This thing is surprisingly good after using in a 6 inch snow. Did 2 driveways very quicky. The only downside is having a cord but that's not the products fault, just a pain but easier than dealing with heavy gas motor for not alot of snow every year.
I had a SnowJoe that is the exact twin of this unit. It got me through 6 winters of heavy use before finally giving up. I was definitely impressed. This seems to be its replacement now and I look forward to having it with me for years to come!
I am getting tired of shoveling snow. I thought about getting a gas powered machine, but the cost was prohibitively steep. I had doubts about a battery powered snowblower but wasn’t necessarily scared of them. I just did not like the idea that I’d have to recharge the battery every 30 minutes and then have to wait an hour to recharge the battery. So I went with the corded version. Impressions? More powerful than expected. Lightweight and maneuverable. Spoiler alert, you’ll still need a shovel. But this little guy will throw most of the snow - and that’s what I wanted. In light to medium snow, I believe this machine will be a gem. I just need to remember that it’s light duty. Haven’t used it in wet snow yet, but so far, so good!
