Not worth buying

I used the snowblower four times in two years. I bought it to use when my regular snow removal people weren't able to clear my driveway in time for me to get to work the time. On the four trip out of the garden shed, it started smoking and then after about five minutes it stopped. The unit was properly stored, properly used, and in my opinion not worth buying. Unless the snow is very dry. It performs poorly and the electric cord is another challenge I don't ever wish to repeat.

electric snow thrower for the win

I bought this for our lot in a mobile home community. We have a 4 car driveway and about 15 feet or so of sidewalk, so we didn't need some beast. Initially I was looking at the power shovel but I figured for the $20-$30 more lets make life a little easier. Storage was also a concern as we have a 10x10 shed with which we have to store our other yard equipment, seasonal decorations, etc. I was very impressed with this little workhorse. It just handled 3” of snow with ease. It wasn't the light fluffy snow but rather medium weight. It did manage to handle some of the slushy snow by the street pretty well too all be it with a little patience. Would have preferred a cordless unit but the price you cannot beat it.

Over Worked

Purchased this during our winter of 2016/2017, through AAFES. It arrived in time to use it most of the snow season which was one of the worse we've had in a long time. I was totally amazed at how well it worked. If I had burned out the 13 amp motor I wouldn't have been surprised as I really made it do things I'm sue it wasn't designed to do. Last winter I only used it a few times as the winter was mild. I also bought one for my finance's son in Massachusetts and he has been putting his to the test also. But this past weekend we got hit really hard and I've been putting it through even harder plowing and it just keeps on going. I've even been using it for some charity work, helping others. It might not be big and super powerful, but it's certainly help save my back. I'm just hoping it keeps going for this winter as I clear my driveway and those of some senior citizens on a budget. This blower gives me good faith in this company.

Better than expected

I bought this snow blower to clear snow from my expansive deck . ( 80 x10 feet) I live in snow country and snow accumulations have damaged my deck in previous years. I have a large gas snowblower to do my driveway etc. But it is to heavy to lift up the 5 steps to my deck level. I was asked when I first bought the snowblower ( 3 months ago) to write a review. I am one of those people who hate reviewers who have just opened the box or have used the product once. This is a serious review . Number of times used, 8 . Depth of snow removed , 5 inches to 12 inches at a time . The only challenge for the sno joe was a 10 inch fall of wet snow . I did not expect results and had to carry my gas blower up to get results ( and it struggled) . Bottom line .....great product and highly recommended.

Good Performer, Good Design, Nice Color, used 5x

Discharge Chute Issue: The lower and upper discharge chute popped out of front of the ring the control crank turns. So, remove the single screw (#2 phillips, use the correct tool correctly please) and re-assemble it. This part (the chute, not the ring which stays with the machine) is currently out of stock, from which one might infer others have this issue. The screw takes the trust of snow material as it discharges and for it to breakaway on being bumped (my pant leg, dungarees, walking by in the hall by the exterior door) is a good thing or at least acceptable. This thing is so light to carry but do not lift by the chute, Unplug it first. Feed it from a GFI. Showjoe offers a cord which looks like what you want and that is what you must most watch when operating. SJ618E is kind of a good medium size for my situation (decks, northern Sierra) and depending on snow that JUST FELL and whether light (in the 20's Fahrenheit) or 30's ("cement") this easy-to-start squealer machine (motor noise) lofts the snow so you don't have to. If wet snow freezes ("cement") freezes no blower would be able to have its mouth (auger housing) pushed into the snowbank. Metal shovel to make digestible chunks and immediately before it refreezes use the snowthrower on the chunks you broke off the bank because everything snow-like and snow-worthy rehardens. Work slow, be safe. The motor noise tells you if you are working it too hard (don't, motor belt sheave pulley auger and scraper will last longer) and others possibly in the area to not move toward an activity involving throwing snow.

Can't beat the price, light Weight

I only gave this 4 stars because I have not used it yet. I think u can't beat the price, I have a deck and front porch and small area I purchased it for. There is a video on assembly . I needed something light( back and neck surgery) I read many reviews before purchasing, I am happy with the purchase. Of course it was delayed in delivery because of a snow storm! I already cleared the snow with out it. I am ready for the next storm! I purchased a outdoor electrical cord at Walmart also.

Great Value

Works great. My biggest complaint is the discharge shoot won't stay on. I have to stop at least 1 time by pass. I'll wait until it dries then I'll try to super glue it on. Other than that, I highly recommend it. My driveway is about 50' long and 2 cars wide. Cleared it in about 10-15 minutes. Would've been quicker if I didn't have to keep replacing the discharge shoot.

Hard working little machine

Despite feeling very light this model does a great job on light snow. I have a full size snowblower for heavy storms but this does just great on my walkways, saving me from having to shovel. If the snow is powder I can actually use it on my driveway and avoid having to fire up my gas snowblower. At some point I will probably invest in the battery model and lose the extension cord but for now it's really not a problem. Nice machine, fair price. I'm impressed.
