Wow, I m surprised I have not seen anyone in my area with this. All I see are gas powered snow blowers and manual shoveling. For the price and low maintenance, I can bear the cord inconvenience. Looks like I'll be getting one of these. Thanks for sharing.
It is perfect for N Idaho drier softer snow. Just got it, put it together, love it. Did a price match at Walmart and for $119 it is better than a sore back/arms and shoulders. I love it! And it is fast!
Im glad I watched this video. I was thinking about getting the greenworks cordless 40v 20" snow blower but decided against it once I saw videos where it looked like it was struggling to remove snow and also didn't throw snow 20 feet like it advertised. The snow joe looks like the better deal by far.
I watched your videos a few months ago, and they helped me decide to get one. I just used it for the third time - I don't seem to be clearing down to the pavement. Not sure why, but maybe that will improve with practice. Otherwise it does well. Your videos have been helpful - thank you.
Im glad i could help. i don't know if your doing this but when i use it i lift up the back until i can see the snow getting removed all the way to the pavement like at the beginning of the video you can see me lifting it up a little.
does your handle move on you? I know it folds down, but wondering if I did something wrong. my thumb is in a brace, so maybe I'm not strong enough to tighten it all the way lol. thanks!
I just used my Snow Joe today. However I struggled trying to clear the snow so that the driveway would be visible. I had to tilt the thrower forward to scrape the driveway and make multiple passes. Is there a more efficient way to do this? Thanks.
I reveived one as a gift a few years ago. What they don't tell you is those cheap plastic wheels never turn again once they touch snow. So your pushing this thing the entire way through the snow. The machine only throws snow that well for the first few weeks. After that the tiny little belt inside gets stretched out, And it only throws at half strength after that. And god forbid you try to buy a replacement belt, Their always listed as out of stock, Or cost anywhere up to fifty bucks apiece on amazon. And by the end of the second year of using this thing, The belt is completely shot, You can't replace it without spending a fortune. The screws in the body are completely rusted out, And the machine is literally falling apart at the seams. So if you want to waste 150 bucks, And get a real good work out. Go ahead and buy one.
own the 15 amp snow Joe, works great, if your thinking Snow Thrower in terms as like in Gas type, ant happening, two different animals. a little more work or a lot until you get the first pass, depends the depth. after that your good to go,For what it is been design to do it works great. don't buy one if your typical show depth is greater then the specs / dimension these blows are. Go gas, other wise Mine does a great job for what it is. First season use this year. The other matter, the HD cord for 100 feet are pricey, The up side this thing doesn't take up a lot of space. & it weighs nothing. The other matter if you cook the electric motor, that runs some where at 90 dollars so that's an other 100 bucks. good power supply is key HD cord stay with in specs & it works great. & it will chew it's way through the heavy load the city plows push up in the front of drive as long as it is with in reason of the spec's.
@@truantray more torque? How much different is this compared to a regular snow blower? Purchased one for my elder, also purchased a nice cord reel to hang on wall for easy cord storage.
my drive way is 150 feet and i got 1 100 foot and 1 50 foot 12 gauge extenuation the lower the gauge the more amps can go thew and the snowjoe can get maximum power. but id measure your drive way then side walks and add both measurements up and get what you need. what i found to be helpful when i lived in the city and i had side walks on each corner of my drive way i put thick wood stakes so it can guide the extenuation cord and it won't get caught in the snow banks.
***** Thanks for the information! My driveway is 50 feet and an extra 50 I think would do it for the side walks. I got 2 50 ft 14 gauge 15 amp rated outdoor cord which should be able to get maximum power out of the snow joe. I did read for the minimum requirements said 14 gauge for 50 and 12 for 100ft. So hopefully the 15 amp cords should be plenty.
yeah there snow shovel is pretty good. iv used one once and i liked it. id get one but i wold have no reason to use it. there good for decks side walks and nocking down snow drift on the end of a drive way.
