People use conventional ways to remove snow from driveways or yards, or hire professionals to handle everything for them. But things can be easier if you find a better way to do it. This principle also applies to handle snow in winter. Here we discuss some tips that can make snow removal tasks easier.
Most of the people use salt on their driveway after it snows, not before. Because people don't want to depend on the snowfall predictions that sometimes don't come true. If you put salt on your driveway before it snows, melting will begin right at the moment of snowfall. This is because when snow falls on your driveway, the salt underneath will start to melt it.
Putting salt on the driveway before snowfall has two main benefits:
It doesn't mean you can put aside your leafblower until the next season just because all the leaves are gone from your yard. Your leaf blower can be a perfect tool to clear out light and fluffy snow easily. If you didn’t try before, don’t hesitate to have a try.
It will be much easier if you clean the snow before it builds up a big pile and forms into ice. Always clean the fresh pile of the snow instead of waiting for the snow stops falling if possible. Cleaning the snow again and again will make things easier for you. The more snowfall, the heavier it gets. So, cleaning snow before it builds up can be a good option to consider.
Shoveling is the first thing that comes to mind when you see a snow pile on your driveway. But shoveling snow is harder than you think at first. Heavy snow can be dangerous to lift especially if you or any of your family members are aging. Follow the tips below to reduce the pain when shoveling snow.
Snow melting mats can be another snow removal method for personal properties. Plug the outdoor mat into any 120 V or 240 V outlet, then it will heat and clear the snow for you. These snow-melting mats can save you from the burden of cleaning your driveway during snowstorms.
A great solution to remove the snow this year can be a snow cleaning robot, Snowbot. It is able to clean snow from your driveway automatically without any hassle. It's a safe and environmentally friendly robot. Can throw snow 5 meters away in any direction. Older people can also use the robot without going out in the cold weather. Using your mobile app to let Snowbot do the snow removal work all on itself, or using the joystick to control Snowbot to clean any shapes and sizes of driveways.
The one that is available on the market is called Snowbot S1, a beta testing version this year. You can join the beta testing program if qualified. If you are approved to test Snowbot S1, you will get a FREE Snowbot S1 Pro next winter.
Snowbot S1 Pro is the upgrade version of Snowbot S1, features auto-charging (optional), bigger battery, and more improvements based on the feedback of Snowbot S1.
Investing in a smart snowblower robot can be a great decision because robot like Snowbot is evolving to make life easier and do heavy task for human.
]]>Mostly the children and the young men and women happily step up to take charge of cleaning snow from the driveway or yard so that older members of the family don't have to do that. But what if your aging parents who live far from you and you can not take care of the snow in winter? Here we find a few ways to get rid of the snow for your parents.
Various volunteer groups in local areas offer special assistance to senior citizens and disabled residents who are unable to clean snow by themselves. You can research local charities and church groups that are offering volunteering services aiming to help older people.
Programs like cleaning snow for senior citizens are common in any snow-affected city.
The local government frequently organizes special programs targeted at senior citizens and helps them. They often provide senior citizens with the opportunity of free snow removal services. Searching city government's websites, you can find a list of ways to know about programs or volunteers who are engaged in helping seniors.
There are professionals available who are trained to remove snow from driveways or yards. Snow removal service has prices and estimates for different residential areas and you can check it out on their website.
If you are thinking about hiring a snow removal contractor, be cautious because there is a high chance that you may fall into scams that take advantage of the elderly. When an able-bodied person isn't around, the contractors may work less and demand to pay a lot from the elderly. Even sometimes they do not show up and ask for payment upfront to prepare for winter. So, before hiring a contractor for your snow removal work, check thoroughly about the professionals and the reviews about them.
If you think the ways mentioned above are risky or not trustworthy, you can think about getting snow-melting mats. Snow melting mats are usually slip-proof and can be set out for the whole winter season. You or someone voluntarily can set up the snow-melting mat for your parents or the elderly of your family.
If you are searching for a proper, safe, and eco-friendly solution for your parents, snow bower robot Snowbot is the perfect machine for you. It is the first snow blower robot in the market that can be controlled by mobile phone and joystick.
Currently, available Snowbot has an autonomous navigation system which enables automatic path planning. That means the robot can automatically set the cleaning path and start working accordingly. Setting the positioning beacons is all you need to set to let the robot know the cleaning area.
Snowbot S1 Pro which is estimated coming next winter (winter 2022) can recharge itself when it is run out of battery. That means, Snowbot will go back to its docking station to recharge itself. Older people can also use the joystick controller to drive the robot as needed. The dedicated team behind developing the robot is committed to making the snow removal simple, safe, and satisfying.
You must be worried about your aging family member who lives far from you especially in winter, and the snow that can be dangerous sometimes.
You can choose whatever way fits you for your parents. Above mentioned ways can all be set in motion but Snowbot is the intelligent solution for your snow removal work. Getting a Snowbot means ensuring your parents face less risk when the snow starts to fall.
]]>So, removing snow from your driveways and sidewalks is not what you want to do, but what you have to do.
When it comes to removing snow, you must be recommended with many methods. But what is the best way? The answer is it depends because the type of snow, and the area you need to remove snow are different for different people. Let’s talk more about dealing with your snow.
Shoveling snow is a task most people don't like to do delightfully but shoveling comes first when you see a pile of snow after a snowfall. Shoveling is a labor-intense task that can cause health issues. Muscle injuries, and bone fractures are common issues while shoveling. But heart attacks are the most dangerous concern while shoveling. Selecting the right shoveling equipment can help you reduce the chance of any injury.
The cheapest way to get rid of snow is using hot water and some mixtures in it. In a bucket, combine a half-gallon of hot water, about six drops of dish soap, and ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol. After you pour the mixture onto your driveway, the snow and ice will melt.
A snowblower is a machine that is guided by a user behind. There are many snow blowers in the market. For example, gas snow blower, electric snow blower, and snow blower robot. When you choose a snow blower, the following factors should be taken into account.
A compact size machine is easier to move and store especially in tight spaces.
Snowblowers that come with safety features and control are safer for you and your property.
A perfect snowblower can work quickly on smaller driveways and walkways.
While operating the snow blower, you have to give your valuable time cleaning the snow from your driveway rather than spending time with your family.
While cleaning snow with manually operated snow blowers in the market (gas or electric), you will be exposed to freezing temperatures, snowfall, or cold wind. That can cause discomfort even health issues.
Regular snowblower and its maintenance can cost you more than you anticipate. Battery-powered snowblowers are cost-efficient than gas snow blowers.
Now in the market, gas snowblower such as Ariens Deluxe two-stage gas snow blower is quite popular. It features a 28-in clearing width. And the company claims that the machine can plow through all kinds of snow conditions.
In the electric snow blowers market, Snow Joe iON18SB-HYB 40-Volt iONMAX Hybrid is considered famous. Most electric snow blowers are single-stage. These electric blowers are best for light, and fluffy snow. They can have clearing widths up to 24 inches and intake heights up to 13 inches. So as to the efficiency, electric snowblowers are not that efficient as gas snow blowers.
We are here now to discuss the smart snowblower robot.
we are heading to an era where AI and machine learning is taking over the hardworking task we did with our bare hands before, and I must say, those days are over now. There is innovation in every aspect of our life. Why not in cleaning snow?
Snowbot is the solution to autonomous snow blowing. It is designed and developed by Hanyang robotics. The team is working on revolutionizing snow blowers that we knew before.

40th governor of California Gavin Newsom has signed into law a ban on new yard tools with small internal combustion engines. The California Air Resources Board has already started working on a rule to implement this. A lengthy process is expected to be completed next year. But the law Newsom signed removes any doubt, ordering the agency to apply the new rule by Jan 1, 2024.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one hour operating a lawnmower is the equivalent of 11 hours driving a modern car. The environment is currently a big concern all over the world and if you are contributing to emitting pollution in any way that could have been avoided, you must find a solution right away.
Thom Carter, the executive director of Utah clean air once said, “Instead of using a gas-powered snowblower, look to switch to an electric-powered snowblower." According to Carter “During an average winter season, someone uses their snow blower about 8 hours. The equivalent vehicle miles traveled for that, is 2700 miles. That’s like driving from Los Angeles to Miami. It’s a lot of miles; if we can remove those out of our air shed, we’re doing good work.”
You may have several snow removal ways in winter, such as, using de-icer products, pouring hot water on snow, installing a snow melting system where a heated area is created, manually removing snow with shovel, and using a snow blower machine.
The ways without using gas-powered machine is relatively environmentally friendly. But taking efficiency into account, using a snow plow machine is better. If we keep environmental concerns aside, manually removing snow or shoveling snow can cause injuries and even death. The Washingtonpost reported that snow shoveling results in about 11,500 injuries — including 100 fatalities.
So is there a way that is environmentally friendly, efficient, and safe? The answer is absolutely YES. The expert's advice is to move from gas snowblowers to an electric ones.
Except the snow plowing ways briefly introduced above, here comes the best choice till now you can make - Snowbot S1, the world’s first snow blower robot for family which is battery powered and loaded with advanced technology like AI and autonomous capabilities.
If you have decided to give up the shovel and all the manual work you need to do every winter season, please don’t hesitate to get a Snowbot. Snowbot S1 is now available and ready to roll on yards and driveways to free you from the hassle of shoveling or manual plowing.
Apart from that, if you order Snowbot S1 this year, you will get a new Snowbot S1 Pro, the upgrade of Snowbot S1 with more new and perfect features, next year ( winter, 2022). But the stock is limited, only 70 pieces available by now (Oct. 25th, 2021). Please be hurry.

Also, high-intensity exercises will cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. With the increment of heat dissipation and inhalation of cold air, some people will feel uncomfortable and those feelings may be due to the cardiovascular and heart disease, which is a hazardous signal from our bodies. Usually, it is not an option for the elderly or people with heart disease to remove the snow by themselves.
Snow removal can be considered an intense aerobic activity, which is a good exercise when the weather is favourable and with appropriate methods. However, most of the time when people are removing the snow, neither condition is satisfied.
The temperature while shoveling snow is usually around 0 degrees Celsius. When working in such a low-temperature environment, our bodies are warming and sweating but the frigid weather makes us feel cold at the same time.
With the increased metabolic ratio and respiratory discomfort, having a cold can only be considered as the slightest symptom. Also, with intense physical exercise, breathing with the nose does not meet the oxygen demand. People usually breathe using their mouth, inhaling cold air that directly stimulates the throat and may cause respiratory infections, sore throats and coughs.
Putting excessive weight on our arms due to the large amount of snow can lead to an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. When the weather is extremely cold, you are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease such as fatal MI. Furthermore, an unreasonable amount of weight will cause muscle strain of the arm.
According to the research on Winter Heart Health by MetroHealth, individuals that should avoid snow removal work are:
● People with a prior heart attack
● People with heart disease
● People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol
● Smokers
● People with a sedentary lifestyle
If you are at risk during removing snow or you do not want to take the risk, is there a way to save you? The answer is yes since snow blower robot Snowbot is available now.
Snowbot is an autonomous snow blower machine that can do snow removal work all on itself. Without cold outdoor activities and heavy work, all you need to do is stay at home and relax. It can provide you with the most enjoyable, and hands-free snow removal experience.

Autonomous Snowblower
There are several reasons why one might prefer an Autonomous snowblower, so let's take a look at the advantages. An Autonomous snowblower is lighter and is usually more compact than a gas machine. This makes them easier to transport and they won't take up as much storage space. Autonomous snow blowers aren't as noisy as their growling gas counterparts and won't upset your neighbors as much. They also require very little maintenance, so this will save you money and hassle in the long run. You also don 't need to mix gas and oil or pull on a recoil starter every time you want to use the snowblower. An Autonomous snowblower starts instantly, with the push of a button and you are good to go. Take the example of Snowbot. A fully autonomous snowblower that works without any manual interaction.It has its dedicated app to do the task by getting commands from its user.
Future robotics goal lies with the ease of using machines. Autonomous snowblower such as Snowbot is the one solution to that. There is another type of Snowblower that is corded. Using a corded electric snow blower will restrict your movement – you're limited to the length of the extension cord that you're using. Electric cords will also snag on obstacles like plants, rocks, and garden furniture. But the electric corded snow blower is a good option if your budget is low. If you are looking for a totally cordless and automatic machine to clean your driveway or yard, Snowblower like Snowbot will be the right option to choose. Another upside of the autonomous snowblower is that it can work when you are not around it means, you can command it to start or stop working while you are away.
if you need to clear large volumes of heavy snow, a cheaper machine, if you live in an area that experiences heavy and frequent snow storm then gas Snowblower is the right choice for you.
In the case of power, the gas engine can provide much power than the electric or autonomous snowblower. A gas blower has quite a bit of maintenance to consider, both when preparing for the winter season, as well as during the time it is in use .
Unleaded gasoline and oil must be changed regularly, as well as maintenance surrounding spark plug cleaning and / or replacement. You also should check belts, pins, the paddles, air filter, and bolt tightness while in use, as well as before the start of the season.
The fuel system should also be regularly maintained. The gas snow blower is best to move large amounts of snow with only one pass.
Most chutes can also be pointed into chosen directions and also have adjustable heights to get the snow out of your way. Unlike electric snowblowers with cord, you can use gas snowblowers anywhere. With some advantages, gas snow blower also has lots of disadvantages that you will not see on Autonomous blowers like they are loud, bulky, and heavy to use. They also almost all start with a pull start system, so you have to be able to exert that kind of effort to get the motor started.
Let's talk about the Pros and cons
Gas Snowblower
Pros
Variety of size
Can clean heavy load of Snow
No electric cords
Cons
Needs regular maintenance
Loud
Bulky
The extra cost of oil and gas
Not eco-friendly
Hard to store anywhere
Autonomous Snowblower
Pros
Lighter in weight
Do not require gas or oil
Quiet in action
Can work without any manual interaction
Eco-friendly
Easy to store anywhere
Easy to start
Can work when the user is not around
Cons
May not able to handle the heavy load of snow
Need recharge
May overheat
Final Verdict
Your best choice obviously surrounds the type of work you need to get completed. Limited areas of clearance in climates that have a lower snowfall would benefit from an autonomous version. Climates that receive regular heavy snow, deeper snow and properties that need more than 2100 square feet of clearance are better suited to a gas blower.
If you are suited to clean snow from your driveway manually and in your presence, then gas snowblower will be a good choice. But if you need a snowblower that can clean automatically and give you a satisfactory result, then choose an autonomous snow blower for your next winter. Everyone wants to experience new technology in all aspects of life. Autonomous Snowblower like Snowbot from Hanyang Robotics brings you that advantage.
