At the $100 to $300 price point they are garbage. When you spend a bit more they are fantastic, warrantied and last a long time. For example, we carry two different models that are 20' long by 11' wide in the $549 - $599 range and you will get 7-10 years (or more) out of them no problem.
On a good unit you will have to brush the snow off exactly never. I have a display unit set up on Barlow Trail on the boulevard where it is basically a wind tunnel and have never had a problem.
