This is a great product. My wife and I purchased this item for a trip north, and west. Even though we hardly used the "dozer", it was worth having our "yellow mellow" in the trunk.
The "IceDozer" clears the windshield perfectly before defrost. Not too heavy and conversely not too light.We would recommend this modern day scraper to anyone contemplating the great outdoors in February,somewhere near Canada or even north of the border. Happy traveling...next winter?
The IceDozer gets points for the ergonomic grip - it fits nicely in your hand and has a place for your other hand to grip in order to add extra pressure on the scraping end. It has nice weight to it and feels like it's really going to do something. And on thick ice, I think it probably works very well (I haven't had to test that theory yet). I also like that it's made in the United States.
Where it loses points is in its ability to scrape very thin ice or frost. It's worthless on frost - even heavy frost. It claims to have a 7" wide flat scraper that easily plows a wide, clear swath of windshield at a time. No, sadly, it does not do this. I tried every angle. It has lots of teeth that make lots of thin scrapes all over your windshield, but then you need to go back over it with your other flat scraper (the cheap one you got at the grocery story for $1.95). It would help if the scraping blade were metal or at least flexible, sharp plastic. The blade that's supposed to scrape a wide patch is dull and inflexible, so it doesn't conform to the slight curve that every windshield has. At best, it would cut a 2" wide swatch occasionally and with no predictability. This one is going in the trunk for the next severe ice storm. Other than that, it doesn't serve my needs.
