Snow blowers

Comment:

This is my third snow season with sno-joe. It replaced a 30 year old single-stage gas John Deere. The Joe works as well with much less maintenance and I don't smell like gas and oil when I'm done. It does not snow much here, but this thing works just fine with the occasional 3 or 4 inch snowfall we get, even the wet/soggy stuff.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

I purchased this or a very, very similar Snow Joe model two years ago. It worked great through two large and heavy snowfalls. However, during the third snow storm, as the wind blew the snow back over me and the snowblower while doing the driveway, (melting) snow entered the area where the electric plug attaches to the snow blower. Water and electricity do not mix. The unit began smoking and a small fire developed near the plug area (this area on the snow blower handle was often covered with snow that blew back in windy conditions). Up until that time, it had been functioning wonderfully and was a great labor saving device. My advice is to purchase with caution. (Please note: If it were not for the smoke and fire, I would have given this unit 3 stars.)

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The plastic housing broke-large hole in it so the snow when back at me. Used on paved driveway- Snowjoe says this is a random act like a rock hitting your windshield. No help at all. Before this the pulley, also plastic, broke. Snowjoe refuses to help
