I don't know the owner, but I do know that the wovel is extremely effective with snow falls of less than eight inches. It isn't great on packed snow, but if you can get out before pedestrians it is a great tool that completely relieves stress on the back. Used it for three years now. The product works. If you don't like the owner, write him a letter. I have degenerative lung disease so a snow blower is not an option.

If it worked for a couple of people... Well, who is to know. I live in a place with a lot of snow, and this thing is available for sale - but not for demonstration. I've yet to see one, so I still think this thing is silly. Nobody else is clamoring for one around here either. My point was and still is more geared around the messed up marketing tactics.

I searched the web for reviews and there are hundreds, most really positive - 40+ on Amazon alone, with real names vs anonymous rantings (with no specifics about the product). I used one now for two seasons and havent hurt my back yet and cant say enough good things either... seems like the dude above just has an axe to grind..and what are the odds that two such people write an entry on one site..and BOTH within SAME 24 hours?…. sounds orchestrated. hmm gee sounds familar..I guess “they” didnt have to search far to come up with the idea of trumped up “reviews”… I searched the web for reviews and there are hundreds, most really positive – 40+ on Amazon alone, with real names vs anonymous rantings (with no specifics about the product).

i don’t know who mark is, or give a blank

bought one about 5 weeks ago

am 60 plus years old,
there has been lots of snow here in detroit
it works well at moving lots of snow
without breaking your back

it is not perfect
in tight places
it is next to useless

takes a bit of time to learn how to handle

if mine were stolen tommrow
i would go out and buy another

be sure to get the wear strip
and yes for what they charge
they should include the wear strip

yours truly mac

He's screwed a bunch of people out of money and rubs it in their face. I would NEVER buy anything from this guy. The wovel or snowovel is crap. I know the owner Mark and he’s a real piece of work.

I was provided a review model because I was hired by the company to do contract work (to write training and marketing copy among other things). I became an expert on how the thing was supposed to work. Truth is it was incredibly awkward and worked only with light snow drifts. Forget wet snow more than a few inches in depth. The short story: The owner is every bit the shyster described by Mr. Cantin. Many of the customer "reviews" are personal friends of the owner/CEO or were fabricated by him. He will say and do anything to make a buck. He made his start-up money on Wallstreet as an investment broker (need I say more?). As you may be able to tell, I have an axe to grind with Wovel. In over 20 years, he is the most dishonest business person I have dealt with in my professional career. I am a know-it-all when it comes to Wovel.

I have owned a wovel for two years and as a woman can tell you a wheel and leverage (like a see saw for those of you like this reviewer who dont get it)..just a simple tool to solve an annoying problem..unfortunately cant get rid of annoying know it alls..
