Assembling it I had to call in because the electric cord was too long. I had to unscrew the bottom and pull it through (based on Customer service help) it worked well and I need to get another battery as a back up. I have to adjust the hand grip because you still have to lift it. Got a little heavy but it did the job. There has been a lot of snow and it certainly has helped! it does toss the snow 20' I think so use caution where you are directing it. Heavier snow like by the road where the trucks/cars pile on your driveway is a little harder for it to get rid of. You have to take little sections off the top at a time by lifting which got a little tiring. A bigger machine would be better but I am glad I got this one for walkway and driveway.

The Snow Joe is perfect for removing the snow from my driveway and sidewalks when using my larger snowblower would be overkill. The Snow Joe is my new battery powered snow shovel. The battery has plenty of power to throw snow a way off my double wide driveway. It is quick to recharge and a lot handier than filling my larger snowblower with gas and oil.

Since purchasing the Sno Joe I have only had one opportunity to use it this year. Unfortunately the snow we received was preceded by rain thus the snow was heavy. Used the Sno Joe in some open spots and was impressed at its ability to "dig" in to the snow. Could not use it throughout the whole drive way. But I had experience with a friend's Sno Joe a few years ago and was very impressed at the effortless clean up the tool provided. Waiting for a dry snow.

Just received this unit about a week ago. Have not been able to use it as yet. Still September here in N.E. Ohio. I have purchased and used 4 other Sun-Joe products. I will say this, they are very well engineered, and built to give years of service! Extremely happy with my purchases!

I guess it technically works as described. I'll probably never use it though because it's only somewhat effective on 3-4" of light, unpacked snow and only on very smooth surfaces. The 10" width means a lot of passes, but that wasn't unexpected. Just annoying in actual use.

I used this on my deck in the mountains where snow is blown on it. It will get bogged down in snow deeper than about 4 inches. It throws the snow directly forward so you have to push it to where you want the snow to pile up. The snow I am throwing is light since it is in the mountains where it is very cold when it snows.

I needed something cheaper than a snow blower and something better than a shovel. Found this amazing cordless snow shovel. One of the best cordless snow shovels that can help clear out my driveway and side walks on a single charge. Of all the vendors, by far the cheapest. The only thing I would love to change is the angle of the throw. But you can control it to some extent.

Had 2 storms so far. First was 6" of snow followed by rain and then 1/2" of ice. The snow was so heavy even large snow blowers had trouble and this snow shovel wouldn't work. But the second storm was 8" of just snow and this shovel worked great. I cleaned off my deck and walk really fast, which was good cause it was almost 0 degrees after the storm so it was good to get back in the warm house. I would recommend this shovel because except for those rare storms like the first one we had, this shovel will work. And it will work great.

Love this product for my deck and stairs and small snow falls on the driveway. It it light weight and easy to assemble and use. I am 63 y/o and my husband just died 3 months ago so this is a big help as he was doing the shoveling. I have a big snowblower for heavier snowfalls on the driveway. If you can figure out how to have the snow blow out to the side instead of the front that would be an improvement as you have to redo what you just did because snow blows out the front. Other than that, would recommend to buy.

Works great if you get to it right after its done snowing , If you let it freeze up its just like if you were shoveling by hand its a pain in the butt , don't get me wrong it still chops threw the hard stuff but your risking throwing frozen projectiles that can cause damage to property overall very pleased with this great little snow blower/thrower
