  • Problems right out of the box... read on, you may be interested in this.
10-1-15 Update: I was going through my reviews, and I noticed I failed to update a problem listed below with the battery cover. I said it would flop open when you pull the blower back too fast. Another person commented on my review and mentioned that it DOES latch down, but you have to PUSH fairly hard on the cover to get it to engage. I verified that, and it does work fine in that regard now (it 'clicks' when you get it right). With another Winter coming on, I wanted to get that update put into the body of my review. 12-28-14 Update: Just wanted to let interested parties know that we had a good, healthy 5+ inches of snow the day after Christmas, and I was able to clean 95% of my pretty large driveway. The blower performed VERY well, throwing the snow 15-20 feet easily. (the more snow, the further it throws it) Where I used up all the battery power was when I was removing the "gift" from the city snow plow, which left about 15" at the bottom of the driveway. I was able to clear over half of it, when the battery finally went dead. (Yes, it recharged just fine and is ready to go again, when needed) This was a lighter, less moisture content snowfall, in case anybody is wondering... the temperature at the time of running it was about 20-25 degrees.) Oh, and the battery was inserted at the beginning with a full charge. My driveway is about 65' long and about 28' wide. I hope the new information is useful. 12-9-14 Update: A couple of updates on the Snow Joe: First, the issue with the upper chute flip-flopping around when the snow comes up from the lower chute - I fixed that real easily. I went to my washer drawer where I keep about a dozen different sizes of washers, and I picked 4 that were about the diameter of a quarter, and slid them onto the screw where the knob screws down. This effectively shortens the screw and now I can tighten it properly. It was good timing because we had another 3" or so snowfall, and now the chute works without a hitch. Another problem came about (and this one was mentioned by other reviewers. The cover for the battery does NOT have a latch to KEEP it DOWN. It's so unbalanced that if you pull back on the snow blower, the cover flops open! Not good because the last thing you want is snow getting into the battery itself, as well as the electrical connections, which are facing UP, so once you pull the battery, you have a high chance of snow getting into the connections, if there is any inside the compartment. I resolved this by using some Velcro along with a dab of Gorilla Glue, cutting one female tab for the cover, and one female tab for the underside where the cover meets by the upper left hand side. Then with a 3" strip the male side of the Velcro, it's very easy to secure the cover down once you're ready to blow snow. (you could also drill a hole through the same area, and put a screw with a wing nut on it to do the same thing - but I was worried that vibration might make the wing nut vibrate off while I'm blowing snow, and on the next pass, I might run over it and create a dangerous flying piece of metal coming out of the chute - it's good to think ahead to such possibilities to avoid a possible disaster) Original Review here: This is one of the most interesting products I've reviewed. First off, the box was totally undamaged, so any problems I had were not a result of shipping. I took the blower out of the box, and one of the wheels fell off! Not good. Especially because the way the wheels are designed, they are very difficult to "open" to get access to fix the problem. This is a design flaw, followed by sloppy workmanship at the factory. The axle for the wheels is a straight shiny rod (shiny as to make it slippery as it will rub against the plastic components it is surrounded by). The rod has plain ends on it, and what is supposed to hold the wheels on is what is called a Pal Nut, some call it a Push Nut or a Cap Nut(depends on what store you're dealing with). Basically, it's one of those cap like devices you usually use a hammer to lightly tap on to the end of the bar, and it has flanged edges that grip the bar to keep it from coming off. Well, in this case, when the builder of this unit installed the Cap, they put it on crooked and it bent the flanges so that it made it worthless. This was compounded because the nut was cheaply made. I fixed the problem by measuring the diameter of the rod, and going to the hardware store and getting a replacement (which was MUCH better design than the original shipped with this product.) Anyway, I tapped that onto the bar, and viola, I have working wheels. The fix cost me 59 cents, by the way. That was problem #1. Problem #2 is when I went to use the snow blower for the first time. I was worried because one reviewer said that he tried it on 2" of snow, and it would only throw it about 6" to the side. And, when I fired it up where the snow was thinnest, I got the same result. However, when I got to where the snow was more abundant (perhaps 2 to 3"), then it throws the snow probably about 8'. Not great, but acceptable as I expected about as much. (my old wired Toro blower would throw it 20') But, the distance is NOT the problem (for me, anyway... not sure about what you want). The problem is the upper chute control, which is basically a long screw, a rubber gasket and a knob for tightening. You can see them in the picture of the blower. This is to set the angle of the top part of the chute so as to make it go further to the side. These knobs can only be tightened to a certain point. Unfortunately, the screws are TOO LONG with the result that when the blast of snow comes up the lower chute, hits the upper chute, it make the upper chute point straight up! This happens almost immediately, and there is absolutely NO WAY to tighten down this setting with the equipment provided. Right now, I am looking at three solutions: (1) try to find screws of the same exact diameter and thread setting but a quarter of inch shorter; (2) looking for more rubber washers to insert between the plastic of the lower chute and the upper chute; (3) if all else fails, DUCT TAPE IT!!! See, for the life of me, I do not understand why they even bothered to make this adjustable. Once it's in the right angle, I would bet it NEVER NEEDS TO BE MOVED AGAIN. Bottom line, they could have designed this blower better. First, they should have drilled holes in the steel axle and then used Cotter Pins to secure the wheels to the axle (probably with a steel washer between the Cotter Pin and the wheel). Or, they could have put threads on the ends of the rod and simply used a lock nut. I doubt either solution would have added more than 50 cents to the cost of making this product. Second, they needed a better design of the upper and lower chute. In my mind, they could have tested for the best angle and simply made the entire chute in one piece. There is absolutely no need for an adjustable one. Okay the good things about this product. It does work. I used it to clean off a 70'x18' driveway, and removed 2-3" of snow in about 20 minutes (only because I'm old and slow). The light works perfectly, but I will likely never use it. The turning button on near the handle bar for changing the direction of the chute works perfectly, quickly and smoothly. The battery charged with no issues (but I was a little worried about the instructions which said, "recharge in a well ventilated area with no flames"... that means there is some gases coming off of it and I don't like that I might be breathing in something unhealthy.) The battery is supposed to show it charge when you put it into the blower. I saw absolutely no lights, which I assume means it's fully charged, because when I took the battery out of the box and had not charged it yet, and I put it into the blower to see if everything was generally working, it showed that a recharge should be done soon. When you do charge the battery, a green light AND a red light came on. It's misleading in the booklet because it only talks about "one light, red while charging, green when charged". So the second green light is just to show you it is plugged in and working properly. The controls on the handle bar are reasonably well designed. That is, you have to press the safety button on the side of the unit BEFORE you pull back the activating bar to the bigger handle bar. So, every time you release the activating bar, you have to redo that sequence. There is talk in the instructions about a safety device by the battery. The idea is, you pull the device off (slides easily), THEN you put in the battery (which by the way, you do have to press HARD to get it to lock into place), then you slide the safety device back on, which supplies power to the rest of the blower. Not sure if that is really needed, but it seems to function as intended. Bottom line, I can generally recommend this product, as long as you're flexible, and don't mind doing some problem solving with some of the design flaws. And, as it does what I want it to do, I am not returning it. P.S. I did contact their customer support when I encountered the original problem. They got back to me within the 48 hours they promised on their web site, and as I expected, the indicated I could not be helped unless I registered the product. Needless to say, I wasn't about to register a product that I wasn't sure I wasn't going to have to return. So, in effect, they were not of much help... but hey, at least I got a response. That's better than way too many other vendors out there! ... show more

  • EDITED: DON'T BUY THIS
My original review is below. Here is the mid to end winter edit; The Snow Joe is terrific the battery and the charging system are not. Fully charged this little unit can tackle the biggest storms New England throws at you-- but, and this is a BIG but, the battery only system is a HUGE mistake. Back when I ordered this the Battery version and the Hybrid were the same price, it never occurred to me (because I'm dumb) that the hybrid meant it also came with a cord-- THAT's the one to go with even though its a pain in the neck to clear snow and watch out for a cord, your alternative is to work in 10 minute intervals and then sit back and wait for the unit to charge up again which takes 2-3 hours. Or, you could buy multiple batteries but that would mean you'd need multiple chargers too and at $100+ for an extra battery plus the cost of a charger you're now spending enough that you could buy a small gas snowblower that will work better than this one. Want more info, sure thing; Initially the battery charged up as it was supposed to, got me through the first big snowstorm-- heavy wet snow, and a lot of it. The thing was a workhorse and held out about 40 minutes before it died. Just enough time to get ALMOST everything done, and then I just shoveled the rest. The very next storm I charged the battery and noticed that the charging station didn't change from red and green to green and green (which indicates the battery has fully charged), when I took the battery off and pressed the button to test the charge level it only read ¾ charged. I put it back on the unit for another 90 mins with no change. When I used the snowblower it only lasted about 20 minutes before dying. I tried turning off the lamp, I tried stopping it when I was moving it backwards, I tried a variety of things. At the next storm it only charged to ¾ again so I reached out to customer service chat at Snow Joe and they were great- sending me a replacement battery right away. I plugged this one in and it charged all the way to green green and the unit lasted 40 mins at the next storm. All was right in the world. Then the next storm it only charged to ½ which for anyone mathematically challenged is worse than ¾ charge. Until didn't last even 10 mins. Customer service again, they decided it was the charger and said they'd send it right out-- only it never came. Another storm another ½ charge another chat and they have no record of either sending me the replacement battery or the replacement charging unit and they promise to send replacements again, I'll update when and if they do. So unless you can take 2-3 days to clear out your snow put the money towards a "real" snowblower. Original review; In New England we often get big snowstorms-- heavy wet snow. If you leave it for a few days it becomes even harder to shovel. I ordered this snow blower after the gas one I had agreed to buy on Craigslist fell through. I liked the idea of a cordless electric model-- in the past I've had a corded one and it's a pain. It arrived a few days after the snow which had been substantial, as you can see in the picture the snow was higher than the mouth of the snow blower. All right-- there's the setup now onto the blower-- it arrived and assembly couldn't have been easier-- took about five minutes and I hate putting things together. So FIVE Stars on that. I popped the battery into the charging unit so it'd be ready to go in the morning. The unit with the battery is pretty light-- about 25-30lbs-- I was able to lift it and move it around pretty easily. The tires are decent sized and better than just your average cheap plastic tires-- I'd say these are above average cheap plastic tires. Now the snow. IF you've used a gas powered Two Cycle snowblower this is nothing like that. It has no drive train so it moves forward based on how hard you push it-- it works best in deep heavy snow like this if you do it in layers. The remote control chute control is a nice touch so you can change the direction of the stuff blowing back at you as you go. How's it work? If a Two Stage Gas Snow Blower rates a 10 and a shovel rates a 1 this is a solid 5. It's a lot more powerful than the corded one I had and like an aggressive Yorkshire Terrier it wants to get in there and show you what it can do. Pushing it isn't easy-- while you save the pain on your back from shoveling you're still going to need a decent amount of strength to get it through serious snow. I'm a 200lb man and I outlasted the battery-- my wife is about half my size and she didn't. As I started trying to clear out an area I hadn't shoveled prior my neighbor came over with a big smile and asked if I wanted him to bring over his "real" snowblower-- I told him I was in no rush. Where we live neighbors are nice enough to do our front sidewalk and our 50 foot driveway. I'm hoping them seeing me with this toy won't make them think I don't need the help anymore. How about a simple good/bad... GOOD Nice to not have to deal with gas and oil. Starts with a simple push button. Light is a nice touch but I don't know how much of a drain it puts on the battery. Unit is lightweight. It moves snow-- if this was a lighter storm it would have taken care of it-- but if it was a lighter storm I would have probably just shoveled. Better on your back than a shovel. BAD The battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge and lasted (in albeit heavy snow) about 20 minutes-- far less than the advertised 40 minutes-- which in itself is not that great in the first place. Should I buy TWO extra batteries and chargers? That would add another $300 to the price bringing it to $500 (I paid $200 for the unit and one battery and charger) which puts it close to just buying a "real" snowblower. In summary-- if you've got a tiny property along the lines of a 15' x 2' walkway and you don't get a lot of heavy snow, this will be better than shoveling. If you have more than that you're going to need extra batteries unless you can take two days to clear out your area. It's a hard worker, it really wants to be great, and I want to give it five stars-- but it's low battery life really hurts its ability. Make sure if you order this you get the HYBRID which allows you to plug it in when your battery dies. I ordered this style but got the standard one and sadly cut the return box down before noticing. EDIT; Three storms in here in New England where we have 600 day snow season, the first storm as written above was heavy and wet-- and Bruce gave out halfway through it. I had to recharge and then was able to finish up but the recharge took almost three hours so if I was in a hurry that wouldn't be great. The other two storms were 8" of fluffy stuff-- this took care of everything in no time-- by two front walks, my sidewalk, my long driveway and my pretty large back deck. A++ and then 5" of really heavy icy stuff-- no problem here either-- it ripped through it like nobody's business. THEN the battery gave out and wouldn't recharge to full capacity-- a quick chat to snow joe (go to their website and click on SUPPORT) and they shipped me out a replacement immediately (make sure you register your snow blower). Giving this FIVE stars now. Great service. They stand behind their product, and if you don't expect a professional grade serious three stage snowblower this will probably work fine for you. ... show more
