Works great. Should have done this years ago.

It was such a good price that I thought it might not be strong enough for the 100” or so we are getting this month. I'm a 70 year old female. This electric blower tackled 4' of heavy snow on a big deck. I did it in layers. Some of the snow was heavy/crispy but this little guy blew it out into my yard. I then did another smaller deck. In 2 hours I was done. It would have taken me 2 full days to clear without this Snow Joe. I'm glad that I got the small one that I can pick up with one hand to maneuver. Best news no sore back!

We weren't sure this would work for the variety of snow we get here in Alaska. I'm happy to report that it handled 6” of wet snow like a champ! We don't have a ton of space to clear, so the extension cord isn't an issue. This snow blower, though … seems to be the real deal and a heck of a lot cheaper than we expected for this type of machine. If I could give it 6 stars, I would!

Small and powerful, did a great job clearing over 7 inches of snow this January 2025 in Indiana from my driveway. I've previously owned a powerful gas unit years ago, so I wasn't sure how electric would perform. A friend recommended electric for the convenience of not having the maintenance of a gas unit ( spark plugs, cleaning, gas), so I gave this a try. I've never heard of the brand, so I looked on Youtube and saw a video of a different model. I took a chance since I got this one for under $100. The only issue I had was the extension cord getting in my way. There is a hook to hang it on, but I was getting tripped up in the extra. I wasn't used to that coming from a gas unit. Overall, I was pleased with the performance and not having to struggle shoveling snow like my neighbors.

Great little snowblower

My Nephew is using this for the first time in the snow, here is PA, in early February 2021. The snow is heavy and high. He has gotten through this with this smaller snowblower. He is the one who told me to write a review. He said that he pushed it through the heavy snow and it never overheated and it picked up the snow and blew it where he wanted it. He had to push hard, but it did a great job.

This product is amazing!

This is absolutely amazing! We just used it in 8-10" of wet snow with complete ease. I am beyond impressed with this product! The only thing that can get annoying is getting the electric cord out of the way but it's worth it if you are looking for a more affordable option than a gas blower.

Great machine for medium snow removal around house

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to assemble, use and effective. the small size allows you to move it easily in large, medium and small areas. It give you a great finish look around the house :) price is great for this strong machine. the only annoying thing is the long electrical cord which has to follow the machine but that is ok when I think of the alternative high price gas snow removal! I am happy with it since I use when needed only after storm or in the weekend.

Very Good but. . .

Overall, I am satisfied with this product. This snow blower works fairly well except for three items: 1. It doesn't throw the snow as far as I expected (my driveway is about 15 feet wide and the first few passes do not throw the snow beyond the opposite edge); 2. although most of the snow does cleanly eject from the chute, a significant amount scatters on top of the blower casing at the adjustable chute deflector hinge; 3. the crank to turn the chute does not operate easily (I have double-checked the assembly and believe it has been done correctly).

Hope it will meet my needs.

I purchased to use on my small concrete driveway. It is about 100 feet long and 2 cars wide. Was simple to use first time out this week. Easy to run. Had about 2" of snow earlier this week so pulled it out to try. My problem is that it would hardly blow the snow more than about 12". Just enough to pile up for the adjacent run. Maybe it is just me. I noticed when I pushed it real fast, it would blow harder but also blow out the front and not just the chute. Any thoughts? Is it the blower or me? Was easier than shoveling but did not seem very efficient.

Poor design

The snow chute is secured in with plastic tabs and 1 screw. The snow chute comes loose on the opposite side of the screw. Poor design so I gave it 1 star and returned it. Overall, the thrower handled 5” of fresh snow just fine. It is not made for packed snow or ice. It's almost all plastic. If you don't have a 12 or 14 gauge extension that's another $50.

Not a good unit.

Item was purchased through Walmart.com. They sell them for Snow Joe. I assembled the unit very well (if I say so my self). I barely started plowing and the snow chute popped up except for the one side that it was screwed down. I am sure that I had it assembled correct. I did reassemble snow chute two more times - same consequence. Walmart did take it back and I am assuming I will get a credit as soon as it gets back to Snow Joe.
