Not for short people with tall trucks :)
I received this as a gift. It works really well on my car as I can reach the window with no problems. It is hard to use on my truck though because of the angle of the grip. I can't put enough pressure on it to make it remove ice from my truck. It is great for removing the ice off of the wiper blades. I would suggest this for car owners but not for anything taller than your average family car.

Not very durable...
I got one last year, and the blade had chips in it by the end of the year. It still works well but there are gaps that don't get scraped in one swipe. Also the handle isn't very long, so if you are shorter than me (6'2") you might not be able to scrape your whole windshield.

Tricky
This item is difficult and tricky to use. Also heavy to handle.

May be good if ice was thick but as a general snow removal/ice removal implement for the vehicle (every day use) not that good.

Ice Dozer is great, but it's not an ice breaking system
I bought this on a whim (in spite of the reviews) in order to combat the 6-15 inches of snow and 2-4 inches of ice we get about once a month now that global warming is freezing my butt off. That was four years ago and it's still going strong.



The first thing I noticed is that it's plastic. Plastic is not made for you to bang on the windshield and really crack through 4 inches of ice. My solution was to run the car with the defroster on high for 10 mins, which forms a layer of water under the ice.

Once that's finished I just walk out there with my IceDozer and chip at the ice by scraping at the bottom driver's side corner with force. After about 5 or 6 chips (using the corner of the dozer) the ice shatters and runs off the windshield like it's supposed to.

Works like a charm and my kids love the huge 4 ft long sheets that fall off and shatter on the ground.



Also, I read the reviews about the handle breaking toward the rear. I've found that if you push with the front (top) handle and drive with the rear (yellow) handle then it doesn't stress the long plastic of the handle and even performs better since you can bear down on thick ice better from the top handle.



So sure, it's plastic. But it's fourteen bux. I guaran-dang-tee you won't find a better ice moving toy for that price that protects your hands, lets you transfer power to the ice, and covers the square footage this thing does if you use it like I do.





Awesome for ice! Not so hot for snow
I bought two of these, one for myself and one for my wife. I don't regret it for a minute. For frost and ice, I've never had anything work better or easier. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't do very well with is big fluffy snow. The detachable brush works fine for clearing the snow out of the cracks on the doors so it doesn't come into the car when opening the door, but doesn't do very well when clearing away snow. I prefer my long handled brush for that, but it doesn't hold a candle to the frost and ice removing ability of this. If it cleared away snow better, it would have been a 5.
