Snow Blowers

Description: The Snow Joe SJ624E Electric Snow Thrower 21-Inch clears 21 inches wide and 11.8 inches deep snow in conditions where the snow is light and fluffy. Heavy wet snow presents a challenge for this snow blower(see review summary). It comes with a 14 amp motor. It must be plugged in to an electrical outlet at all times.  The benefit of this snow blower is that it does not require gasoline, oil or tune-ups. The chute can be rotated 180 degrees. This is a single stage snow blower. The auger is made of steel with rubber blades to scrape and clear the snow. The snow blower weighs 34 pounds and can be hung on the wall while being stored provided that you have suitable supports to handle the weight.

Customer Review Summary

The Snow Joe SJ624E Electric Snow Thrower 21-Inch had 47 reviews at the time of preparing this review with an average rating of 4.1.  Customer complaints ranged from poor quality, assembly and sturdiness to the usual unmet expectations for snow clearing. Consumers found that in heavy snow conditions i,e, wet snow, icy snow or drifted snow, this snow blower was just not powerful enough.

Consumers should really evaluate the type of snow clearing they need to do each year. If you get a lot of snow or snow that is heavy and wet, this thrower may not be able to do the job.

Description: This is a lightweight snow blower excellent for clearing snow from sidewalks, decks, and driveways where there is a light snow covering. It is quiet, does not need gas or oil, and does not need an electric chord. There are no pull chords, tune-ups, or carbon emissions to worry about. It will clear a path up to 18 inches wide and 8 inches high (see review section for the Snow Joe iON18SB Ion Cordless Single Stage Snow Blower). The manufacturer claims that this snow blower will throw snow up to 20 feet. The directional chute will rotate 180 degrees.

Customer Review Summary

The Snow Joe iON18SB Ion Cordless Single Stage Snow Blower has a total of 395 reviews at the time of preparing this post with an average rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars. There are two significant complaints about this machine.

First, for some consumers, the battery just did not last long enough to finish the snow clearing job which can be very frustrating. Secondly, this is a machine that is really meant for light snow conditions. Light fluffy snow is really not a problem. Anytime you have heavier wet snow or icy particles, this machine did not or could not do the job.

Before purchasing the Snow Joe iON18SB Ion Cordless Single Stage Snow Blower, give some thought to the type of snow conditions you experience. If there is a lot of snow, if it is wet snow, you may want to consider another model.
