I love innovative new products, which is why I bought 2 Eva Solo Ice Scrapers, and was ok paying the premium price for it. The problem is that I didn't realize how SMALL they are.
Certainly the scraper end is about the size, if not a little larger than the scraping size of a traditional ice scraper, but the device itself is smaller than a fist. That's great for portability, but I'm sure when I want to clear my windshield I would have wished for a bigger handle.
Also design doesn't meet practicality - It's got a metal handle without any gripping rubber. So 1 - not something you'll want to use without gloves, and 2 - something that could slip out of your hands.
Also, I actually expected the scraper to fold INTO the handle, but it folds to the outside of the handle. More pictures online would have been helpful.
All in all, I'm not disappointed in the product, it serves the purpose I bought it for - to have a very small ice scraper in my coat pocket, or door pocket that I could use quickly. Will it hold up to a few winters? That's yet to be seen.
Pros:
Portability/Compact
Innovative Design
Lightweight
Fits in your pocket
Scraper size is large
Cons:
Metal handle without grips
Handle is short
Device doesn't "Lock" in place when open
Expensive
I think a second generation device could address all the cons at the same price point, and would make for a fantastic product.
