Worx WA0230 AeroCart Wheelbarrow Snow Plow

So I live in an area that gets maybe a couple of moderate snow falls each winter and several light snows. This blade is great for that type of climate. Definitely not for heavy snows. Agree with one of the reviewers that said it would be nice if the blade was angled.

I don’t know how you can get excited about a device that requires you to work, but here we are. After the last few snowstorms left me questioning my life choices (and my lower back’s durability), I decided to give this a try. I was already a big fan of the Worx AeroCart, and now, with this snow plow attachment, I like it even more—mostly because it makes me feel like I’m actually in control of winter for once. Assembly was easy, and attaching or removing it from the cart is a breeze. No engineering degree required! It makes clearing snow way more efficient and takes most of the strain off your body compared to a traditional shovel. There’s even an option to adjust the approach angle of the shovel, maybe to accommodate different user heights. I just went with the angle shown in the manual, and at 69”, it worked perfectly for me—no unnecessary tinkering required. If you already own the AeroCart, I highly recommend adding this to your arsenal. It won’t make snow removal fun, but at least you won’t feel like you just survived a gym session from hell every time you clear the driveway.

This an amazing design. I should start by saying I live in Montana, and my driveway is the length of a football field, up hill and winding. The local snowplow company has difficulty with it because of its shape so I often use a shovel to work (and work and work) on it. I bought the plow blade because I already had the cart and was looking for something easier than a shovel and not expensive. The time it takes to do my driveway dropped from 6 hours to about 3 (yes, it really is a lonnnngg driveway) with this fascinatingly designed contraption. I imagine you could do a parking pad for a 2 car garage in about 15 to 20 minutes. It does a great job of "four wheeling" but you have to watch closely for rocks if you have a gravel drive. As other reviewers have noted, it is subject to damage. I hit a that was about 5 inches across when was moving pretty fast (my bad) and the arm that attaches to the blade bent. The screw closest to the ground bent and the blade twisted bending the attaching arms. I tried everything I could to straighten it out, getting more bold as the previous method failed. Finally, my 2 pound hammer sort of got it back. However! I liked it so much I am going to replace the blade. I made the mistake but I don't think the blade should have sustained as much damage as it did. Still, as I said, this thing is so cool that I am ordering a replacement blade. That way I will also have some extra parts if we have another blowout.Pros+ It really does work.+ It works a lot faster than a push snow-shovel since you have the cart being pushed by your body, not two hands on a single stick attached to the blade.+ Inexpensive (if you have the cart)+ Compared to other snow removal tools, even if you have to buy the cart, it is my belief that it is a better "deal' than a small snowblower.Cons+ Blade attachment arms at risk for bending at the arc.+ Only two screw/bolts on each side of the attachment which is not as strong as it could be. If you pops you get twisting, not just a loose blade.+ Very difficult to use on gravel surface. I should make a comment here that about everything short of an expensive snowblower does not work well on gravel. In my experience, it is one of the "less bad" options on gravel drives. Once there is a surface of snow built up, it works almost flawlessly.+ Sometimes it is hard to empty the snow from the blade when you have to pile up the snow at the edge of the plowed area.

This works GREAT! We just had our first snow of the year - only about 3 inches but it was heavy. I have a 100 x 28 ft driveway and I have had difficulty with my electric snowblowers getting heavy snow down to the blacktop so I bought this to go over it when I am done snowplowing. Today, I didn't use the snowblower at all, just the AeroCart Snow Plow. It cut through the heavy snow like butter and it was almost easy! What you can't see very well in the picture is the heavy steel "blade" type edge. It really got down to the blacktop without scraping the heck out of it.Pros: it is sturdy! I think it will be my go to for light snows. It is simple and easy to use with the AeroCart because of the handles. It is a good value - you can't get a good shovel for this price.Cons: it was a little tricky putting together. Like all WORX products some assembly is required and you must put them together very precisely or there will be breakage (like my WORX snowblower auger and main handles which fell apart when one little screw came loose and got shot into my yard never to be seen again. Advice - don't let your 14 year old put your WORX machines together. It is heavy, but this can be a pro when pushing the snow. It is also not ergonomic to "throw" the snow like a shovel does because it can't be lifted. My 14 year old won't use it because someone might actually see him use this contraption - he might die of mortification. I must admit, a few cars did slow down to take a look at what I was using to shovel with. Of course - the biggest con is you must purchase the AeroCart to use this, but I love the AeroCart as well. It is worth the $$ if you have a weak back like me.Conclusion: this busy mom loves it and was surprised that it was so easy to use. What I would change if I could: I love the AeroCart because it stands up and takes up no space in my garage. Once this plow is on, it won't stand up and it takes up a lot of space. I think it should be re-configured so it could fold up so it can stand. Surely the brilliant engineers at WORX could figure this out.
