Like many I was excited to get away from a gas powered snowblower I have one but I'd prefer to be environmentally friendly and use electric. The first substantial snow here in NJ in 2 years so I pulled the Snow Joe out of the shed, first use the rod that turns the discharge chute bent it turned out not to matter since it stalled every few feet. After starting/restarting multiple times I gave up and went back to my shovel.
This was easy to use and set up. It normally takes me an hour to shovel the driveway. With this I was able to clear it in about 10 minutes. If my driveway was at all any larger I would have been in trouble. The battery never would have made it as it died when I started on the Sidewalks. Not sure if this is normal or a battery issue.
If you need something heavy duty this isn't going to be a solution. If it is a 20 ft driveway this is a great option.
This machine is a beast. This is my second SNOW JOE cordless snowblower, and this thing really does a great job. I live on the corner of my street and I have to plow front side of my house and side of my house and this machine had no problems. I also have a two car garage driveway. I had to Plow as well. I just used this machine last week and it was a heavy slush and had no problems whatsoever. I recommend getting this machine. With the two batteries, I plowed my neighbors corner house and 3/4 of their driveway, which is a one car garage and my neighbors sidewalk in front of their house and I still had one bar left on the battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This snowblower was easy to assemble and the headlight is a nice feature. That is about where my positive opinion ends. With gas prices skyrocketing, I thought it would be nice to switch to a cordless rechargeable unit. I am underwhelmed by it's performance though compared to gas models I've used. The wheels are tiny and plastic, actually pretty much everything is plastic, and the overall quality is weak. I don't expect this to last long. If you have a small/even concrete area to clear, this may work, but if (like me) you have slightly rugged or uneven terrain you'll probably be disappointed. I like to clear a small area in my yard for the dog, and this thing really struggles moving snow from the frozen grass area. A small sidewalk would be appropriate for this machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to be completely honest, I wasn't expecting too much from the Snow Joe 22" 1600W Snow blower. About 2 days after I picked this up, we got about 12" of snow. Personally, I prefer to keep things clear throughout the storm, so I did two passes, with about 6" of snow on the ground each time. While it was a lighter snow (by Boston's standards), this thing powered right through. It gets close to the ground, so there wasn't any shoveling required afterward.
The batteries charged in just over an hour and I was able to use the machine for 35+ minutes without further charging.
The only potential drawback is that it is not self propelled. Personally, I view it as a positive as outdoor exercise can be tough to come by in the winter time. However, this could be an issue with heavy/wet snow in the early/late winter. I'd definitely think twice if the operator is small/elderly.
Overall, I highly recommend this Snow Joe 22" 1600W snow blower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this is a great alternative to a gas powered snow blower. It was easy to set up. The battery lifetime is efficient and easy to charge the two batteries. It snow blows down to the pavement. It is like a clean sweep. The crank for the chute was a bit difficult at times to crank. It works wonders with slush like what one gets at the bottom of their driveway. The one time we did get heavy wet snow it did clog a few times but was easily able to unclog. Overall this is a great alternative to a gas powered snow blow. This is definitely worth the investment!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly a really nice snowblower! Works good clearing a path . I was real impressed at how good this snowblower worked !And it didn’t take long to recharge the battery’s ! It’s pretty light wait and easy to push .
