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.

Do not buy this snow blower. The snow blower is worthless because the chute does not stay locked in place! The chute comes unlocked after a minute or less when using the snow blower. The motor is good. The chute is the issue! Invest in a better quality and more expensive snow blower.

Had plastic smells when it was used the first time. It can only removes evenly spreaded snow powder of no more then 1' depth and can't completely replace the old manual snow shovel. As it carries a 3 yr warranty i'll keep it to wait and see if it'll eventually work.

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. :)

Frankly my expectations were not quite high for the price but I have to say I am impressed. Sure it's no massive snowblower but it does the job. I use it for a medium size driveway and I really appreciated how easy it is to use and how light it is. Definitively recommend, good price/value item.

It's a light snow mover the only issue is the deflection snow chute is plastic and it clips in on 3 grooves and has a screw to keep in place. Well the snow blasting out has a velocity that knocks it out of the grooves. Keep a Phillips screwdriver on hand to fix repeatedly.

This thing goes through almost all types of snow. If its super heavy and wet, you need to take your time. Did not realize there was a screw to hold the chute in place and it blew off before I realized this. Probably should have read the directions but it was simple enough to put together.

My son put it together in less than an hour. I recieved this at the beginning of November and as Murphys Law does its job..we have had no snow since. Soo, I cannot at this time review how it actually works. I can say as a 66 year old it does appear to be easy to lift.

First of all, this machine comes with a significant design flaw. The plastic output chute comes with only one machine screw to hold it in place and it immediately blew off when the snowblower was engaged. I had to rig a few additional machine screws into the unit to hold it in place. The snowblower itself is generally effective on up to 4 inches of snow. Beyond that, it is not large enough to do the job. It does seem powerful enough to remove light or wet snow, but certainly not heavy snow or ice. Having used a gas powered snowblower for many years and going to a smaller electric machine, having to deal with the cord getting in the way of operating the unit can be annoying and cumbersome.

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.....
