I live in Canada and I can tell you its no fun to have ice on your windshield every morning. You spend 8 hours sleeping, 2 hours driving to work and then you are scraping your windshiled for another hour every day, thats a lot of useless hours out of 24 in a day. I am lucky that I have an indoor parking and my work is convenient but I am very excited to buy this electric ice scraper. It’s a life changer…I just wonder if it really is faster than the traditional scraper
