Gas powered snow blowers are too heavy for me to use and a manual shovel is getting difficult as I get older. I ordered this product after a friend referred me. I used it for the first time today and what a blessing. Cut through 19" deep NY snow with almost no effort. I just wish I had gotten an extra battery as it only lasted about an hour because the snow was so deep (just ordered a second battery). I highly recommend this for anyone!

My wife bought this, I was skeptical, that it was a waste of money. Today it was +2 and the snow was wet and heavy. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked well. Throwing ahead. U just need to Keep the top of the head above snow, as it says so it can throw the snow. The unit is light weight and u can make a shoveling motion in deep snow to manouvet around obstruction in deep snow. I recommend getting another battery so U can finish the job. Remember U have to let a battery That U removed to charge, cool down B4 U put it on the charger, or it won,'t charge. Just like other cordless power tools like a drill, hence a spare battery 5 amp/hr (largest one ) is a great idea.

I just cleared my patio of a 3" snow with my 11' Snow Joe Snow Thrower. I am an 84 yr old woman - I've had it for 3 yrs and love it. What is different this year is that I am now using a cane. I was easily able to do it one handed - just gliding it off in stripes. Thank you so much Snow Joe for this wonderful, reliable tool that makes something possible for me.

I got my Sunjoe snowblower shovel for my birthday in August and just used it for the first time. I'm extremely impressed with how it worked on 6" of light snow. The battery didn't quite last as long as I'd like, so I ordered a second one. I'm very happy with how easy it was to do my driveway and it's a pretty decent sized drive.

Bought this 2 weeks ago as I was just diagnosed with severe asthma and shoveling snow was not a great idea. Was easy to assemble and not heavy at all. Worked well on first snow of about 2"; a week later we get 8" of snow and it took a little longer to do the sidewalk and walkways but it was so worth the investment. No problem with battery lasting over 45 minutes. I have a snow joe battery operated lawn mower which is why I trust this brand.

First time when I used it last month with a few inches of snow, it's nice & easy smooth operation. This time with the snow over 5 inches, I came out and clear the snow after it was accumulated to 3 inches with little troubles. It was still snowing but I have heard that this machine can not handle big snow or stacking wet snow so I came out while it's still snowing and it was about 3 inches. Then I came back out again after the snow taping off 3 hours later. This time the machine stopped all the time, I thought it was broken but it was not. It just jammed up the blade and stopped dozen of times and the snow was only about 5-6 inches. I even cleared it earlier but still stuck on thick heavy snow. I gave 5 stars at first but this time, only 3 stars !!!!

Out of the box, it only took a few minutes to assemble the handle. I charged the 5 amp battery and my shovel was ready to go. Two days later, we had our first snow fall and I was able to test it out. It really works! It cleared my walkways and steps with ease. I then used it in the spots where my gas snowblower was not able to access do to limited space. If the snowfall is not deep (3 inches or less), it can do all of your snow removal in no time. If the snow is more than 3 inches, it will do the job but take a little longer time wise. The battery is great - lasted much longer than the 26 minutes noted in the specifications. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

This product is ok but not up to the hype on the video or the printed advertising. When cleaning off the deck it pushed the snow ahead of the machine rather than blowing it. It worked somewhat better on the concrete and blacktop garage apron but still had to use constant back and forth motion to blow snow in front of scraper blade.

I bought this gem 2 years ago and took a lot of grief from my husband about wasting my money. Unfortunately he passed away before we could use it. Well, it finally snowed! And I’m one happy camper! This bad boi went thru 6 inches of snow like a hot knife thru butter. Truly amazing! Did my porch, steps and driveway in less than 20 minutes! Who knew shoveling snow could be so much fun? There is a learning curve though, which I found out the hard way. Make sure your out of the way of the snow blowback or you’ll end up a bit frosty, lol. I did have problems with assembly, I ended up removing the plastic cord protector and was able to get the cord in the poles. Customer service was great in helping me with this. I recommend this this gem to everyone, especially those like me who have had to take on home maintenance unexpectedly.

My 84 year old mother bought the Snow Joe power shovel to clear a path from the house to the mailbox. I was there this past weekend and it snowed. The snow was about 4" deep and this unit did throw it about 20 feet. I was quite impressed! Her driveway is about 35-40' wide so I started in the middle and blew the snow to each side. She has an open style fence on both sides of the driveway which becomes a problem when multiple snowfalls occur in a short period of time as the snow eventually has to picked up (with a manual shovel) and thrown over the existing snow banks. With the Snow Joe, it throws the snow over the fence and there are no snow banks to contend with. I would estimate her driveway is 1000-1200 sq. ft. I was able to clear the whole driveway on 1 battery charge but I could tell the battery was weaker about 1/2 way thru the job. I did find out that its better to do a path about 8' long and not push the shovel for 20' strips. Doing it in the longer 20' strip, the snow will partially blow on the area just cleaned requiring that area to be redone. It would be nice if this unit could throw the snow at a 10-15* angle to avoid this. The other thing I noticed was the motor smelled like it was getting hot. Will have to see how long it last.
