From what I read, wet fluffy snow is hard for all snowblowers, just have to have more power to push through.

When I was using it last night, I was wondering why it was only throwing the snow 6 feet. Then I remembered the throttle control was at minimum. User error.

They have models that have self drive as well. But yeah the entry models don't, and work best on flat level driveways. The manual warns about gravel half a dozen times to print damage to the auger/paddle/chute and such. So you'd want a fairly clean driveway too
