovel, and a Garant poly sleigh shovel. I constantly experiment with them to find which best fits which situation.
This suncast big scoop is a little more rigid (has more support ridges and flexes less) than my Garant sleigh shovel. The garant has longer handle and a deeper scoop. In fresh (not days old with tire tracks) powder snow I grab the Garant first. If I am going to make snow ramps to dump snow over the snow piled at sides of driveway I grab the Garant for its longer handle. If the snow looks a little abusive (some compressed snow) I grab the more ridged Suncast big scoop and dump the snow at the side of the driveway to later throw it up on the usually two foot snowbank with my Wovel. If the snow is packed a bit firmer, with tire tracks across it, I use the wovel to move the snow across the drivway also.
When the snow is really deep I grab the gasoline snowblower and get-it-done. Usually the wind is blowing the wrong way and the cloud of snow and the noise is just a necessary problem. Up in my area of North Dakota's Badlands we get maybe three storms of over 8 or 12 inches of snow per average winter?
So I paid 800 dollars for a gasoline snowblower that is only really necessary three to four days a year in my area. And I have neighbors who are retired farmers with old farm tractors in back yards that love to volunteer to clear old peoples driveways. I just refuse to consider myself old just yet.
I plugged in my Toro 1800 yesterday, first time for this winter, and tried it on a three inch deep strip of snow on the cement part of my main driveway. It cleaned it so quick and easy I immediately unplugged it and put it in back of garage. Maybe I will be old enough to use the little Toro on easy snow next year? The cement part of my driveway is the least of my problems right now and I do not want to get dependent on motorized devices just yet.
Because I repeatedly drive on (pack down) the first six or eight inches of snow at the start of each winter, to form a hard one or two inch base layer over my gravel part of driveway, the cute little toro 1800 electric might do the whole thing? Perhaps when fresh snow is about 4 inches deep I will get to that experiment. And I will be trying my Toro electric with it sitting in my Suncast big scoop over the gravel part of driveway. More on that later.
With our soil up here freezing down to about four feet deep, and our temperature can stay below 32 degrees for three months, my packed snow base is pretty safe. Except in drought years when snow evaporates into our dry air never becoming water until the final spring melt, after which snow is no longer an issue.
I have two double wide driveways to two garages, one of them seldom used. Both driveways are gravel and in winter they become one Y shaped driveway with grass in the center of the "Y". Grass wraps up in the little electric. I never think ahead to mow it before winter sets in. The little Toro is way to cute to abuse anyway.
The gasoline snowblower is time consuming to first fire up and later to clean snow off of and to put away.
And I need the exercise. People who sweat on occasion live longer. But when I first need a trail to my back door in over a foot of snow the Gasoline snowblower gets used.
Last week I wanted to deal with several inches of blown snowdrift on trail to back door. Getting lazy I filled my Suncast big scoop with snow and pushed it in front of me to partially pack down the snow making it easier to walk on. It slides nice.
So there are numerous ways to get exercise value out of moving or dealing with snow, while being as efficient as possible.
On my cement two car passenger loading pad, with only one inch of snow I overlap the blades of cheap 12 dollar (?) plastic push shovels and holding them in a V shape clear it off quickly.
For most snow conditions, heavy wet, compressed by tires and such I use my wovel. If the snow has not set too hard I also use the suncast big scoop. When it is really deep I use my gasoline snowblower. For the mound at end of driveway left by the county snowplow I use my Wovel. If it has packed to almost ice I use a steel garden shovel to break it up first.
I see mentions on these reviews where someone complains about a polymer (modern plastic) shovel cracking or chipping on ice. I know of no Ice Fisherman who tries to cut a fishing hole in ice using a plastic drill or plastic pick. I break serious ice in spring drainage ditches with a steel pick. Less serious ice I use a steel garden shovel. I assume that that person was in a hurry and hit the ice accidently?
These snow removal things do what they do very well. Move snow, not break ice. One should only abuse any of them if one can afford it. I try to walk gently and cheap through the process.
But to be honest I was trying to abuse the Suncast the most wanting it to break before the longer handled Garant. It never did break shoving it roughly in packed snow, meanwhile I got pretty attached to it again. I am sure I could break if really trying but that was not the point. I just wondered if the new polymers were anything like the plastics of my youth in the 1940's. No, the new polymers are nothing like the old plastics.
I connected two "BackSaver" handle extensions to my Suncast big scoops handle to make it longer.

It works very well.
This only assembly is to remove the two wing nuts and bolts from the handle and extend the handle, replace the hardware and tighten. Basic instructions are included on the label that is stuck to the scoop. The two adults using the scoop are 5’5” and 5’10” and the handle length is comfortable for both of us to use.
The only small complaint is that although I attempted to carefully remove it, pieces of the large label stubbornly stuck to the plastic scoop and refused to peel off until I used a product to dissolve the adhesive. The scoop seems to be well made and is performing as expected.
Once you get used to scooping, sliding and dumping snow you'll never want to shovel again. It takes a bit of practice but once you realize that you never lift the scoop it almost becomes fun.
One of the best benefits is clearing off a roof. My deck has a covering that is not too steep. Works great for that. Same with my garage. A friend has a ranch house that is also easy to clear. Once I found the right boots to wear I had no trouble sliding the snow to the ground. I try not to scrape the granules off the shingles which means leaving a thin layer of snow. That can be slippery.
We just had a huge snowstorm (Buffalo, NY) and even for the 5-6 ft drifts I was the envy of my neighbors. Chopped down a manageable chunk, scooped it up and slid it to the ramp I created in the front of the house. The light weight of the scoop and the non-stick surface really made a huge difference. It was also the best tool on my neighbor's roof (small ranch).
3.5 stars is probably more accurate. Why? First, the price. I paid $40 in December 2011 which I thought was a little high. Now it's almost twice that. In the past I would get lucky and find some other brand for around $25 locally. Home Depot and Ollies occasionally had them. The cheap models lasted about the same amount of time as this Suncast. Once the metal strip comes off they are pretty much done. The Suncast has a better design for the strip.
Second, I hoped it would last longer than three seasons. It won't. Two full seasons and one big storm is about all she wrote for this one.

But drill a few extra holes on the handle would work, no matter is for taller or shorter people, the problem solved.
The quality is great, not much effort for heavy wet snow.
I read the reviews of the handle being too short and really it is.
Standing up straight at 5'11" it digs/scoops well (better than most actually thanks to the high angle of attack and front blade design), but to get it to slide as smoothly as my old similar shovel once it's full, I've got to bend over quite a bit and it's pretty uncomfortable; The height of the handle top while "sliding" is about 5" lower than my old one. It's not the biggest problem with it since I can just extend or bend the handle, but until I do that I'm going to keep using my old cracked shovel instead to save my spine.
The big problem is just how badly snow sticks to it.
I don't see anyone else complaining about it so maybe it's just the one that got shipped to me?
I'd get to the edge of the driveway and have to tip it over and beat on it to get 5-8lbs of snow unstuck from it. I went back to using my old one to see if it was just especially sticky snow today - nope. A quick jerk and the old one cleans out nearly 100%.
I rate it 3 instead of 2 because the actual plastic shovel part and the metal edge strip seem really thick (hopefully durable) compared to some I've seen in stores but I can't give it more than that given that I'll need to modify the handle and wax the scoop before I can use it as easily as my old one.
