- WAReviewerBe the Envy of the Neighborhood with this Shovel!This is an excellent snow shovel that always gets compliments from my neighbors—every time I use it, someone asks where they can get one! The second handle is very ergonomic and really helps save my back when lifting and tossing snow. Sturdy, well-designed, and makes clearing snow much easier and more comfortable.
- CmanGreat invention to cut your work load in half!!Awesome shovel to launch snow and ice with no effort. I’m impressed how good it works. I cleaned the hard iced-over snow pushed in my driveway apron from city plow trucks in minutes. Does require effort but cuts your labor in half.
- Brandy ButlerExtra LeverageGreat shovel. Works well for what it's designed for. The extra small handle at the top is genius, and gives you a lot more leverage, saving on backaches. We bought it last winter and will continue to use it as long as it holds up, which doesn't seem to be an issue.
- KristinExcellent shovel, especially if you're weak!This shovel is perfect! I'm 5'2", 110lbs with no discernable muscle. Using this shovel is so easy, even for me, even with wet/heavy snow.
The only negative is that it came with a strap to help the shovel lay flat in storage, but it wasn't clear upon opening that the strap should be kept. I did cut it and realized only after looking at the manual that it's supposed to be kept intact.
Not worth lowering my review, but just a note to others reading this. - many moons mechanic.Good quality , good well built shovel. Tried many and they all snap into pieces. Not this one.Yep. great quality and did not snap into pieces like various others. Try it, you will most likely like it. Seriously , you will really like this one. It did not break into pieces even when shoveling heavy. Just shovel the snow and its strong and lasts. The little handle makes it almost effortless with big loads of snow too !
- SethKeeps you from destroying your backI can't say enough good stuff about this shovel. In the Pacific Northwest, we've had occasional snow days, but nothing significant enough to need a shovel—until about four years ago when we started getting serious snowfall that would paralyze entire cities (because we don't have any equipment or experience dealing with snow.) In preparation for more regular snow, I bought this in 2019, and thought it might get used once or maybe twice. I've used it multiple times to dig our household out of major (by PacNW standards) snow storms and it does an amazing job every time.
It's lightweight so you don't get exhausted swinging it around. It has a good balance overall, and the spring-assisted second handle creates a fulcrum so you can use both arms to lift and swing the load before chucking it into a pile. This allows you to clear even slushy snow without feeling like you're heaving bricks around. The blade is wide enough to clear a big swath of sidewalk or driveway in each scoop, but not so big it's unwieldy or hard to balance, even loaded with snow.
The shaft is strong and stable; you can push the blade along the ground to scrape up snow and ice without feeling like it's going to bend or twist, and the second handle is easy to grab to lift and toss the scraped snow out of the way.
My only suggestion would be adding a catch to the shaft to connect the second handle for storage to keep it all together, but this is not a serious issue and the shovel works wonderfully. - Carson MaxtedMy SJ-SHLV02 Shovel Broke - Snow Joe replaced itIf you don't know this already, Snow Joe has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty behind their products, even the shovels. MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER your shovel on Snow Joe's website to not run into the problem I had getting support.
Background: Have purchased a snowblower, extra batteries, and a different shovel SJ-SHLV01-RED in additional to this one SJ-SHLV02 from SnowJoe either from Amazon or from their website. Both shovels that I use from Amazon are great, but this SJ-SHLV02 is superior(NOPE, changed my mind, see UPDATE below). In addition to the strength and throwing capabilities they both give, this one can scrape under to pick up near frozen snow and sometimes ice.
I had no problems with anything until yesterday when my SJ-SHLV02 broke. I don't even know exactly when it happened because the blade initially got a small triangular hole in it near the handle stem, but it kept working with a little snow "leaking" through the blade. I don't THINK I was being too rough with it, but this thing seems to give the strength of several people when really using it, and it was that sense of unstoppable scraping and lifting that probably did it in. We've had our iciest snow in decades in my area (Chicago Area) At 20 degrees F, in typical use with a LOT of heavy snow/ice lifting my blade broke. Took the picture right away, and was still able to use it for another hour in this condition. It's still looks like this, can scrape under and lift a lot of snow - amazing. I would have(not happily) paid for another one to replace it, because I like it so much.
The return: OMG, did I have to be persistent. At first I looked at their website to see what the manufacturer's warranty was, since I'm almost at 90 days, well past the typical Amazon return window. Shows 2 years, great, I'll try it out. Called first, gave the model number, described what happened and was told to email a picture of it. Did that. Started to get nice email responses, 1st support ticket generated, new shovel(or part) to be mailed directly to me, no physical return required, also a Warranty Order Number. On that email, notice that the shovel being shipped to me is the older SJ-SHLV01-RED that is my other still working shovel. Respond back to that email(which now generates a 2nd support ticket number) that it's the wrong shovel. Now I get emails, that the shipment is cancelled, and that my shovel is not registered. Respond back with a .pdf of my Amazon receipt from less than 90 days ago and get no reply. I try to register this shovel on their website, but cannot because there is no serial number on the shovel itself. Next, I start a chat session and to make it quicker give the initial issue, references to the 2 previous support tickets, and a request to get my shovel registered. Get asked for serial number, told it's on the blade - it isn't, or at least isn't anymore from using it. The person on chat asked for my Amazon Invoice Number, (same as provided via email previously) and now my shovel gets registered on-line (I can see it on their website under my account) AND they are shipping a replacement to me. It took me over an hour to do this. Do yourself a favor, either VERIFY that your shovel gets registered on SnowJoe's website(like my first one did automatically after ordering from Amazon) OR get it registered right away(unlike my second shovel shovel which didn't get automatically registered from Amazon). Don't assume like I did.
UPDATE: One week later. I received the replacement shovel, however, now I wish I had just gotten the wrong one back instead. I can really appreciate the version that "doesn't break" vs. the Indestructible version that does. I think it's the scraper on the bottom that is too good. I have a regular ice scraper for that. I'll keep the replacement shovel and keep getting a replacement until my warranty runs out in another 21 months. Then will get another non-Poly Carbonite version as my second Snow Joe shovel. Lowered score from 5 to 4 stars. - Amazon CustomerBack saving shovelI remove snow for a living part of the year, and this thing is a back saver! I actually show it off because it works so well, and so easily. Just be aware of the sizes- biggest isn’t necessarily the best. We can get wet heavy snow, and you DO NOT want too large a blade for that stuff.
