Customer Reviews for Snow Joe - Shovelution Snow Shovel w/ 18" Shovel Blade and Handle, SJ-SHLV01 - Red

See Title.....however, the “primary” shaft is a bit too short.
I am just over 5’ 10”.
Also the “primary” shaft could/should swivel via the lower
handle grip, and that lower grip could/should be “adjustable”, up or down to accommodate user physical
uniqueness.

Good Shovel ..however

I purchased this shovel last year. Great for the back. It did take some getting used to. The only issue is that the first time I tried to use it this year (actually earlier today) the metal blade fell off. Its somewhere in the snow. Luckily it will be 50 degrees tomorrow. Hopefully I will find the blade before it gets stepped on. The blade obviously needs to be attached better

Bought my first Snowjoe Shovelution last year and loved it. The mechanics of it really make shoveling easier, even the heavy snow at the end of the driveway.
If I had any complaints my first shovel did not have a metal strip on working edge. And that edge has not held up very well. I was glad to see the metal edge on our new shovel.

The shovel arrived in a relatively small box that was incredibly light. I opened the box and it was modular and as stated light weight. The plastic in the shovel is more pliable than I had expected. I suspect that is part of the design so you do not get to over aggressive with it. The shovel works like a charm when it comes to light snow but is not for the crusty frozen stuff. The 2 handle design is fantastic, and saves your back once you get the knack of it. I would purchase it again even with knowing its limitations.

Good news; bad news
on January 2, 2026

We live in NW PA and have had over two feet of snow this week alone (and it's still coming down). In short, I use my 18" SJ shovel - A LOT! On the plus side, it has held-up well and does reduce strain by providing various shoveling options/angles. I like it A LOT! The bad news? Today, the spring assist handle rusted through and broke off. The date on the label says 2016. So, yes...it's "old" and has had a good run. Still, it seems like a design flaw to construct such an essential part out of metal for use shoveling what is basically frozen water. Having to replace the whole shovel because there is no replacement part seems "unfair."
