By Tom Calder

No longer recommended

We no longer recommend this model, so it no longer appears in our buying guides. In its place, we now recommend BEEWAY Ice Scraper – Wide 13cm TPU Blade in our Winter driving kit guide.

Our verdict · Researched
3.8 / 5

A straightforward, no-frills scraper that does the basic job for very little. It won't out-perform a wider or metal-edged scraper on a big windscreen, but it's cheap enough to keep two or three around so you're never caught without one.

Best for
A cheap spare to keep in every car for frosty mornings, alongside a proper de-icer
Skip it if
You've got a van or large 4x4 windscreen and want to clear it in one go

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • Very low cost — easy to keep spares in every car, coat pocket or bag
  • Soft-grip EVA handle stays comfortable to hold in cold weather
  • Built-in rubber edge clears water as well as ice

Worth knowing

  • 90mm blade is narrow, so a large windscreen takes more passes
  • ABS plastic blade edge will wear faster over years of heavy use than a metal one

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

You've got a van or large 4x4 windscreen and want to clear it in one go — a wider scraper or a snow brush/scraper combo will be quicker.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the UK price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
