Main negative is how it throws the snow

I like the shovel. It really helps my back out not having to lift up shovels full of snow to throw. But the biggest downfall of this shovel is the angel it throws the snow is way too high. It would be nice to have the option to have a moveable guard that if rotated down it would throw the snow more straight forward than straight up. If there is a little wind the snow goes right into your face and over the area that you already shoveled which is frustrating. So I decide on if I use it or not, based on the wind.

I was excited to use this Snow Shovel, even though many reviews mentioned how it threw the snow back at you. Although the Snow Shovel seems sturdy and clears snow to the pavement, it throws the snow straight up into the air, covering where you just cleared a path. I even tried using it with the wind at my back, thinking the wind would throw the snow forward, Didn't happen. The snow gets thrown straight in the air and comes back in your face and the path you just cleared. The shovel needs to have some kind of diverter on it, so the snow can be directed, up, down and sideways. Even a slight angle would help. I feel it is a waste of money, unless you enjoy getting covered with snow and sopping wet.

we got dumped on this past winter storm and this worked great on my deck and steps and to clear out around my car. it's not a snowblower, but does work well for smaller areas. it ran for about a full 30 minutes of non-stop use, which was enough time out in the cold for me and it still had charge left on the battery. Very pleased with my purchase and other sunjoe product purchases. (i also have their power washer and pole saw).
THIS IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK I EVER PURCHASE. I HAVE USED IT TWICE NOW AND THE BATTERY ONLY LAST ABOUT 15 MINUTE AND WAS DOWN TO ONE LIGHTED BAR. TOTALLY SORRY I PURCHASE IT AND WILL NEVER USE IT AGAIN. WILL MAYBE GET SOMETHING FOR IT AT A YARD SELL THIS SUMMER.

I should have read other reviews or watched videos before i bought this product. The angle you hold it at determines the direction the snow comes out ! Any angle less than 45 degrees and you will be covered with snow, especially if there is any wind !

There was too much wire in the handle to assemble per the instructions. I had to take the handle off of the base unit and assemble it before reattaching it to the base unit. The wiring will fit in the base but not the handle.
This shovel is lighter than a regular snow blower which I really appreciate. It would be nice if you could direct the snow, but where I am using it, I can throw the snow in any direction and just make sure the wind is behind me and I don't get buried in snow. If you were limited that would be a pain, when the wind shifts that face full of snow isn't fun. I have 2 batteries but so far, I give out before the battery does. It is heavier than I thought it would be so it can be a problem in deeper snow since you have to hold it up and take a swipe or 2 before you can slide it along the ground and that can get tiring. For me there has been a learning process to figure out the best way to use it. But overall, I'm pretty pleased with it.
This product is powerful and is holding up to the daily snow removal here in North Idaho. I have moved 10" of fresh snow and it has done well on wet snow, would not push my luck on the heavy stuff. Really is easy and much lighter than a shovel of snow! Bought it to use on the sidewalks and drive way. Works good, small to store, I keep my battery indoors until use. so far have not run out of juice on any work load. I have the 5.0 Ah. Would recommend women to use. I love it.
