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

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.
