we’ve gotten hit with record snowfall in the Great Lakes area this year

I’ve had this kickass lil machine for a month now & it’s definitely already paid for itself! I’m in rural Michigan, we’ve gotten hit with record snowfall in the Great Lakes area this year, most in the past month. I’ve used it 5 times already, it’s perfect on the deck & our front walk of pavers, takes a bit of trial & error to use it on grass or other uneven ground. I mostly use it to cut trails through the snow for our 2 small terriers & it works great now that I know how to angle it up for a smooth pass over the ground. Biggest job it handled was this afternoon digging our jeep out of the yard after it slid off the driveway, 4 wheel drive was no match for the latest snowstorm lol. We cleared a 15’x50’ area of 14” deep snow in under 30mins & the jeep is now free! I ordered this 100’ cord: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073VZV6KF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also strongly recommend ordering this cord reel for storing the cord if you want to avoid “inanimate object rage”: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000BYDKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Really happy with this purchase! Keeping Snow Joe products in mind for the approaching spring clean up this year.

#Blizzard2016

QUICKLY digging out in 2016! I am letting my neighbors use it now that I'm finished. Despite its small size, this snow blower got me through our recent January blizzard here in VA. We measured 22" of snow. I live on a hill with street parking. My sidewalks aren't too long. I bought a 100' extension cord to use with it. The plug is surrounded by a dome shaped cylinder to keep it from getting wet, however my cord separated when I stepped on it, nothing I couldn't prevent.. I wrapped a ziplock around the plug and used gorilla tape to keep the plastic sealed. The cord did seem to get in my way a few times but luckily I used the fence posts to hold it out of my way so I could push through. With each patch I knelt down to let the blade lift off the top layer of snow, then I'd stand up and set the blades all the way down. I would run the blades into the chunks that broke off. It really flung the snow pretty high way over my 4ft fence and into my yard, away from the street. I can't wait for a regular 2-3" snow fall. It will likely take me 10 minutes to clear.

Amazing! For 3 times the price of a really good snow shovel. 45 minutes work turned into 8 minutes. Awesome product!!!

I have to admit that I was prepared to be underwhelmed by a $90 electric snow blower, Wow! First off the instructions could be better... once assembled though this thing is like magic. it weighs about the same as a big shovel full of wet snow so it's super easy to carry to where you need it (I have a raised lawn with a side walk that has steps). It does a great job of moving snow (about 10-15 feet regardless of what the propaganda says). It is very easy to move and as it is all plastic there is little worry that if you hit your car you'll do any damage. It is probably not for a 75' driveway but for a normal drive and sidewalk this is the thing. if you get surprised by snow because the weatherman gets it wrong (shocker right?). you can actually lift the thing over the hood and get to work, try that with a gas powered one. one caveat is you want to make sure that you get a good extension cord that is rated for outdoor use.

Good price, good power, real light, can carry with one hand

Just used it first time. About 7 inches of fluffy snow and handles it without straining one bit. The blower weighs about 5 lbs, so it was really easy to handle, easy on the back.Has throwing power as good as the two gas ones I have taken apart in the garage broken down.Only thing was is that cord was a pain. Frozen cords don't flex or bend, so hard to handle, but kinda got use to it quick. It took me 15 minutes to do a driveway and walk that would of took a half hour with the gas ones, because those gas one's weigh 5 times as much. I mean you can pick this thing up with one hand and carry it around, so it would be easy to throw into the car and take to my moms to do her house, something I could never do with the gas ones. I got a 100 ft 16 cord and no problem with power, had alot, but your range is really limited by the length of the core. It's $30 for the kid down the street to shove, so this thing pays for itself in one winter. A new gas one is $599, for the money, this thing is a great value. No sore back.

The Little Blower that Could!

Just got done using the blower for the first time...and have to say, I am very impressed with this little beast. It just snowed 4 inches of heavyish snow, and this little guy had no problems gobbling it up. Now if you are expecting to pick up snow like a $700-$1000 monster gas machine-it won't. But for me, this is a great simple eco-alternative to a gas machine. Additionally, its significantly more eco friendly (and more powerful from everything I have heard) than the battery Joe-Snow that sells for 3 times more. It took only a few minutes to set up, and a few more to figure out how to use it. It is very light, so I can pick it up and move it, and when done, keep it on my front porch-great! I saw others recommend using a cold weather extension cord. I already had one, and yes, it does make it easy. Given this has a plastic vs metal auger, hopefully the cord has a better chance of surviving if I ever run over it. Finally, its easy to adjust the direction of the blower, and that worked just fine. I try to review items, considering the purchase price, and with that in mind, in my opinion, this is a steal for those looking to save yet get a quality machine that works great for smaller areas.

Nice little snowblower

Nice little snowblower. I was surprised how far this little machine could toss the snow. I purchased it to clean off the back patio for the dog. ( 14 x 35 area ). We received about 2" of slushy snow the day it arrived, It worked like a charm. I tired using my 2 stage gas blower and the slushy snow plugged it up. So this impressed me it was much easier than shoveling. A few days later we got 4 inches of snow. My wife wanted to learn how to use it, incase I wasn't around. She started on the patio while I took the gas blower out front to the driveway. She finished the paito came around front and did half the drive. The benefit is these little machines is it will go as fast as you can push them, well with in reason of course. While the larger gas machines will go through deeper snow they do so at a slower pace. Bottomline: The little electric is great for lighter snow falls under 6". The only con I can see so far is you need to plug it in, but this is also a PLUS because you don't need gas. Keep in mind this is mostly all plastic so treat it as such and you will be fine. It's not built out of steel so if you treat it like it is you may be disappointed. If you treat it with respect it should last a while.

For clearing 30 inches of snow, it's like cutting grass that is too high. You need two passes but it does the job

So I was able to order next day deliver in advance of the Jonas storm of 2016. So far in Baltimore we have at least 30 inches of snow. I went out and was able to clear deep deep snow. It's like cutting grass that is too high. You need to takes but it works. And this is the best investment I've made in a tool for snow in a long time. Now I know why people buy snow blowers. But I love this electric device, no gas, easy maintenance, and right now, it's inside so the ice can melt off of it. This is perfect for my small walk in the front and back. So for 30 inches, it does fine and for 12 inches or less it will do even better. I would buy it again in a split second

spent 40 years building machines

I have had this Snowjoe SJ618E for all of this winter in Wisconsin. The last snow was 8 inches of medium heavy snow on a 85 foot 22 foot wide drive. Very good packing snowball type of snow. I have spent 40 years designing and building machines for industry. It really makes me mad when things don't work as they should. This little machine is great. Not perfect but I love it. I use a 14 gage 100 foot cold weather cord (they recommend 12 but I think it is an overkill. 14 can handle 13 amps just fine) and it works fine. Put it on a floor standing cord reel for storage. pull out what you need, plug it in and go. You get use to pulling the cord behind you in short order. Not a problem. I made a few changes to mine ASAP. on the knobs that hold the shoot in the angle you select I removed the knobs and put two small fat O rings over each of the bolts and put the knobs back on. you then tighten the knobs just enough so the shoot can be moved up and down without turning the knobs at all. The O rings act like springs. I put a small extension on the shoot to direct the snow down just a bit more than what it was, because in the wind the snow would be blown back at me. The safety button is a bit of a pain with heavy gloves on. Do something about that if you want. Remember it is there to protect you. From what I don't Know. It throws snow 20 feet. The review where the person said 3 feet, I don't understand. In snow that is 1 or two inches you need to walk fast to get enough snow into the machine to get it to work. Packed snow where the plow piles it up you need to take it easy and work a little to get through it. I have pushed it pretty hard and no problems. Parts if you ever need them: The belt $8 a new auger is only $14 ! A extended warranty is like $5 Do I recommend the machine. You bet ! I bought one for my daughter. She text me after a storm and said " I LOVE YOU SO %&##&% MUCH". for the snow blower I guess .. PS.. I have a 26 inch two stage blower I may never use again. Watch Ebay for a deal on it. :)

This unit works!

The Snow Joe arrived on Friday and Mother Nature gave us snow here in Southwest Virginia on Saturday night into Sunday. Low side 10 inches and mostly 15 t 18 inches. Connected the unit to a 12 wire 50 ft. extension cord and gave it a try. Frankly, I had my concerns regarding the little unit's ability to do the job. Going slowly, forward and back, listening to the sound of the motor, so as not to bog it down, the little unit pdrformed flawlessly. I am 76 years old with a bad back and would not have physically been able to shovel the space the Snow Joe did without paying in pain. The space was about 50 ft square so that my little beagle, (Her Highness) could go outside when necessary. This was a grassy area so I took care not to try to dig the ground. Was I impressed? Absolutely! This was only the first use and I siliconed the snow chute and I brushed off the snow when done then brought it inside the cellar to dry. If this unit continues to do the job it did it will have been a really good investment.

Works great for smaller areas

Got this just in time for the heaviest snow of the year, over two feet in about 36 hours. Upsides: cheap, easy to operate, relatively lightweight and small, does the job very well. We have about 1200-1400 or so square feet of sidewalk and driveway, and even with foot-deep accumulations between the times I went out to clear the snow, this 'Snow-Joe' handled it easily. Took me about 40 minutes to clear a foot of snow... would have taken me about an hour to shovel, and my back would have strongly objected. Reality check: it's not so good with hard-pack and (like nearly all snowblowers) barely touches ice; strictly manual operation; and of course it's corded, which means managing your extension cord is part of the job. If we had a much larger area to clear, we would want something bigger... one tip: the speed at which you push this into the snow makes all the difference (yes, you have to push). Too slow, and there's not enough snow moving through the machine to throw it any distance; too fast, and it bogs down - it ain't a high horsepower machine. Especially important with heavy wet snow - it may clog a few times if you're feeding too fast. Still, if your job is about the same size as ours or smaller, I highly recommend it!
