Ok... I know it's just a snowbrush, but when you live somewhere that you need a snowbrush why not pay the extra $15 over a basic snowbrush bought at a convenience store. Imagine it's February AND you just worked 10 hours but your car was parked in the elements all day so now you have to remove 4 or more inches of snow from your car before you can drive home, believe me, you will be extremely glad to own this product.
The large brush size, along with its sturdy bristles makes removing large amounts of even heavy snow easy, effective, and efficient. I was skeptical that it would work very well on wetter/heavy snow and I can tell you it does. The squeeze on the opposite side is definitely nice, and if you can add a feature that doesn't take away from the device or its other more used pieces why not. The ice scraper is extremely effective, I have never had an issue with it and the average temp where I live was 15 degrees, with low temps consistently in the single digits during January.
I have a newer model Subaru Outback and when I originally purchased this model I thought it would probably end up being longer than I needed but it's actually just about perfect I rarely extend it all the way but use it often at almost full length, and yes the fact that there are, I believe, 6 length settings you can lock into place is very convenient.
The only thing I gave 4 stars was sturdiness because when you do use it at full length and the snow is heavy it will bend a bit and because this is my first winter with it and I would like to see how it holds up after a couple of years. Also, I forgot to mention the padded foam around the main handle which is a great comfort feature. Also once contracted to its smallest length and moving the brush head position parallel to the handle it is a reasonable size you can fir easily in your trunk or backseat floor. I know I'm not going to be breaking it down into its individual pieces and putting it back in its bag each time I use it haha.
For the cost, especially the cost, it will provide you real-life time saved, ease of use, and quality that makes this something any car owner should get if they live or spend time in winter conditions during the year. I 100% advocate for this product model!
