Bought this and delivered the day of a snowstorm. I assembled it with little trouble except the chute. I tried very carefully to attach the chute during assembly. I started snowblowing and immediatly the chute blew right off. I tried six more times to reinstall the chute to no avail it continued to come off each time. I gave up. I like the light weight of the unit and the power is fantastic even for upstate NY. If only that darn chute worked better I could give it 5 stars. But because the chute is needed to properly direct the snow I can only give it two stars.

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!

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.

This is a good product I do have a couple of complaints. I am 6 foot tall and find it is made for a shorter person because i have to bend over to use it and it strain my back. Second the discharge chute needed to be put back on a couple of times so maybe add a couple of more retainer screws to hole it in place. I does work as i thought it should otherwise

I bought this as I'm the one in the resonsible for snow blowing and can't lift a huge machine. This is super light and PLOWS through the snow. I've used it on 1 inch of snow to 1.5 ft of snow. The shoot gets clogged if the snow it to wet but other wise it's amazing. I gave the 4 because it's a plug in. But its stay plugged in and is beyong easy to use. Be sure to use the screw to attach the shoot to the machine. If you don't you will be sooooo very sorry.

We live in central MN and have never had a snowblower before. I am a 65 yr old female. I had intended to buy the next larger (15 amp?) style, but ordered the 13 by mistake. My apron is 24' wide by 30 feet long. Starting in the middle, the blower blows the snow about 9 feet, so not all the way to the edge (12' away), but that has not been a problem. It just adds a little extra snow the last few passes. It takes me 12 min. to do the apron. We had a 12" snowfall right after we bought this and I went out 4 times to do a little at a time. Then, a week later we had 5" more. The blower handled it just fine. The machine is light enough for me to lift and put in and out of the back of the SUV. After the 5" snow I took the blower and did my parents' sidewalk and my 70 year old neighbor's. My 91 year old dad said "We have to get one!" Mom said, "No we don't, our daughter has one!" Only regret is that I didn't get the larger amp style I intended to get.....

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!

I purchased this snow blower in the summer of 2020 but didn't get a chance to use it until January 2021. Once I did use it, I was very surprised by how well it works. It was very easy to put together the handle and chute. I have a 50 ft driveway and 2 short sidewalks of 10 and 20 ft. This machine really cut through the snow and completely cleared both sidewalks and driveway in a matter of minutes as compared to the hour it would have taken to shovel by hand. It does bog down a bit it in wet, heavier snow but I sprayed a bit of silicone spray in the chute so it didn't get clogged up. As an over 65 year old I very much appreciated its light weight which made it a pleasure to use. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone who is ready to get rid of their bulky gas powered machines or just to quit shoveling.

Assembly was easy. 5" of snow fell not two days after I received this snow blower. The job that normally took almost an hour was done in 20 minutes. There was even a layer of ice under the snow that the scraper was able to get under and remove. So far very satisfied.

My Snow Joe purchase incited warmer weather. I suggest everyone buy one. LOL It seriously has not snowed since my purchase. I will update this review as soon as I get the opportunity to use the machine. I am sure it will be wonderful compared to hand shovelling. :)
