I've used the snow barber for 3 winters and love it. The best feature is how the snow barber slides over the snow when you push up. You don't need to lift the thing except to get it on the roof. When you pull, it digs into the snow.

Then you get to see the next great part. On a regular snow rake you have a problem if you dig too much snow. It packs and then you have a major problem. With the snow barber, the head frame digs into the snow and the snow is held by the poly slide. If you got too enthusiastic, the extra just slides off the back and you remove as much as the plastic slide holds. When you reach the edge of the roof, the snow keeps sliding right off the plastic.

I don't know what the other reviewer did to bend the frame. I suppose if you repeatedly slam the frame against an ice dam, you can break it. You can break it by driving over it too. duh.

I'm 62 with a bad back and can't imagine using anything else.

We bought this today at a local hardware store and the metal frame bent after the first use. We intend to return it.
