Ice Away Snow Melting Mat

I coupled Cozy Ice-Snow mat with a remote controlled outlet to melt the snow and ice outside my basement door. The snow will block my seldom used storm door from opening and now it stays clear.

Works great, just wish they could be connected or larger. This is my third one. Had purchased two other ones in the past. One stopped working after a few months but the company was awesome about how to return it and get a replacement. I now have one by each of my exterior doors. They do keep the ice melted but you will have a water puddle until it has a chance to evaporate. The snow and ice only melt on the threaded area so the edging still gets ice buildup especially if the water puddle is large enough to leak out of the center. All and all worth it though. Even my dogs like standing or sitting on it in the cold when we are waiting for the other dogs to finish going potty.
