Bought this when I knew we were going to get snow in NJ. I had a gas-powered Toro thrower for years, and it was always in need of cleaning, and it was never a guarantee that it would start. This year, it just wouldn't, so I decided to invest in a battery-powered unit. Ordered on Wednesday, and received it on Friday, set it up (took <10 minutes) and charged the batteries overnight. (After reading the reviews about the battery life, I invested in two more 6.0Ah batts that I could swap out on the fly) Woke up to find about 5" of snow on the ground and at 6:45am, went out to give the SnowJoe a try. First off, the unit started right up, which was a breath of fresh air. Also, it's VERY quiet. Since I started doing this <7am, I wanted to make sure I wasn't waking the neighbors on a Saturday morning. Most importantly, it was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. It cleaered the snow without a problem. Most of the snow was light and fluffy, so the unit did the job easily. There were a couple of times that the ejection tube got clogged with wetter snow, but the little shovel attached to the unit was right there to clean it out. The 4.0Ah batts did last about 30 minutes (about 80% of my total work done), so I swapped them with the other set and finished it off. I love this machine...it's light, it's quiet, it's powerful, and the batts last how long you'd expect. Note that I didn't fully use the 6.0Ah batts, so I don't know their lifespan. Very much recommend this product!

Decent snow blower for smaller driveways. It's not very good for heavier snow, but it does throw it a little. Battery life is decent, about 30 minutes of straight use. The blades don't get fully down to the pavement, especially with wettier snow. Overall it does a decent job if you get it at the right price.

I read reviews before buying this. I already own the snowjoe shovel. It work’s fantastic! Throws snow 15 feet, literally. This one takes the same batteries, works just as good. They’re for the lighter snow but let’s face it, who likes to shovel? I have a huge gas powered snowblower for the big stuff, this is perfect for quick clean ups.

My friend has the snow Joe shovel and he brought it iver the other day and used it on my sidewalk. So I asked hi where he got it and he said Best Buy. I went on the best buy site immediately and started looking around. I have a big patio behind the house where I park my truck and its easier to get in the house. I bought the bigger push version instead if the shovel version. It came today while we were getting a snow storm. So I opened it up put the batteries on charge and continued to put it together. It was so easy to put together and within the hour after the batteries were charged I was outside using it. I love it! Best snow blower I have ever purchased. No gas, No ext cord. Plug the batteries in and go.

Pleasantly surprised at how well this Snow Blower worked. First time - had 8 inches of wet snow and it went right through it. Very Light and easy to maneuver. Did my driveway and walk in 1 charge.
