Subzero Ice Scraper,7 in. L,Foam Grip,Blue 16621-1 Each

I live in an area where we have never had snow and only a few times of the year get frosty windows. I purchased this for those few times originally, but was somewhat bummed when the frost left before I got a chance to use it. Well, last night I found an alternative use for it. We have a chest freezer that needed to be cleaned out because lemon juice leaked everywhere! After talking about it a while- the idea popped it my hubbys head of using the scraper on it instead of waiting for the freezer ice to melt and having to toss all the food in the freezer. It took less than 10 minutes for the ice in the freezer to be scraped off all 4 walls and the floor of the freezer. We then used a trash bound box as a soup to scoop the ice up and trash it followed by wiping the ice free walls and floor of the freezer with a wet rag. The freezer is 3 years old and has never been cleaned or thawed because it seemed like a daunting task- the whole process took about 15 minutes with the both of us for a freezer large enough to fit a whole cow's worth of meat. I am very pleased with this little ice scraper. I had a different gas station one years ago when I did live where it snowed a lot, but that one was so big, bulky, and flimsy, that I tossed it when moving to warmer climates. This little gem, however, is very sturdy and doesn't give way. It is also compact enough to leave in a car kit at all times- snow or no snow. The ice of our freezer was really built on thick and a pain when we had to move racks, and this little puppy went through it like it was nothing. I am very pleased with this purchase and I think it will work wonders for when our frosted windows season starts again next year!

Have used many winters and counting ever failed.

This ice scraper gets the job done. - The blue in the photos is a rubber-ish grip that's a few millimeters thick, so it's comfortable to hold onto. - The flat end of straight and rigid, no problem scraping off thin ice. - The ridged end is useful if you need to get the scraping started in thick ice If you have a large vehicle, like a big truck or SUV, this probably isn't the best ice scraper for you because it's only 16 or 18 inches long. To scrape across a wide windshield, and not lean into the snow/ice on the side of your vehicle, you probably want something longer.

Not that I have been through many, but this is by far the best window scraper that I have ever used. I feel compelled to offer a disclaimer at the beginning of this review: I do not live in New England or the upper Midwest. I live in central North Carolina, where a few inches of snow is a major event. So my primary use of this scraper is nearly always going to be for frost, not snow. Nonetheless, the times that I have had to use it this winter have been as effortless as ever. Normally, I let my car run with defrost on for several minutes in the morning, then scrape with a really cheap scraper. That usually still takes a little longer than expected and I still have a difficult time not having small streaks of frost that linger. Since I've been using this scraper, the job is effortless. All of the frost is cleared away in no time without streaks. This morning, I even used it without letting the car warm up on defrost first, and the effort and result were no different. The foam handle is very comfortable and helps some to keep the coolness off your hands. The frost scraping end is very thin, which is a reason why I think it is so effective. It also is longer than most cheap scrapers, so I am able to reach 2/3 of the way across the windshield with no problems. For my purposes of clearing away frost in the morning after cold nights (will probably use it on a few inches of snow 1-2 times per year) this scraper does as good of a job as any that I have used. My needs when it comes to scraping car windows are generally very mild, but I would still highly recommend this item.

Worked well for my Mid-Atlantic wintery days. Removed heavy frost and light icing quickly.

I am glad I got this Subzero Ice Crusher, but so far, we have only had snow so I have not had an opportunity to try it out. It is exactly as advertised on Amazon and feels great in my hand. I believe it will really make a difference when the ice comes, which will be soon.

Came with a small chunk of the padding on the handle already coming off. That's about the only negative thing I can say about this, and that small missing chunk hasn't even affected my grip of the handle in the least. The product has been very effective and felt good to use overall, especially for the price. I suspect the first thing that will fall apart in the future will be the rest of the handle's padding, but no more of it came lose during my use of it this winter. As is I suspect I'll get at least a couple more winter's use out of this before the padding coming off could become an issue. And honestly, there's a decent chance I end up somehow losing it before that even can happen anyway. To be fair usage-wise, my climate isn't the most extreme so I don't have to scrape off tons every day, even for the couple of months where I need to use it. So if you live in the far North of the world this may not be ideal for you, but at that point I imagine going for a more expensive and fancier scraper (whatever that would entail) would be well worth it anyway. For me, this is perfect and I'm glad I can get something that meets my needs so well for such a great price.

The thing about living in an area that almost never sees ice is that you're never really prepared for it. Our cities and counties won't spend money on road clearing equipment that will sit unused, snow (and snow chains) will only ever be seen on TV, and you never really think about having to scrape ice off a windshield. But over the summer, I was reading an article about things you should always keep handy in your car, and an ice scraper was one of 'em. I thought back to a couple of years ago when a rare hard freeze was coupled with some rain, and I remember having to wait forever for my defroster to wear the windshield ice down enough that I could wipe what remained off and finally drive to work. So I figured I'd grab a relatively cheap scraper and pride myself in being the only one prepared the next time it happened. And sure enough... Then about a week ago, I walked out to my car to see the windshield covered in what I thought was just a thick layer of dew. As it turns out, the sun had melted the somewhat thin layer of overnight ice off of just about everything -- except the fronts of cars that were parked in the shade, including mine. All stupidly excited, I grabbed my ice scraper, jumped out of the car, and had my windshield cleared in no time at all. It's a sturdy tool that can certainly clear more than what I had to deal with that morning, but it was such a good thing to have on hand as I pulled out of my parking spot, seeing my neighbors trying to clear their own windshields with credit cards and defrosters.

Very good product. Exactly what I needed for the cold mornings. Very light and the handle makes it very easy use

La verdad el sitio donde trabajo hace que todos los dias amanezca con hielo mi carro, compre esto con ilusión y afortunadamente ha funcionado increible

This thing is a champ. My line of work had me constantly dig for windshields to look for VIN numbers in the frosty ice and snow in Canada. It never let me down and it cleared windshields very well. Small side to break down the ice and the wide side to clear the snow and ice. Would buy this again in a heartbeat.
