SubzeroHopkins 16621 Ice Crusher Ice Scraper (Colors May Vary)

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!

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.

Finally was able to use this when it snowed in texas the beginning of year, glad I bought.

When I was a teenager, I was given a really nice AAA ice scraper. Someone “borrowed” it last winter, and I never saw it again. And AAA no longer sells the thing.So I bought this. I found it comfortable to use, and it did a really good job of removing thick ice from the car windows.

This scraper has been great to have through the winter months. I have used this for two winters and it has been great to be able to quickly clear off my windows with this scraper. The width of the scraper helped make things quicker along with the shortness of the product helping me feel more comfortable when I'm scraping everything off. I'm excited to keep this in my car for years to come and this will be a product I intend to keep for a long time.

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.

Best scraper we have ever had! And it arrived just in time for the big winter storm of ice/sleet and snow this weekend! I am buying two more...one for each family member.

Thankfully, my partner uses this more than myself but I honestly have such a hard time holding it. It's a bit awkward, thick and just overall uncomfy for me. I have smaller hands than my partner so I believe it's more on me with the discomfort.The tool itself works fine and for the price I believe it is fair for what you get.Would I find myself purchasing another one? Probably not.
