We purchase the unit to help reduce the amount of shoveling we do like many. We have a gas driven snowblower, but wanted something to clear paths and smaller areas. My first impression is that the unit works very well. It is light enough that my wife found it easy to maneuver. I used it to clear the area at the end of our driveway from the plow wash and it it handled the three inches pretty well. Not sure how it will handle deeper wash. That is another test. The one drawback is the lack of veins to direct the snow to one side or the other. This would change the review from good to excellent. The battery seems one of the better, but again that is another review update when I can push the unit further. Overall, I'm very happy with the unit.

I purchased this product in November 2021, just in time for the snow season in Pennsylvania. The battery failed. I reached out about a replacement and the company did not have one - this I understood due to supply chain issues. HOWEVER, batteries now appear to be in stock and the company has failed to reach out and solve the battery failure issue. Now I have a very expensive plastic item of no value ~ unfortunately I should have done business with the large chain.

Now that I have had my Snow Joe Cordless Snow Shovel for a couple months, I'm ready to write a review. At first, I thought it was only good for that "sweet spot" of 1-3 inches of snow. But yesterday and today I used it on 4-11 inches. It can handle very deep snow if you take it slow. I used it yesterday while still in my robe and slippers (sorry no photo) and did not get covered in snow like other reviewers - but I'm in Minnesota and we understand snow and wind and physics. I haven't run out of battery life during a shoveling session yet - it's good for at least 1/2 hour. It's lightweight - I call it my snow vacuum - one hand is all that's needed if you're clearing just a couple inches. Perfect for decks, patios, walkways. For a large driveway I use it for the edges and let the gas-powered machine handle the large job. Well worth the money, very convenient.

SnowJoe was delivered on Tuesday, forecast called for snow Wednesday night so I unboxed quickly and charged the battery and used it 1st time on Thursday am for about 2" snow. Worked great! For small amounts of snow we don't have someone plow so I wanted something to make it easier on the back. I was able to do our deck, walk, drive and drive to our barn without having to recharge the battery. Our drive is packed gravel and no issue to use this. Much easier on the back than a shovel and much quicker. Only negative is the same issue others have mentioned, the snow will come back at you with the slightest wind, so dress accordingly because you will be covered with snow. Overall very happy with this product.

This was a great little shovel for a few storms. On about the 4th storm, the shovel started to smell terrible (burning plastic) and smoking. I was very disappointed, as I used the shovel a few times prior, and just bought an additional battery, and of course it just destroyed itself. I will be getting ego brand next time, they have a much better product.

Used for the first time this week to clear my back deck after a NE storm. Cleared roughly 8-12 inches of medium packed snow easily and quickly with one pass. What usually takes me 45-60 minutes to shovel took about 15-20 minutes tops! Got right down to the deck too with no scratching ! No aches & pains the next day either. Awesome !

I purchased this online because I was looking for something light & small to clear the deck off. I was also thinking it would be good for the front steps & walkway. Whoever designed the way the chute blows snow definitely did not put much thought into it. Unless there is absolutely no wind blowing, you will probably get 80% of all the snow you are trying to remove..to blow up in the air & right back on top of you. I looked like a snowman after using it for about 2 min & tried adjusting the angle & direction while using it. The videos make it look like the snow does not get on you, but that is not the case. I was considering just throwing it away. All it needs is some type of a lip at the top of the chute to redirect the snow from going straight up in the air. I used a leftover piece of a 4"x4" pvc hollow fence post. I cut 2 flat sides off and was left with a 4"x 4" angle piece. I attached it to the inside of the chute full width with self tapping screws. Once I used it, all the snow now blew in front of me. I realized I did not need a full 4" extension, so I cut 2 more inches off the angle piece so the snow hits a 4"x2" pvc angle. It works fine now. If I had the materials handy, I might have just used a piece of 4" pvc pipe & cut it in half & attached a piece full width 13" long across the top of the chute so the snow would just roll off it in front of the machine smoother. Either way, if you don't attach something to the top of the chute...plan on looking like a snowman if you run this for more than 2 minutes.

In two days it will be 3 months since I have had this shovel and I have not been able to use it even once. I wish I had returned it immediately when it did not work, rather than try to get it fixed. If they had replaced the entire unit including battery and charger, I would not be writing this. Instead, one piece at a time was replaced without success and now I am waiting for a battery which shows no sign of arriving anytime soon. I have never before had to endure a defective product and ridiculously slow support like this.

Shovel works well for my situation. Live in an apartment where landlord does iffy job on sidewalk by my door and around parked cars. This works good for this small area, was pleasantly surprised in many levels of accumulation. For deeper snow need to lift and take half at a time. Have a balance issue and the angle of the handle if helpful for its use. Assembly was fairly easy but screws that hold handles could be better and are difficult to get tight enough.

Bought this to clear a path to my side door in garage, a path so we could have our fuel oil and propane delivered, and to clear out in front of garage car doors. Works great for this! Someone suggested a screen to protect you from the snow. That would be a good idea. Otherwise I am very happy with my snow joe!
