I am glad I purchased the Snow Joe. I was a little nervous about this product because I just put in new Trex decking and did not want to damage it. Additionally, I thought the low price compared to others might be a giveaway to it's performance. There are some who said they had problems with the performance but there are bound to be bad apples with anything mass produced. If the customer service is good then it shouldn't be an issue. I wish I had bought this sooner. Shoveling snow sucks.
I also read that some folks said it doesn't move more than just a dusting and that my be true for them. As with any snow blower, gas or electric, you can't wait until you have snow over the top of your blower and expect it to work efficiently. I just used mine for the first time and I cleared 1700 sq feet of deck. I had some drifts with 8 inches and some areas with only 2-3 inches. I did not have any problems, I just took my time. It's not a wet heavy snow so that may be the difference.
I like how it throws the snow far enough to get it away from the house. Additionally, the way it is designed I can lay it back a little and throw it high and away. When I get close to the handrails I can pick the handle up and throw it through the handrails. It's easy enough I can get right along my house and the handrails (running parallel). You do have to be careful at a perpendicular approach because the scoop will strike the house or handrail if you are at certain angles. But that said, it's sturdy and didn't break.
It's about like using a heavy vacuum. I do wish there was a trigger lock on it. When it is running the trigger is pretty sensitive and doesn't have to travel far for it to cut off.
I would definitely buy it again. It's light enough for a lady to operate and it would make a great gift for the husbands who have to clear the decks and sidewalks.
