SNOWPEELERNext-Generation Snow Removal Roof Rake

Worked great, removed tons of snow from a low sloped roof with no major problems. The only issue we had was with installation. The small brace brackets didn't both line up with the holes and we had to make some adjustments. Still a great product for a very snowy year. Powder snow was a piece of cake to remove. Heavy wet snow was harder work, and frozen snow took some effort to work the frame through. But it held up nicely and is ready for the next few feet of snow. Spendy, but worth the money considering we sleep better at night knowing the roof won't be coming down on us.

We absolutely love The Snow Peeler! It was very easy to assemble and I was surprised how solid and well built the product was in comparison to other roof snow removal tools we have tried. We live in Northern Ontario and have had a large amount of snow (not as much as NFL) but enough that aprox 3.5 feet had accumulated on our roof. The head of the tool was able to cut through the packed snow with relative ease and then it just slid right off the roof on the attached tarp. The bottom of the head has 2 plastic runners that glide along the shingles to prevent any damage. The Snow Peeler did become a bit difficult to maneuver when the handles were at the full 20ft length but that was an easy fix by choking up on the handle when repositioning it. All in all we could not be happier with this purchase.

Works relatively well for my roof. I have a very slight pitch to my roof, so there is no way I can do this from the ground. I have to get up on the roof and stand on the peak of the roof to use this. Sort of backward from what you see in the videos. But, if you push it from the peak to the edge of the roof, once it gets to the edge, the snow begins to slide off. Much, much easier than shoveling a roof. I am in my 60s and do not look forward to shoveling a roof when I am 70. This gives me an alternative. We have large sheets of ice that come off the roof in the spring causing a gigantic pile in my driveway. We have a son who needs to enter and exit via a wheelchair lift and the large pieces of ice prevent access to the wheelchair lift. So once that ice comes off the roof, he is trapped inside. This helps us to keep the snow at a minimum on the roof so far. First year I am trying this, and hope that it will help with the snow and ice situation coming off the roof in the spring. I had to modify the snow peeler a bit to keep the plastic sheet from bending and having the snow slide off the backside of it to one side or the other. I put a piece of PVC pipe on the end to keep the loose and straight and bungee cord it to the pole. Today will be the first day that I try that design out. Will try to remember to post back.

Short answer: works perfect. Took 18” of snow off my roof quickly. Study, will last a long time.Long answer: maybe I didn’t read well enough, if you have a second story buy 40ft or more depending on you roof. Wish the description had given some advice. I guess I could have went outside and measured, but who does that? So I ordered the extension pieces. 40ft is not light. I did fine, but I thought I would say it. Wielding something that long can be a struggle. Take your time. Don’t slam it on your roof. It will be tempting to drop the rake in place, especially the further you have it away from your body. Was worth it for me. Snow roof removers around where I live charge up to $500 and hour as of 1/20/2023. If you are able, this tool may save you a little money.

The product was well kitted with all parts and quantities identified in the assembly instructions. I found it very easy to put together. I used it at my cabin. It was easy to use and cut the snow into blocks that then came off the roof with ease. I did not attach the slide but that was just my choice. I would recommend this product to anyone that needs to remove snow off your roof.
