does a good job.

I bought this last January, and not much use, however have had to use it about 8-10 times this february moving 2 to 8 inches of snow at a time, . and it has done a good job. has a tough time with the frozen chunks, but sweeps the loose snow very favorably. Beats the shoveling by 100%. No complaints.

Impressive post-Blizzard performance

Just used this baby to dig out from the East Coast Blizzard (near DC). Had to shave off snow to throw from the 3-4 ft drifts, but made the chore much easier. I was amazed at how far this thing can throw the snow. Would recommend for anyone. Light enough that my wife could use it too.

Handled nor'easter

This arrived in time for the March 21, 2018 storm on the east coast. We got around 9 inches of wet snow. The machine handled the wet snow, although it took some pushing for the deeper snow. Performed as expected.

Very happy with the purchase

Very happy with the purchase. We had over a foot of snow and this came very handy. Of course I had to do it 3 times and I do have a long drive way. Best thing is there were no fumes and I found the machine to be very powerful. The snow which the plow throws back on the driveway this handled it pretty good. It did get clogged as the snow was mixed with salt and was heavy but by pushing it back and forth few times it was very helpful and the clogged part was easy to clear by putting my hand through the chute (the machine was of course shut before I put my hand in it :-) The only thing I was little uncomfortable was the lugging around of the wire but what else do you expect with an electric snow blower. It was easy to clean and looks brand new once cleaned up. Some complained about the safety switch but I actually liked it, Better safe than sorry.

many reviews on the various Snow Joe electric models I decided on this one and hoped it was going to be a good decision. Well

After reading many, many reviews on the various Snow Joe electric models I decided on this one and hoped it was going to be a good decision. Well, after 8" of snow and sub-freezing temperatures, it was a great decision. I am very pleased with this unit. It clears down to the surface. No need to go over it 2 or 3 times, and no need to sweep what was missed. Because the pavement was wet under the snow and we are below freezing, I put down ice melt for my dog. That's it! Easiest snow removal ever.

It works, well worth the price.

Ordered it in February, it showed up in July (sigh), assembly was trivial. I used it for the first time today (NJ - Blizzard Jan 2016). The snow was between 6 inches and 18 inches this morning, then this afternoon it was 3 to 6 inches. I struggled a lot the first pass (especially at the bottom of the driveway), but the second pass was smooth as can be. Then an hour later two guys with fancy ($1000) snow blowers showed up to do my neighbours driveway, and they were struggling worse than I was. Made me feel real good! The good: - It worked, better than a shovel for sure. Not as well as I dreamed, but faster than shoveling and far less effort. Can't argue with "it worked"! - Not as effective as a $500 / $1000 gas snow blower, but FAR more than 50% / 25% as effective. - Yeah it looks like a kids toy, but ... starts up REAL snappy, manoeuvres easy, and throws the snow like it is not kidding around at all. The bad: - The extension cord is generally a pain in the ass all around (as expected). And DO NOT run over the extension cord, it will get sucked in FAST, and mangled. I still need to figure out a good way to deal with that friggin cord... - Does not work so good when snow is over 1 foot deep (as expected). For a big snow, either get out early and clear the snow in stages, or expect to struggle. Bottom line: I expect this will work well for me 90%-95% of the time, which is "good enough". For the 5-year Blizzard, I plan to hire someone with heavier gear to clear it. Overall, WELL worth the $250.

A great snow blower

This unit is easy to assemble, easy to turn on and use. The first use was a 6" snowfall. It worked flawlessly clearing our driveway and walks in short time. Buy this unit if you need what it offers.

A Good Purchase! I like (Snow) Joe!

The timing of my purchase aligned nicely with the east coast snowstorm that started on January 22, 2016. Because of the two days of snow and the high snow amounts, I cleaned my 100 ft+ driveway and sidewalks twice over two days. The first day was a light snow and about 5 inches. The blower handled it very easily and quickly. It didn't scrape to the pavement perfectly but it was close to what my neighbors with larger gas blower were able to achieve. On day two, after a heavier snow overnight, things were a bit more challenging. The snow was probably 7 additional inches and it was a heavier snow. I had to overlap passes to keep moving. The alternative was to push down on the handle to tilt the blades higher to "take off the top" then do an additional swipe to clean down to a flat path. It cleaned fine but took extra time. It took mere minutes to put the unit together. Instructions were very clear and the unit was packaged very nicely. I am giving the unit the full 5 stars although it wasn't perfect. However, I pushed the boundaries of what this unit was advertised to do. Given a regular snow of 6 inches or less, I would have been extremely happy without reservation about my purchase.

A Nice Blower

A few days after this arrived we received about 14" of fairly wet snow. I was skeptical of how well this could perform with that much snow, but it did a pretty good job; it still takes a little effort to push it through that much snow, but it is a lot easier on your back than shoveling. You do have to deal with a long extension cord, which is a little bit of a hassle, but this is a lot cheaper than a gas blower and it can sit for years and not have starting issues. If we always received a lot of snow I'd go with a gas blower, but I hope to only use this once or twice a year. Two items that will make this electric snow blower easier to handle are a good cold weather extension cord and a good cord winder to store it with. I found both here on Amazon in the “US Wire 99100 12/3 100-Foot SJEOW TPE Extreme Weather Extension Cord” and the “Quick Winder RAP-100 Electric Cord Reel.” Edit 01/28/2016: I've edited this to include a photo after clearing 10" inches of snow that was on top of about 2" I had not yet cleared. Once again it takes some effort to push this through that much snow, but it was much easier on my back.

Wide and powerful

Great machine with plenty of power. I chose this one because it is the widest electric model on the market. Be sure to get a quality 12 gauge extension cord or it could harm the motor. With about 6 inches of snow I was able to throw it about 18 ft high and about 25 feet away. It easily cleared the heavy snow at the end of the drive from the street plow with a couple passes. Never throw snow into the road! It's rude, dangerous and illegal. It works at least as good as my old Toro 2-stroke gas machine, but I now don't stink like exhaust after I'm done and it starts every time too. The Snow Joe website also sells parts to keep it running for many seasons as things wear out. I plan to keep this a long time.
