A lot depends on the sort of snow you usually get and how soon you get to it.
Light fluffy snow blows away on it's own in a light breeze but if it stands for any time or if it is a little heavy with humidity it can be difficult to shift with even a good steel shovel or scraper. 8 inches or a foot or more of snow packs with the weight of the snow above particularly if the temperature isn't very cold. My favorite snow removal tool is called Janet. Sometimes a little slow but don't need an extension cord or to carry gasoline.

I want to find more about this one. Looking around there was a Toro for $35 that had a 7 amp motor. I then found a black and decker for $69 that had a 10.2 amp motor and it had a 230 mph wind velocity. I think it would do the job. I was never a black and decker fan but this unit sounds pretty good. In additional to cleaning the snow from the steps I would like to clear an area in the yard for Micah my guide dog. Next week I will contact b&d for their thoughts.
