I'm going to start with the obvious about this snow thrower. I'm tall. 6'4 kind of tall and I have to basically bend over to use this, and yes, it's set to it's maximum length/height. My roommate is 5'10 and he still has to slouch to use it. So if you're above average height be warned of this. Also it doesn't hold a charge and needs to be plugged in consistently. I did not know that when I purchased it and honestly that would have deterred me from the purchase. Now let's go to snow removal, or shall we call it, "Move the snow slightly to the side so you can go over it again and again until you are done". It doesn't do much except put the snow about two to three feet in whatever direction you have it aimed just so you can make another pass over it and so on and so on. Now mind you this isn't heavy wet snow or exceptionally deep snow I've used it on, about an inch to two inches max on a medium sized driveway and about twenty feet of sidewalk. Now about movement, if you aren't speed walking with it it isn't even moving the snow the very sad amount that it "throws" it. I've noticed the slower you move it the less it wants to actually move the snow. Got small almost unnoticeable cracks anywhere? Hope not! This thing gets stuck on the slightest of cracks or elevation changes and just doesn't like it at all. Over all, yes, it's better than shoveling, but just barely. If you're using it for snow removal on a deck or small walkway then I'd say it's worth it if you don't mind it plugged in constantly. All of that being said I hope my review helped you and happy buying in whatever you chose.

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.

Excellent service and "factory direct" parts at a reasonable cost .

Joe snow blower

Didn't work for me

Poor quality, snow shoot falls off every two or three steps. A snow shovel is better than this machine.

We needed to have our latest snow to review this. We love it! It does not blow the slush at the end of the driveway, but we didn't expect it to.

I bought 1 of these last year. I had no snow last year to use it with. I finally had a snow a week ago and it worked fine for about 15 minutes then snow kept popping the snow thrower funnel off! Do not buy this model! worthless!

It was a Birthday gift for my brother. He gets a lot of snow. I thought it would be a good gift so he doesn't have to shovle the snow. He loves the snowblower. It was the best present. Thanks Walmart

Live in Rural Northern Michigan , cannot use gas powered blower due to vibration. Snow Joe is perfect me. I use both the Snow Joe 8 inch blower battery powered and this model!
