It's mostly a toy. It works for light small jobs on steps and walkways. However, more than 3" snow it is more work to use than it saves using a shovel. The unit is fairly heavy so requires good arm strength to move it forward into deeper snow. Have to take small bites to keep it from clogging down. Wish I could return it, but I didn't keep the box. Would not buy for Minnesota winters of any use. I was only planning to use it on a narrow strip along the side of garage next to neighbor's fence which made snow removal difficult, but this tool is not sufficient.

I purchased this product in November 2021, just in time for the snow season in Pennsylvania. The battery failed. I reached out about a replacement and the company did not have one - this I understood due to supply chain issues. HOWEVER, batteries now appear to be in stock and the company has failed to reach out and solve the battery failure issue. Now I have a very expensive plastic item of no value ~ unfortunately I should have done business with the large chain.

It works, but only in a light snow. and you will get covered in snow if any wind since it just throws it straight in front of you, not to the side. You have to turn it at an angle, stand to the upwind side of it, and hope the wind does not swirl on you. And you may only able to shovel in one direction and walk if a direct headwind. All this adds to the work. In summary, I can do it just as fast (faster if just 1-3" of snow), about the same amount of work, and stay dry with a good hand shovel.

SnowJoe was delivered on Tuesday, forecast called for snow Wednesday night so I unboxed quickly and charged the battery and used it 1st time on Thursday am for about 2" snow. Worked great! For small amounts of snow we don't have someone plow so I wanted something to make it easier on the back. I was able to do our deck, walk, drive and drive to our barn without having to recharge the battery. Our drive is packed gravel and no issue to use this. Much easier on the back than a shovel and much quicker. Only negative is the same issue others have mentioned, the snow will come back at you with the slightest wind, so dress accordingly because you will be covered with snow. Overall very happy with this product.

In two days it will be 3 months since I have had this shovel and I have not been able to use it even once. I wish I had returned it immediately when it did not work, rather than try to get it fixed. If they had replaced the entire unit including battery and charger, I would not be writing this. Instead, one piece at a time was replaced without success and now I am waiting for a battery which shows no sign of arriving anytime soon. I have never before had to endure a defective product and ridiculously slow support like this.
