5.0 out of 5 stars I love this shovel!
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021
I bought this about 2 years ago but haven’t had to use it until now. We are in the path of the big winter storm and have gotten a LOT of snow. I just shoveled our driveway and sidewalk this morning, and I can tell you. This does not make the job fun, but it sure makes it easier. The little handle somehow takes the strain off the back, and if you use your knee for a lever, it is almost effortless to throw a load of snow off into the yard. We had maybe 5 inches of light powder, and it worked GREAT. I don’t know how it will deal with the heavy icy mess the snowplow will throw into the driveway, but I can use our heavy snow shovel for that. Even if this lasts only one season, it was well worth the money. As information, I am 5’5 and 110 pounds, 61 year old woman. I shoveled 5 inches of snow off our driveway in around 2 hours. That shows it is easy to use. I love that it is plastic (although I was skeptical about that) because the snow does not freeze to the shovel! That is huge for me. My big heavy metal snow shovels always freeze and the snow won’t let go. So I say BUY THIS. If two of you are going to be shoveling snow, each of you need one.

I bought two and what a great investment. I shoveled for about 3 hours and though my left arm got a little sore it did not kill me. I switched positions holding the center with my right and I "dug" in. I used it for three days thereafter and each time this shovel has proven itself. Disclaimer: I do work out regularly so this may be a reason why I didn't wake up the next day with a sore back. This shovel though makes shoveling a lot easier on your back. My wife shoveled too with it and she didn't complain the next day. I did have one of the metal inserts come off on one of them and I have to just slap it back on. It might get caught on harder heavier snow that causes it to dislodge but it's not a big deal. It only happens about once each day. A great shovel and good build quality. A must have for the next big storm. We just had about 30 inches and I was surprised at how well my body handled all that shoveling.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022
Its been a month....have used this quite a few times here in Minnesota. Not sure what the negative reviews are about but this thing does not have the feeling of a cheaply made item. Its pretty solid and light weight. It has this springy feel to it when you are shoveling and tossing snow. Its a lot easier than using the regular shovel too. One knock to it is the shovel part. The end of the scoop does not do a good job breaking through the tougher snow.....I have to some times jab at the hard parts. My $20 shovel from Home Depot does this with no issues but not this, it almost feels a big flimsy/fragile.

I will obviously respond if something happens but i've had cheaper feeling items that have lasted a long time. I have a feeling this thing is going to last quite a while.

I 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Shovel! Total Back Saver!
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021
Oh dear God! I shovel snow for a 500 unit garden appointment development. We are talking about 12-15 hour shoveling days! I have used the traditional shovels which were very taxing on my back as well as my hands and, after hours of use I would be exhausted. After buying the Snow Joe shovel, I put it to use when the next snow storm hit. This shovel has changed how I work and it is absolutely amazing! Don’t get me wrong, shoveling snow will never be a walk in the park, but it really take the stress and pressure off your back. The horizontal grips allow your to push and lift without having to overly exert yourself when gripping the handles. If used correctly, it will work wonders. I gave sturdiness 4 stars only because the metal edge on the shovel came off after hours of use. Other than that, 5 stars all the way. The shovel does what it was made to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality ergonomic shovel
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2024
I’ve used this for the last couple of years and liked it so much that I bought one for my parents too. I only give this 4/5 stars on ergonomics because I’m on the tall side (6 feet 2 inches / 188 cm) and it’s sometimes uncomfortable with how much I still need to lean over to use it. If they made a tall version that was a little longer, it would be great. This is still the best shovel around though.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024
I like this shovel but it is a little bit more expensive than I am happy with paying. I got two of another shovel for less money. The shovels are almost identical, same features, same lite-weight, the only difference is these other shovels are blue. I was going to return this one but I had used it a little bit, so I didn't feel right about the return.
