When the first snow came this season, I took the SnowJoe out and went to work on two inches of fresh snow on my driveway. Considering the SnowJoe's light weight and simplicity, those things seem pretty minor to me. My only criticisms are (1) it only throws straight ahead, so it builds a bow wave that can get in the way of progress, and (2) its effectiveness is strongly dependent on the handle angle during operation. I bought the SnowJoe at the end of last season so I could put my herky gas-powered blower into storage early. The SnowJoe's performance astonished me. Since we rarely get more than four inches of snow at a time, I may leave my gas blower in storage all season. It made short work of my driveway and the sidewalk in front of my house, and it did the job again the next day on four more inches of snow.
We bought them as gifts for grandparents and friends. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I love this thing. It has great power and sturdiness without being to heavy or hard to manuver for women/elderly/teens. Everyone loves it, and it's sooo affordable. Makes quick work of a snowy driveway, walkway, or yard.
This product is fairly good to use just after the snow is over and is about 2-3 inches accumulation.
It keeps neatly in my front closet, and easily cleans off after use with no messy gas to worry about. After buying the larger Snow Joe for my driveway, I thought this would be a useful second tool for my porch and deck--and IT SURE WAS. Surprising for its size, but this compact number can really shoot the snow far out in front of it. Simply TERRIFIC. I have also used it to clear a quick path in front of my house when I'm pressed for time.
Was a gift for my mom. Even my mom could put it together and use it with ease.
