I ordered this snow blower on January 30. By the time it got here I couldn't test it out because the snow had already melted, but we later got enough snow to use it and it worked fine. The next time I went to use it was today 3/12/2022 and the chute broke and now the snow gets clogged and doesn't go anywhere, which kind of defeats the point of a snow blower. Kind of crappy for it to break so soon, especially while in the middle of clearing 4-5” of snow…

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

I have had the opportunity to use only once on minimum snow fall. Haven't had the opportunity to try it on a snowfall of over an inch. Worked well on the walkway and with the drifting on the driveway and walk. what snowplowing I've done, the SnowJoe lives up to its name. Easy to assemble with easy to read instructions. I may have given it a 5 if I had more than one opportunity, especially if it worked as well as it has.

The chute is held on by these tiny little plastic tabs. As soon as you start blowing snow, it blows the chute right off the machine. Who designs these things? I went to home depot and got some small sheet metal screws, and screwed the chute onto the machine with about 6 screws, and it fixed the problem. But it really should be designed better. The rest of it seems ok.

This is a very powerful and handy machine for removing snow. We had an 8 in snowfall, and it did my drive and my neighbor's drive with no problems. Of course, because it is hooked up to 100 ft of powercord, there is a learning curve on how to do it. Also, the snow director on top would fly off if too much snow flowed through it. Checked directions again, and then put a screw in a hole making the turning ability impossible. Will have to figure this problem out.
