    5.0 out of 5 stars Small but mighty!

    To be honest, I purchased this in 2017 and broke my leg shortly after so it sat in my storage shed until I dug it out this Fall. It's awesome! I have two decks and two sidewalks to clear and this gets it down in record time. Easy to manuever on my uphill driveway, too! Lightweight but was able to clear the 6" of snow we received yesterday with no problems whatsoever! I highly recommend Snow Joe!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the price if your needs are reasonable or as a backup blower that will always start

    I ordered this as a backup to a $1500 heavy duty two-stage Toro with finicky gas freshness requirements and has left me without a snowblower in the past, which is unacceptable. My wife works in healthcare and we live in a wooded lot with a large driveway that must be cleared so she can get to work as early as 6AM to be in the operating room.

    If I only owned this blower by itself, it would be completely inadequate for our particular drive but it's a whole lot better than hand shoveling if I'm stuck without the Toro. If you have a small area and are patient when using it, it could easily be your sole snow blower to avoid winterizing, changing oil, switching out gas so it's fresh when you need it every couple of months, year round so it doesn't gum up your carburetor and leave you without a way to clear your drive when you need it.

    Two important points:
    1) This is an electric snowblower that weighs about 35 pounds. It will not clear deep and/or heavy snow like a gas powered one will...it just won't. That said, for the cost, weight and ease of use, it’s very effective. You have to go very slow in that type of snow if you're stuck without an alternative. However, I still fire it up to do lighter snow and the walks if it isn't too deep, even if the monster Toro is working fine. This is nicer for walks because while the Toro throws snow 40' and can clear any amount and type of snow, it can be overkill and difficult to maneuver on walks. If you must use it for heavy snow, you can use the handle just behind where the snow is blown out to pick it up and blow the snow in layers - it weighs 35 pounds afterall. My Toro weighs just under 250 pounds. For my purposes, its a little like having a large riding lawn tractor to mow the lawn but and have a push mower to trim around the trees.

    2) Figure on spending $80-100 for a heavy gauge power cord that's rated to work in cold weather. The one you probably have lying around likely isn't that gauge and isn't rated for cold weather. For a 100-ft one, get a cold weather rated, 12 gauge cord.

    Support: Great! The motor burned out after a couple uses, likely because of a defect. I called Snow Joe support, got a human right away who emailed me a paid return label. They will send m a replacement, no questioned asked. It would be nice if it hadn't happened in the first place but it's nice to know they stand behind their products.

    This is the second time I've had to use this snow thrower. The first was a big snow storm in NYC, that delivered about 10-12 inches of snow. This easily handled that snowfall. I own a Toro 1800, that Is over 15 years old and still works great. However, it's about 12 Amps, 10 inches depth with 18 inch width. During that December snowfall, I started with the Toro to see how it's fare. It was tough going, barely making a dent in the snow, especially with snow drifts. Then I switched to this Snow Joe, and it handled the snow much more easily. Man, was I glad I purchased this just before the snow fell. (Talk about luck, it actually arrived the night before the storm.) So, I was very happy with every aspect of this snow thrower.
    Fast forward to the Nor'easter that brought massive snowfall to NYC again. Started Sunday and ended Tuesday morning. In my neighborhood, it measured 18.5 inches. Plus some rain/sleet that fell on top of that level of snow. So the snow was that heavy wet kind. I won't lie and say this was as easy as the December snow clearing. I would clear about a foot or two, then go back and clip off snow, about 1/4 - 1/3 from the side of the snow thrower opening. This would break the snow 'wall' and the blades would funnel the wet snow into the output tube.
    It handled the job. It certainly saved my back. I did have to use more effort pushing the thrower, since the snow was not fluffy, and offered considerable resistance.
    Before I purchased this machine, I considered a gas powered snow blower. The cost was significantly more, which was expected. I was considering a 2 stage unit, so that I could avoid the gas/oil mixture, and just use gas. it's louder, heavier and takes more space. Since I had reasonable success with my older Toro, I figured that a more powerful version should suffice. For this snow, would the Toro have been useful? Not really, because it struggled with the December snowstorm. Would the gas powered machine have handled this snowstorm? Of course. A neighbor has one, and he slowly progressed without hesitation. This Snow Joe snow thrower, with some strategic tactics, ably handled the job. It might have done the job in 1/2 the time, possibly even more. In previous years, for a storm like this (maybe 8 inches or more, that would tax the Toro), I'd use a shovel to clear the snow. I recall one storm where it took over 6 hours to complete the job (Besides clearing my own driveway,sidewalk and walkway, I clear 3 of my neighbors' sidewalks and walkways, and one elderly couples driveway, just in case of emergency).
    I've attached some photos of the Snow Joe against the backdrop of the snow, some shots of sidewalks that I cleared. There's also a side by side photo of the Snow Joe and my trusty old Toro.
    Overall, this is a great machine. I was actually surprised how well it handled these two snowstorms. Again, today's use was no walk in the park. It required effort and took time. However, tonite my back feels normal, no aches or pains. I'm sure the job was completed in much less time that manually shoveling. For a price that is about 1/3 the cost of the gas powered machine, it's a considerable value/cost effective.
    If I thought we were going to have snowstorms in excess of 20 inches with regularity, I would consider purchasing a 2 stage gas powered snow blower. But, realistically, this Snow Joe snow thrower should ve a very credible and capable performer for the majority of snow events.
    I feel this machines merits a solid 4.75 star rating, with a very high level recommendation.
