Reviewers have found that this tool is "durable and effective" at removing snow from cars and trucks, as well as from other household structures like awnings or outdoor solar panels. Despite being "super light," it is still able to remove snow from surfaces.

One person wrote that this snow broom is "great for large vehicles" as it "removes large amounts of snow at once."

"The best I've ever had for cleaning off the truck," one person wrote, while another called it a "must-have if you need to clear snow off a vehicle."

"An essential tool for the winter months," writes one customer, nothing that it's "reliable and efficient."

While reviewers have loved this snow broom's effective design, they do note that the LED lights are too "weak" to provide much use. If you are hoping for greater visibility, one shopper suggests that simply using a "flashlight would be much better."

As heavy snows approach, you'll want to stay ahead of the season with a quick and easy way to clean off your car. The Snow Joe LED 4-in-1 Telescoping Snow Broom + Ice Scraper makes quick work of heavy snowfall even on tall vehicles.

Though effective at removing snow, you'll just want to make sure that if you do purchase this snow broom that you might be better off keeping a flashlight on hand than relying on the built-in LED lights.
