... enjoyed the use of this outstanding product - it works! At the time of this writing an early storm has arrived blanketing everything in 15-20 centimeters (7-10 inches) of snow. Everything, that is, except a 3 foot square space outside my front door where Ice-Away mat has kept the snow completely melted. Our Ice-Away mat is now working into it's second winter and it looks and performs like brand new. Last winter I put Ice-Away electric mat to the test during light and heavy snowfall where it proved its worth melting snow and ice repeatedly. The ample 15 foot power cord is heavy, durable and easily tucks out of the way. The mat itself is likewise rugged and sits down well and stays in place. It's heavy and flared at the edges to secure a sure footprint. The mat stays put doing it's job as an ice and snow melting sentry either 24-7 , or, just turn it on as required. Either way it'll serve you well for years to come.
