How high and far does it throw a dry/light snow and a wet/heavy snow? How dry is dry <gr>blows snow way out. The snow pattern is not concentrated like from agas snow blower. Greenworks snow spreads out as a thin covering over area 10 to 30 feetin front of machine. Wet slushy snow piles up a feet in front. Wish this model hada deflector to send snow to side. This winter I bought a 22 inch Ariens self propelled snow blower for heavy snow. It is a lot more workto use.

REMEMBER, everything is thrown straight ahead. Light snow, 4-5 feet, heavier snow, 1-2 feet. You just make several passes when it's deep or heavy.

The snow is thrown straight ahead. It isn't adjustable. How far it throws, is dependent on the snow. A powdery snow will be thrown 10-15'. A wet snow substantially less. This machine (I feel) is designed for light snowfalls 3-4" at best. If there is a substantial amount expected, I would clear off the snow every few inches. If you have a very long walk or driveway, this is not the machine that you need. For stairs, short walkways, etc. It works very well.

Also depends how fast you push the snowblower to go. In heavy snow I got about 10 feet if I went fast, 20 feet if I went at a slow-walk.

I used it on 12 inches of moderately wet snow. It threw it about 8 feet. I had to push very hard to move the blower into the snow. It's not "self propelled". You have to work hard.

My girlfriend uses it with no issues. It is more the amount of snow you have to deal with. I find that it can handle about four or five inches. If you have more snow on the ground you have to work in layers

Yes to rain or snow. It is a lot heavier than a smaller one. It can be moved on a flat level surface without too much trouble. I use a hydraulic lift table to load it into my pickup. It does run the ac in my trailer whereas the smaller unit would not.

Ok, I went out to throw snow and I specifically watched the distance. I have to admit that it went up to 30 feet, cleared the driveway and over my mound in the yard and over to the far lane of the street. As long as it was nice dry fluffy snow it actually did throw it up to 30'. Obviously this is in optimal conditions but it did do it.

Richard when I can reach it I will measure for you, currently it is under 3 feet of snow! ...It is fabulous, easy to assemble, great design, inexpensive!

This is the lightest snow blower I have ever owned and being in Wisconsin, I have owned a lot of them... It is extremely light weight and the battery can be carried in a coat pocket... I keep the charger in the house and re charge after every use... In snow up to 4" (about 75% of our snowfalls) it worked wonderfully last winter...Pushing it on it's wheels is extremely effortless... By the way, I am 80 years old.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps

Yes I did blow snow with it. It worked fine on the light dust. Not so much on the wetter stuff. I still applied salt to make sure I didn't slip.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

we mounted ours on a post approx. 30"-36" tall and I like it better. In our situation, the transmitter is better protected, reads cars better and is not where a snow removal process would damage it. Ours has had snow on it and it still worked fine.

Not enough snow. At least a few inches required for snow to blow up through. Blower. Love the snow joe, now in our third year, works great, we do not use with just an inch, blades will hit paving, not a good idea, use with three or more inches, and use caution with heavy slushy we're snow. Don,t gigive up

John, I live in California so this would be a bit if a guess, but if light snow means snow that isn't wet and sticky, but rather snow that which is light and airy, then I would say yes... It could blow light and airy snow off of a driveway, If a bunch if snow has landed and some of its packed further down, I'd say any blower would have a tough time getting it off the ground.

No, this device just throws the snow straight forward. It does throw a it quite a ways, 20-30 feet but just forward.
