We got one for my dad a few years ago, and he loves that thing. It was $900, but probably the best gift me and my siblings ever teamed up to buy the old man. IIRC, I got it at Jed's Equipment. It was a Toro, but it was a nice one, not one of those little pieces of crap for $169 at Canadian Tire. It's about the size of a lawnmower, and it chucks snow halfway across the street if you set the chute to do so.
Starts every time, is self propelled, and saves his back and his heart from unnecessary exercise, as his house is a big corner lot with a long, wide sidewalk.
I think he actually enjoys doing the walks now.
