Good shovel for saving your back, works well. I thought it would be awkward, but it was quit effective. The only thing I wish it had was some flare on the sides of the shovel to control pushing the snow. However, it work great for shoveling the snow.

The only bad thing about it is the aluminum edge on the blade of the shovel, is not rivetted like most of the shovels out there. The aluminum edge fell off on the third use. I tink I will have to put rivets through myeself.

I have fibromyalgia and this shovel makes shoveling alot easier for me. My pain is minimal compared to using regular snow shovels which is a good thing for someone like me.

The SNOWJOE to the rescue . . . .

Ok, so this is a LIFE-SAVER !!!!! For anyone that has some age, this is wonderful. It is an absolutely back saver. My arms and shoulders were sore but my back was fine .... I'll take that everyday, all day! First of all, this is a well made shovel. It's solid and has a good blade. It lifts a lot more than it probably should. And then you add the "extra" handle and it's a game changer. We put it to use during this 2026 East Coast Storm and it really made a noticeable difference. I like this so much, I clean it and store it indoors because I want to make sure it last until next season. As far as 'gadgets' go, this is an absolutely KEEPER!!!
Many thanks.

Shovel is shorter and scoop is smaller than my other shovel...but with the added handle...the shovel doesn't have to be as big and heavy any more! the snow really does fly off the shovel - love it - and most importantly - my back loves it too!

The action of scooping up and heaving shovels full of snow can be backbreaking work. But with a Snow Joe, the addition of a second handle positioned such that you can put the strength of both arms to your advantage and thus reduce the strain on your back is an improvement that makes great sense. I will never go back to using ordinary snow shovels having used my Snow Joe with the wettest, heaviest snow from an early spring surprise dumping of 10 inches of the stuff. If you need to get extra tossing distance to clear your path there is no other way to go to get the job done quickly. I highly recommend the Snow Joe.

What a difference !! Bought this last week and was able to put it to work yesterday. Assembled with one bolt and very sturdy. Wow! I can fling snow 15 feet without breaking a sweat, or more importantly, my back ! I am a believer. Let the Shovelution begin!
Pros: Great Value, Easy To Use, Accurate Performance, Easy to store, Lightweight, Unique Features, Durable, Great Design, Easy to assemble, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!
