I used the Snow Joe once this year. Where I live we don't get much snow (I live on Vancouver Island B.C. Canada. This is good for light snow but you need to keep it up as when the snow is heavy it doesn't work that well....with that being said I like using it, its easy to operate.

This thing is great. It's perfect for our deck. I use our big gas one for the drive and walks, but this is light and throws the snow surprisingly far. No more fighting the gas blower up onto the deck, nor back breaking shovelling! Had the same issue with the chute as others, but easily fixed. I used it on wet snow as well as up to 6-8” already. Overall this is a great unit for the price. I could hear the motor get a little taxed with the wet snow, but it still threw it like a champ. Highly recommend for decks or smaller areas. Cheers!

used for the first time on my deck. had 5-6" of wet, fairly compacted snow and this little guy buzzed right through it effortlessly. I was impressed by the throw distance coming from the chute. Glad I bought it and the price for value is excellent.

It is small and light, but it does the job. I have used it only three times and I live is southern WI. We had three snow falls in the 6 - 8 inch range, so the snow depth, in places, was about 10 inches. I was pleased that this machine took care of it. The cord is a little bit of a hassle, but that is minor. I am pleased with it.

I've only used the Snow Joe about four times as it early in the season. However, as we get a lot of snow in Montreal, I expect to use it a number of times on my single driveway, front walkway and a large deck in the back. So far it seems to get the job done adequately. I needed a small snow thrower as I have to drag it up the stairs through the house to get it to the deck and it's quite heavy. As well, I need to store it in my small garage. Two cons are that it was somewhat difficult to assemble and the electric version is a real pain as the cord is constantly getting in the way. Maybe there is a technique but I haven't figured it out. Sometimes the throw height is very good and other times it just throws a little, even when it's not clogged. It does save me from shoveling a lot of heavy snow and I expect to give it a good workout this winter...

I bought this Snow Joe a couple of weeks ago and I am thoroughly happy about this product. I have a 2 car driveway to clear and I found that this unit is doing the job just fine. It works great when you push the snow all to one side of the driveway and then throw the snow with the Snow Joe. It is dependable and you don't have to worry about all the problems associated with a gas unit. I am also pleased with how far it shoots the snow.

I am a retired and have found it impossible to handle bigger Snow Blowers. This Snow Joe has worked well on snows of 1-4 inches. The fact that the electric cord is required does make it harder to use than a battery would be, but given the cost difference, I am willing to put up with the cord. (My brother suggested to keep the cord in a warm area and that helps.)

It's great not having to try to start a gasoline engine in the cold, on Friday of last week it was -20 and we got about 5 inches of snow. This little guy did the job and did it well. I would give it 5 stars but the chute likes to vibrate and come off, so I had to stop several times and reattach it.

Ordering was easy; great price and free shipping; delivery was one day less than expected. I bought Snow Joe Ultra for clearing sidewalk and paths to my bird feeders and the oil fill pipe. It will also be used to clear 3-4 feet of snow from in front of garage doors to make plowing easier for hubby. Assembly of Snow Joe was easy up to point of inserting cotter pin into the holes of the Lower Crank Rod and opening at the back of the Housing - had to ask a neighbor for help with this. He did not have an easy time, but finally got the pin in place. Once fully assembled, I used it for the first time blowing approximately five inches of ice-crusted snow, and the Snow Joe met all of my expectations. Its light weight made it easy to handle going forward and backwards. Using my Snow Joe sure will be easier on my back than shoveling!

Didn't get the smallest amount of snow cleared off. Plug not safe from light shock fom snowfall.
