Product seems to be well built and solid. When turned on it seems to put out as advertised but will have to wait till snow falls to really decide its qualities.

Review 2 for Snow Joe Ultra 13-Amp 19" Electric Snow Thrower
Was a Life Saver

I purchased this thrower this past winter with the reports of 2-3 feet of snow coming (it was the last blower of any kind that they had). I knew I wanted electric as I didn't want to worry around with gas. This little guy performed great! As my other neighbors pulled out there big gas blowers or ATVs, I plugged mine in and went to work lol! I'm sure my neighbors were laughing inside until I got to work. The Snow Joe cleared my drive in about 20 minutes, what would normally take me 45min of hard labor with the shovel. It also easily cleared the snow 15-20 feet depending on the density of the snow. It was also great because it is portable. I was able clear my garage then carry it through the house and out to my fairly large deck and clear that off too (my dogs appreciated it) Can't wait for next winter! Some things to note:
1. This is best suited for small to medium size driveways (mine is a 4 car) not mile long ones.
2. The heavier the snow the harder it has to work (pretty typical of any blower though)
3. This performed extremely well during the 40" snow storm we got this year but I went out a few times to clear (about every 8-10" or so).
4. Before each clearing, I sprayed the inside the the shute with WD40. This really helped the snow throw further (I tried it with and without).
Hope this helps!

Was only able to try for a little bit after the big snow.I think it's a little more powerful than the Toro and also bigger! Don't have that much to snow blow (30 feet of driveway and about 20 feet of sidewalk) but with 3 back surgeries and a knee replacement, it really makes the job a lot easier than a shovel!

In all fairness, the snow we have been having has been very heavy and wet, and perhaps this blower would work ok if you got right after it. But that isn't always possible and we accumulated about 12-16 inches on the driveway It lasted about 10 minutes before the switch smoked and burned out. It may be okay for light duty, but I wouldn't recommend it for any serious snow.

It is a great product does the job well in snow less than 10" but the knob and clips continually fall off and I find this to be a big problem as they secure handles in place Otherwise a good buy for the monies and also the ease of use

Had this product for two seasons and this year after a 16 inch snowfall it jammed up and the blades wouldn't spin so I had to shovel by hand. Works fine for 2-3 inches, but anything more it will jam especially if it is wet or well packed snow. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

Snow Joe Did The Job

I bought the unit after the 14" New Jersey snow storm the Saturday before Christmas in Dec 2009. The next big storm came on Jan 6th when we got 16".
Snow Joe assembled easily. When put to the test the trick is to avoid overloading the unit in deep snow. It is rated for snow up to 11" deep. So with 16 inches I work horizontally by pushing along the side of higher banks until they fell and then I plowed them away.
I have a two car driveway that's about 20' long. The unit did the job well and saved my many hours of back breaking shoveling. I was very pleased. After five decades of snow shoveling, it's nice to have a friend.
I would suggest anyone who buys this machine order a couple of extra belts from the company. They are only $8 each and it's worth the piece of mind that you won't be caught with a dead machine in a blizzard if your belt wears out.

this was the second snow this winter. it was 12 inches of wet snow. it took awhile but i did get my 100 foot driveway done. earlier in January it handled 4 inches just fine. I think its fine for use if you don't get very many heavy snows. otherwise I would recommend getting a more powerful blower. to do 12 inches I had to go slow and not force it thru the snow. I did about half a row at a time. I did like that it was electric. easy start. considering my age this sure beats shoveling by hand. so far I"m very happy with this Blower.

I've now used the Snow Joe Ultra 13-Amp 19" Electric Snow Thrower twice. The first time was in about 8 inches of light fluffy snow. The snow joe quickly cleared my sidewalks and driveway. The only challenge was having to consider the effect of the wind blowing. I had to change my strategy. I used it again today in about 5 inches of a heavier wet snow and no wind. It worked beautifully and quickly. I highly recommend this product. It helps to have someone else to help keep the cord out of the way.

My back LOVES this snow thrower!

With older age come a few unexpected surprises - like an aching back after shoveling out a very large driveway...sigh. I finally broke down this year and bought this electric snow thrower...much like other folks, my idea of fun does not include messing with gas, oil or spark plugs while standing in the snow, so electric was the way to go for me! I woke up the other day to 8 to 12 inches of snow in the driveway (drifting snow in parts). Oh boy, my boys are off to college now and hubby is off on business trip....looks like a (almost) 50 year old woman with a bad back gets to do it alone..yikes!....dig out the BenGay...sigh. Happily I found out that this has a super easy start and the Snow Joe just chewed through even the deepest snow. I actually found myself looking for more snow to attack with the Snow Joe....this snow thrower made a miserable job almost fun! The Snow Joe easily threw the snow 10 to 20 feet and cleared the snow down to the pavement. The Snow Joe is light enough that I could easily carry it when done back through the snowy yard to the shed to put it away...and no BenGay was needed that night..yippee!! As others have said; - Make sure the nuts and blots are all tight when you receive your Snow Joe. - Use a good quality extension cord and loop it around the bottom of the handle so it can't accidentally come unplugged while you're working. - Stay off gravel and rocks. Plow only on pavement. - Snow Joe works well in deep snow, but don't force it - just be patient and let it work it's way through the drift at it's own pace...the motor sound will let you know if you're forcing it too hard.
The only reason Snow Joe did not get 5 stars is, the rear wheels are a little cheesy...plastic. I will be checking around for good quality rubber wheels to replace these with....but for what I paid for the Snow Joe, I can handle one tiny tweek.
All in all, I would recommend this snow thrower to anyone!

I returned the blower within a hour of picking it up. I did not use it for 2' in 4 " of snow and the top augar broke. The cheap plastic augar broke where the "turn handle" was bolted to the base of the thrower. That made it inoperable.

Review 14 for Snow Joe Ultra 13-Amp 19" Electric Snow Thrower
Handy Little Backsaver
,

By MaineWoods ,

5out of5
After watching a couple of neighbors use electric snowblowers I decided to give one a try - and I am glad I did. I injured my back years ago, and just the thought of a pull-chord gives me the shivers. But the little electric blower I bought is the solution to Maine's winters. I have used it three times since I purchased it. I have used it in light fluffy snow - a breeze!! And most recently I used it in 4 inches of heavy snow and then 8 inches of heavy snow. It worked like a charm. I even went through over a foot of the mess the city plow leaves across my driveway. The regular snow fall posed no problem; the mess from the plow was very deep and wide and slushy - but I just went at it slow and steady and I was more than pleased. A couple of neighbors lined up to see if I would get through it - and we were all impressed. My driveway accommodates six cars - two abreast. And my little blue blower has the whole thing clear!! The cord is no more annoying than when vacuuming the house or using and electric lawn mower - just keep track of it. Assembly only required a few bolts to attach the handle - simple. One thing I would advise is to check where your snow is landing. The fluffy stuff just blows and settles- but today, I shot the wet heavy stuff all over the neighbor's windows and didn't even notice, because I was looking at the driveway to see here I was going! It is VERY EASY to adjust the chute - I just wasn't looking!! oops...

Good value for the type of snow removal we have on Long Island. Good for 6 to 8 inches. This would not be a match for areas that get serious snow storms. Easy to use. You obviously have to watch the electric cord. We are happy with this snow blower......now all we need is some snow.

I'm a female in my early 40's, I purchased my snow thrower in Dec 2008 and only got to use it once, but I just used it again today in about 3-4 inches of light powdery snow. It started out working great until I hit a rock half way down the driveway and it blew a 2-3 inch hole in the bottom casing and put a 3-4 inch long crack in the chute deflector, it actually separated. I was pretty upset that the casing is so flemsy. I tried to close the hole with some eletrical tape, (couldn't think of anything else to use on short notice) but of course it didn't hold, but I had to keep going because I didn't want to get stuck trying to go to work tomorrow morning and didn't want the back pain I knew would have been in store. By the time I finished the driveway I looked like a walking snowman. I sent an email to the manufacturer to see how and if this can be repaired, if not, I guess I'll have to purchase another one. I really like this thrower, it's easy to use and helps prevent back pain and I can get the drive done in about 10 minutes verses the 1.5-2 hours by shovel, I have a very long driveway. The electrical cord is a little annoying, but I can get past that as long as it does the job I need it to do. You can't beat the price on this machine, I did a lot of research initally and did read about the reviews. I didn't experience any of the issues others seemed to have, but the rock is what threw me (literally).

Review 19 for Snow Joe Ultra 13-Amp 19" Electric Snow Thrower
Met Expectations

We received a lot of snow in the Chicago area today. Got 6+ inches in our area so we got to use our Snow Joe snow blower twice today. It met our expectations. My next door neighbor was using his gas powered 2 stage snow thrower at the same time we were using the Snow Joe and he completed his task in no time at all. I can't, and didn't, expect an electric snow blower to do the same job as a gas powered 2 stage blower. Although it took longer to complete (as other posters have stated, you should not force the Snow Joe into large amounts of snow but must move it slowly) clearing the snow off our driveway and sidewalk, it did an excellent job completing the task. It will throw snow about 8-10 feet with the chute facing forward and about 3-4 feet with the chute angled. Some suggestions: it is a much easier job if two people are engaged in the task. I was pushing the snow blower while my wife was "managing" the electric cord. I took the suggestion of one of the posters here and went "side to side" on my driveway with the Snow Joe instead of "up and down." There was no entanglement of the electric cord using his suggestion. Using this method I was able to shoot the snow forward without getting any snow on my neighbor's driveway. For its initial use, I am very satisfied with the performance of this product. My wife and I are 60 years old and using the Snow Joe sure beats using shovels.
