Electric is the Way to Go

I live on a corner lot in Chicago and came home this evening to 4 inches of new powder. I retrieved the battery from its charger, plugged it in and within 20 minutes, my double driveway, 150' of sidewalk, another 50' of sidewalk, my neighbor's 50' front, my walkway, a parkway walk and my back patio were all clear. It even crunched through the snow-plowed banks that led into the street, which my old gas machine could never touch. Now, granted, that was only 4", but I've used it also in 8-10" and it does not complain or slow down one bit. I can walk behind it almost as quickly as I wish. Electric gives you extraordinary torque to get through the tough stuff and I have yet to see the battery give in before I do, even in wet snow. It is whisper quiet. In fact, I met a neighbor, while out tonight, and he and I were able to carry on a conversation, while I held the bail engaged. He commented: "that is the quietest snow-blower I have ever seen." Now that engine starter, gelatinized gas lines, mixing, leaks and the embarrassing, unbearable noise are no longer part of my life, I can actually enjoy an evening walk in the snow. Don't even think about a corded blower. I don't understand other reviewers' gripes about the Snow Joe's snow throwing prowess. I easily plaster the windows of parked cars from the sidewalk as the snow arcs over a 10' wide easement. If that's good enough "for women/the elderly," as one reviewer put it, then its good enough for me. If you really want to wait until the snow accumulates past 12" before you get to work, then by all means buy machine that is most at home in a ski resort. You'll feel powerful, as your neighbors curse your name. If you live in this world, get a Snow Joe. The only thing I ding it on is the fact that the flip-top battery case will sometimes flip open if you hit a bump, but reaching over the bar to bat it closed every so often is a minor annoyance, compared to the peace in all other areas. I happily sold my final gas rig over the summer. You will not regret this purchase.

Easy to Use & Reliable

Winters in New England --- I love them...even the snow but as I get a little older shoveling snow isn't quite as enjoyable as it once was. While we have a plow service for anything over 4", one still has to clear a long driveway when there's less snow or when the temp drops it freezes & creates quite the mess causing you to pray for bigger storm so the plow guy will come LOL. Further, in any storm, walkways and other areas still need to be cleared and we discussed picking up a snowblower for years. Having been very pleased with Snow/Sun Joe items in the past we took a chance and are thrilled with the decision. Even hubby doesn't mind post snow clean up now that we have this unit. It's not too heavy but is very easy to use and is effective. The battery run time is more than sufficient for a single storm. The only "trick" I've noted is if there isn't too much snow, one needs to walk a bit more quickly so the hopper fills and throws appropriately. Needless to say it's not designed for a foot of snow but when used for its purpose it works very well.

I am impressed. Just took care of 9 inches to 1 foot of snow.

We just had a big snow storm in Michigan. Snow easily got up to 9 inches. Some areas up to a foot. It handled it well if you do it right. Things that worked for me. If it stops shooting snow out the top just slow down. Even stop and let it catch up. There were times where the snow would stop shooting out because it was too high. But if I went real slow on those areas it kept trucking through. It also helps if you tilt the handles away from you to help the rotating disks to lightly scrap the pavement. It’s gives you a little momentum to help you keep going. It doesn’t give you nearly the push a gas blower does but to me the pros of this electric blow far outweigh the negatives. I love it. No regrets at all.

A great purchase!

The Snow Joe cordless saved my 55 year old female butt this 2015 winter in Southern New England! Easy to maneuver, light weight and blows the snow far enough to the side or wherever you aim it. Plus no maintenance on the motor and a child can put it together. I never even used the directions it was so easy! I bought a second battery though, because the 45-50 minute time frame and then 2.5 hours to recharge was my only downside. Having the 2nd battery was more than enough time to do all of my 3 car driveway, front sidewalk and rear walk. I was lucky to get delivery (most places out of stock) right after the 1st huge snow storm on Jan 27 and used it to remove my huge snow drifts from my poor shoveling job. Then we got snow about every 5 days until the 1st week of March and I was truly grateful for buying this wonderful machine. My old snow blower was gas and it was so heavy I had trouble getting out of the garage. And even after draining the gas in the spring, it would need new lines by winter as they would freeze up. I never have to go though that again with my Snow Joe nor do I need gas and oil ever again! I got the 21 inch over the 18 inch and the power and size are perfect for a woman of any age! In fact, the Snow Joe has already paid for itself and the extra battery just from money I saved not having to hire someone to shovel all of this winter's storms!

Great product, tons of benefit

This is the link at the video I created using this guy: http://youtu.be/t_ACtL9qclA I definitely love it. Considering that I owned it for about a month and I have to say that I'm completely satisfied with it! I live in Michigan, so that's a place where snow falling is pretty high. I'll tell you this: yesterday, I was able to clean my driveway, sideways and patio and then, to move to a friend's of mine home (easily carrying it into my car trunk) and did the same thing at his place. After all of this, I was worried about how much battery life was still left and, after cleaning mine and my friends driveways and sideways, I discovered there were still 2 led out of 3 available! That was an outstanding performance! Of course, you can't expect to throw the snow very far if there is just 1.5 inch of snow on the ground. But that's definitely not the case in which you need to do it in the real world. I suggest to buy this little, eco-friendly, quite, light and powerful guy!!!

Clears Snow Remarkably Well!

Survived 2 Michigan Winters and expect it'll hold up for many more! I was pleasantly surprised when this toy-looking machine serviced my driveway without any hiccups whatever upon first use. And dozens of charging cycles later it's still performing very well! It is very easy to use and lightweight. My father was impressed with how easier it appeared versus gas snow blowers, so I bought one for his house and he loves using it too! A+ product, rated by a happy buyer of 2 of these.

Great machine for what it's intended to do...

I debated between 4 and 5 stars for this little guy and settled on 5 stars based on two factors: 1. Its performance compared to how it is supposed to be used, and 2. Its ability to do more than what it was intended to do. I have used my Snow Joe iON21SB-PRO three times since receiving it a week ago and this machine moved 4 inches of light fluffy snow with ease. It managed to do a standard 2 car wide driveway that is @35 feet long (no mess from the plow to deal with), plus 4 foot out into the street and about 160 feet of sidewalk on a single charge...@ 45-50 minutes of near constant hard work/running. For what it is worth, the battery recharged from near flat to full charge in only a couple of hours, which was plenty fast for me. My SB21-PRO has also moved 3 inches of wet snow very effectively as well, even though it is not designed to do so. Don't get me wrong, it was not the happiest camper dealing with wet snow, nor did it throw it very far in comparison to what it can do with fluffy snow. I also sprayed some "non-stick" stuff in the chute and on the auger before going to town on the wet stuff. Bottom line, the SB21-PRO cleared my driveway and sidewalk of wet snow before the battery ran low, and I was not expecting it to get that much done...so I was pleasantly surprised. The one drawback I see is this thing probably won't clear up any piles of love left at the bottom of the driveway by the city plow. In my area, the city plow doesn't come up the street unless there is 5-6" or more of new snow so the pile is substantial when it does run. Is it worth knocking off a star because this Snow Joe won't eat up what the plow leaves? No, I don't think so because this snow blower is intended to move only light and fluffy snow that is no more than 8 inches deep. Also, I didn't buy this one to chew on the city plow left overs, I bought it to do the driveway and sidewalk. A big box store has another battery powered rig that a neighbor across the street has...and that WILL chew through the city plow pile, but it is also nearly twice the price. If you're considering one, keep these things in mind: 1. Know your snow. If you typically get lots of heavy wet snow, you probably won't be happy with this one. If you typically get light fluffy stuff in amounts under 8 inches at a time, you'll be in the sweet zone for what this can do. 2. This model has a more powerful motor and larger capacity battery than the 18" version...so for me, it was worth the extra money for the stronger motor and larger battery in comparison to the 18". 3. You can move wet snow with this, but it may not be happy about it. Help it out with some "non-stick" spray (also available on Amazon) and find a pace that it is happy running. For me, I found it threw the wet snow a little better if I charged into the snow a little quicker and only took a 1/2 to 3/4 path, not a full width path of snow. 4. After you press the safety button and squeeze the activation bar the snow blower takes a couple seconds to start and spool up the auger. If you expect instant on, you may not be happy with this. Personally, the slower start gives me a couple extra seconds to position it for the next pass and check my surroundings to make sure no one is walking into the path of the snow discharge. 5. The light has no off switch...it comes on when you turn on the main unit power switch and goes off when you turn off the snow blower. This bugs me, as I don't need the light during the day, so it is just wasting battery. Good luck and happy snow removal!

Great tool for Senior with partial stroke damage.

I have stroke damage, 80% loss on my left side arm and hand, so conventional snow shovels are not an option for me anymore. I bought this in early December 2016. It arrived a day late due to excessive snow storms!. My Son brought it in from the Post Office that evening, with 17" of fresh snow on the ground! I charged the battery overnight, and got to use it the next morning. Tilting the auger up to get the high snow, then down to get to the surface... I managed to clear my 50' semi-circular sidewalk, and two-car garage entry pad... and still had battery power left over. The out chute will clog up if the outside temperature gets above 32°F, so I bought the Snow Joe Clearing Tool, and mounted it on the inside of the upper left push handle. It is easy to grasp there, and allows folding of the push handle, without interference. On warmer days, I try to get out in the evening or early morning when the outside temperature is below 32°F. The remote control rotation of the out chute allows precise adjustment of the blown snow. Another popular brand has a mechanical control that is mostly left or right, with little control in between. Final deciding factor for this brand was going to the factory sites to check for availability of replacement parts. Snow Joe listed many of the common wearable, or easily broken parts linked to the product page. The other popular brand had minimal or substitute model parts listed. UPDATE: I bought a Snow-Joe 40V snow shovel bare tool and a second 5.0Ah battery a couple months after getting this snowblower to get to those areas the snowblower can't, like steps, porch and rear deck. Later this Spring and Summer I purchased a Sun-Joe 40V 16" chainsaw, bare tool and a 40V pole saw with 2.5Ah battery. With effectively 2 1/2 batteries, I can get through any project without concern about charge time.

My only thought was there has to be a better way and I found this on Amazon

I bought this last winter. We had a few inches of snow fall and when I went out to shovel it, my shovel broke. My only thought was there has to be a better way and I found this on Amazon. To be honest, I was very skeptical. I mean, honestly, how well could a battery operated snow blower work? When it arrived, assembly was extremely easy. I put the battery on the charger and waited till the next snowfall. Living in Michigan, it didn't take long. We got about 4 inches of snow overnight. The next morning I knew I had to clean the snow before going to work. I got it out, put in the fully charged battery, and with a lot of doubts, started clearing the snow. I was totally amazed. Once I got the chute adjusted correctly, it was throwing the snow about 10 feet away. What was taking me about 45 minutes or longer to do with a shovel was finished in 15 minutes and everything was cleaned as well as any gas powered blower I have seen. Now, in 2017, it still surprises me. Yesterday was a day of nonstop snow fall. My neighbors and myself had gotten our snow blowers out and cleaned after about every 4 or 5 inches. The snow finally started to let up late in the evening. With about 5 inches of snow on the ground, I started cleaning for the third time that day. Like always, it took me about 15 minutes to get mine cleaned up. I than went across the street and did the drive and walks of an elderly neighbor. When that was finished, I helped another neighbor finish theirs. All together, I was running the blower for nearly an hour and it never slowed down and did just as well as my neighbors gas blower. I really do love this machine. The only drawbacks I have seen is that the electric chute sometimes needs help to turn and I'm not sure if the light is needed. If your using at night with fresh snow, it is usually bright enough that the light is unnecessary.

Works great in many conditions. 45+ min charge. Easy, quiet, and no gas fumes.

Used at least 6 times in various conditions. Works like a champ in every type of snow. Had a late season dump of 9" very wet and heavy and I didn't think it would work at all, but even that was no problem (although I took 6" slices). Light powder snow and it'll last 50+ minutes, but if you push it hard under a load, especially wet/heavy and it may last only 30. Throws it far, I'd say 15' with 3-4", but only throws it 6-8' if the snow is under 2". More is better for that. I love the toggle switch for turning the throw direction. It works great and swivels very fast. Very quiet and no gas smell. Really impressed. Oh, unit is light and easy to maneuver around.
