This blower paid for itself with the first snowfall. It barreled through 8 in of snow with no problem. Great purchase. The only thing I would like to see is the Chute control arm be a little more stable. It screws together in the middle and is a little wobbly.

I have the 48v 18" . The question asked by most, will it handle heavy snow. The answer is yes, BUT, the battery lasts about 20 minutes . So on a heavy-heavy snow day... it will take about 1+ hr... so requires multiple charging at 2 hours per charge. To help mitigate that, I bought an extra set of batteries... expensive! My driveway is about 3 cars wide by 4 deep driveway. ,re 1-2 inches takes me about 10-15minutes to clear...as fast as I can maneuver the machine 3-5 inches.... about 15-20 minutes 6 to 12 inches... about 30-40 minutes ... may have to do half width of the machine at a time. 12-24 inches...over 1 hr.... but it can do the job, throwing the snow far.... have to do small swaths at a time I have a big gas 26" for the 12-24 inch days. The big advantages Lightweight Handles 90% of my needs... Easy to use, just pull the trigger. Easy, My wife can operate it. I would buy again with extra batteries.

Bought in March of 2023 but didn't use until today, January 12, 2024. It started snowing after midnight. By the time I started throwing, we already had at least 4". My new Snow Joe handled it! Even the 'boulders' at the end of the driveway! No more stinky gas and oil and no more tune-ups! One of the best products I've ever bought for myself! This area is expecting 8-12" with blizzard-like conditions today. Good thing I bought an extra charger and two extra batteries! I'm ready with my Snow Joe, Mother Nature! Bring it on!

I purchased this unit after returning 2 larger units of a different brand that quit after the first use. I thought I would need to return this one as well because initially it would only run for 3 seconds under load. I called customer service and they told me to make sure the batteries were charged fully, then press and hold the button for 10 seconds without pulling the lever, release, then operate normally. Since completing this procedure this unit has been a beast. I've cleared 8 in of old wet snow from the sidewalks, cleared my porch, etc. I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of this unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in New York State where we get a lot of snow. Our family has been happy with this snow blower - it has really made our lives' easier. One thing is I was concerned about using a snow blower that required batteries I was worried about the performance. We were pleasantly surprised when we found out that the charge from the batteries last a good amount of time. We were able to get our sidewalk and driveway done and it did very well! Another thing we loved is how quiet this machine is ! We loved this about it ! Have already recommended this to family members!

First time using it today. 4 inches of somewhat heavy snow. Hard to push through this snow, forget about the end of the driveway.. I bought the kit with the cover and ice scraper and 2 extra batteries. Not cheap. It will be useful for small areas with lighter snow but it does not and will not replace a gas self propelled snow blower. My mistake.

Bought this at the end of 2019 and we had no snow for 12 months. When we did get snow it only worked for about 5 minutes. Under warranty they replaced it with a new one. Today we got snow again and it worked well, +/-100' drive all cleared on one set of batteries. I really like this battery model as storage is easy and maintenance low compared with the gasoline one it replaced.

OK, we get snow, and have winter! I just used this for the first time tonight, on heavy, wet snow that would have caused many snow blowers issues. This machine took maybe ten minutes to setup out of the box. That impressed me. I have a two car driveway. I put the batteries in, and away this machine went. I have never had a cleaner driveway after snowfall, even the really heavy snow that I packed down by driving over it, GONE. No gas, no cords, just this great little machine and it worked! A few times it stopped, too much heavy snow. I backed off, started it up, and away it went, cleared it all away. I am impressed, and will definitely add a lawn mower this summer from this company as well! (first, I am impressed, second, their customer service has been excellent, and third, it gives me two more batteries, which I can use in both machines in case I run out of a charge!!!)

This is the second year for my 18 inch Snow Joe with a 40 volt 5.0 ah battery. I can clean all my walks and still have 2 lights of power still available. Today I also cleared my neighbours 2 car driveway. My gas powered John Deere blower just sits in the shed for really severe storms. Love Snow Joe! Great for seniors. Thanks. All I need now is Sun Joe.

This snow blower works great, it light weight and is easy to use. It cut down the time it takes for me to shovel my driveway, my driveway can easily fit 4 cars parked 2 sided to side and 2 cars behind this 2 cars side to side. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I am not able to remove the batteries, I have to get someone to help me, my arthritic hands cannot squeeze and pull the batteries out. Other than that, I think it’s well worth the money.
