I bought this in preparation for snowfall. 12+ inches fell and I had a chance to use it in real world conditions.
It is supremely useful when used to push snow off my SUV. When fully extended, I can reach the entire width of my vehicle and can push everything off the hood and windshield from one side. I have luggage racks so I push the roof snow back a bit from the front, then stand behind the car and pull it all off. I then pushed off the bit of snow on my side panels, rear window, and bumper. It took perhaps 60 seconds to clear over a foot of snow off my car.
I has a few small annoyances, though. The threaded head attachment means you can't put any pressure on the head from the side or you will unscrew it. I tried to use the corner of the foam to clear near my luggage racks and bumper, and the head would start twisting freely.
The headlight function is also not very impressive. After dark, it is barely noticeable when powered on and I ended up holding my phone flashlight in the other hand instead. The switch to turn it on and off is very easy to bump around as well, and I found the lights on twice already while this was sitting inside my car. I also had a lot of difficulty purposely turning the lights on with gloved hands. I'd say save the couple bucks and don't bother with the LED lights.
Also, using the ice scraper on the opposite end is kind of annoying with the foam head attached. I ended up detaching the head to use the scraper.
Overall, it is the best snow removal tool I've purchased. Other things have come close like ice scrapers with rotatable heads, but the stiff foam of the Snowjoe is much better suited to this task than the nylon bristles of a standard scraper. I was originally looking for a pushbroom to put in my car, and this turned out to work so much better.
