Its inventors insurance claim that, in spite of its fairly underpowered motor, it keeps the driveway remove even in heavy snowfall; the trick, apparently, is that the robot continuously screens the amount of snow on the driveway as well as springs into action whenever a considerable however workable layer has developed up. Unfortunately, the I-Shovel is still a prototype, however with any type of luck you’ll be able to really purchase one soon. If you’re impatient, of course, you might always try building your own.
