good for light fluffy snow, not the heavy stuff

I received my snow joe after the Blizzard.  It did well with the light fluffy snow and can handle 7 inches deep at a time . However it is not very good with the heavy snow.  It does not throw the snow as claimed, but can toss it 6 to 8 feet.
It is light weight and does the job.  If you want a heavy duty snow blower, get the gas one. Make sure you have an extension cord that can handle the amps.

Works great on regular snow but be aware it is not as durable on wet snow as a metal snow shovel.

light weight aluminum. Good for clearing a parking spot in light snow.

Works well in fresh snow but has trouble with compacted snow (from people have walked or cars have driven).  This unit has plenty of power but I do find that the deflector has trouble staying in the vertical position and the directional adjustment is pretty rough.

I would say that the best use of this blower is in areas where you're only going to use it a couple of times a year.

Overall I am happy with the way this snowblower works.  I wouldn't recommend it for places with heavy snowfall but for where I live in northern Utah it works well.

Does a good job on moving 2 - 3 inches of snow out of the way. Any more than that you'll need a plow or snow blower.

Ehhhh. It kind of works. Basically, if the snow is light enough to shovel, then this will work fine. It doesn't work well for heavy, wet snow. I've found that it's generally more work than it's worth.

- The chute directional adjustment rod broke after one use.
- You need a heavy-duty cord, but heavy duty cords are very heavy and cumbersome.

On the plus side, it's easy to maneuver and it's pretty quiet.

I waited until our first significant snowfall to review this blower. It worked pretty well for two minor snowfalls - about an inch of light snow each. It cleared my 9 feet x 160 feet driveway in one charge in about 20 minutes. HOWEVER, it only throws the snow about 2 to 3 feet at best. With a light snowfall, I could start at one side of the driveway and, throwing the snow onto the uncleared part, get all of the snow by throwing it again and again in stages. This was only problematical at the 20 feet wide apron at the top of my driveway.  NOW, we got a foot of snow last night and it was a different story this morning. Most of the snow was dry and light, however the snow at the bottom in contact with the ground was wet and heavy. As I blew the snow onto the uncleared part of the driveway, the wet, deeper piled up snow got harder and harder to get through. I used up the battery in about 20 minutes and only got about one third of the drivewaycleared. I put the battery on the charger while I shoveled by hand for 20 minutes. I (cleverly?) hand-shoveled a strip down the narrow length of the driveway so the blower only had to throw the snow about 2 to three feet to get it off to either side of the driveway. Meanwhile, the battery got charged back up to two out of three lights. I was able to clear about half of the remaining driveway before the battery gave out again. So I finished shoveling by hand. I guess the blower did about half the clearing and I did the rest.

Well, I'm keeping the blower and ordering a second battery and I hope the next big snowfall will be more within the capabilities of this blower.  We usually only get one 12 inch snowfall per year, so I'm going to live with this blower. It is light weight and I don't have to put up with starting a gas motor in the winter. I can't recommend it for people who regularly get more than an inch or two. The secret seems to be to work in a pattern that requires not throwing the snow further that three feet. For deep snow, you need to carefully adjust the width of you bite so as to not bog down the motor, but still get enough snow into the auger for it to throw it effectively. Too little snow and the auger doesn't throw well. Then adjust your walking speed to keep the auger engaged, blowing maximally, but not bogging down.

Good if you live in an area that gets 2" fluffy snow or less. Can not handle more than 2" . chute gets clogged and you spend more time unclogging then blowing snow. Too bad because the idea is great. I use the lawn mower counter part.

If you come across this item while looking for a snow shovel, note that this is a "pusher" and not a "shovel." This is meant to push snow, not to lift it and throw it. I'm saying this because it is very heavy, even when there is no snow on it. Its weight makes it cut through snow very easily. If I have 1-3 inches of snow and want to quickly push it out of the way, this is a great tool for that. I am able to clear my driveway and sidewalk in just a few minutes without being exhausted.

But this is way too heavy to use for tossing snow into piles or for dealing with deep snow- it sinks right into deep snow and I can't push it forward. So I use this for clearing small amounts of snow and have an additional lightweight shovel. They are both useful.

You really have to have the perfect scenario to use this.  Light snow, small area to clear.  It is pretty powerful but it's also heavy.  I thought I'd use it on the walkway (which has steps) leading to my front door but pulling a power cord through the snow and lugging this thing around outweighed it's usefulness.  Turned out to be the same effort as a manual shovel (in my particular case)

It is not particularly light weight for a small machine, has no wheels, and most importantly, the chute is not direction-adjustable.  It is pretty powerful and throws the snow quite a distance, but you have little control over where it's headed.  If you're clearing a deck for instance you would usually want to clear it lengthwise  and toss the snow off the front of the deck requiring a 90 degree throw.  No can do with this, only straight ahead.  It is pretty inconvenient to have to horse it and the cord around to point the whole machine where you want the snow to go.  About 10 minutes of this will leave you covered with snow and with a sore back from lifting it around.  I don't recommend it.  I've only used it a few times.  It is just easier to shovel.

Worked as advertised. Cleared 6 inches of packed snow from half of drive way (previously shoveled the other half which is why I bought this). It also managed to scrape some ice, but I'd recommend a de-icer after clearing with the snow blower. Very light weight and easy to maneuver. Be sure to get a heavy duty outdoor extension that's long enough. Two cords joined will probably trip your GFI. Snow will get in between the joined cords and melt.

I live in Maine and we get a pretty decent amount of snow (this year, 2015, has been unreal).  This is great for clearing snow on a sidewalk or small driveway.  I have had to replace the small drive belt and the rotor.  The light weight makes it easy to handle but does sacrifice durability.  My driveway is about 2 x 3 car lengths and my sidewalk is about 75 feet.  I can clear my driveway and sidewalk in about 30 minutes when there is about a foot of snow on the ground.  I would not recommend this if you have a very long driveway.  One con is the safety mechanism, holding down a button so the power will engage.  I "fixed" that with duct tape.  After three winters I am still glad I bought this snow blower.

I really like these mostly because they're super light. They're not heavy like normal inexpensive rubber boots. They don't keep your feet super warm if you are standing on cold ground though. Wouldn't use them as winter boots but for rain and mud, they're good.

Its nice. I like the fit. It just seems to be more for fashion than function. Slips somewhat easily on thin snow... when walking very slowly and cautiously..the grips on the bottoms aren't very ''grippy''. I still like them. I just have a different pair I use for shoveling snow lol

Great snowbroom for a really decent price. I use it on a minivan which needs a lot of snow clearing. The extendable handle makes it so I can clear off the roof or side from edge to edge in one push. The materials and quality doesn't seem to be the best, but it is more than one could expect from the price.

works well but the telescoping handle does not stay extended when dealing with icy snow.  Strong, as it has not broken but the handle keeps collapsing down.  I've tighten as tight as possible.  I think this is great for west coast and rocky mountain snow that is fluffy, but east coast snow that is sometimes icy, not great.
