Snow Joe 15-Amp Corded Electric Snow Blower, 21" Clearing Path w/ LED Light, Steel Auger, 180° Adjustable Chute, Up to 800 lbs/min – Perfect for Mid-Sized Driveways & Walkways, SJ625E

Had never owned an electric snow blower before, but when I moved back to WI from AZ, I knew I didn't want a gas model that freezes up and is hard to start in winter here. Had an early freeze and heavy snow and this little machine did an amazing job of taking care of business in my 2 1/2 wide driveway on an incline. While I do have to mind where the cord is, it wasn't that big of a deal, going in straight lines and directing the flow of the blown snow. I also love the light weight of this machine. Had to bring it indoors to re-adjust the 'knobs' for the spout, but that was easy to do, and this 69 year old guy is very happy with the purchase! (Sorry for the delay, after buying this summer, but can't review without snow!). Good buy! UPDATE! I've had the snow blower for 4 years now (bought the Fall of 2019) and it has saved me a lot of effort in removing snow from my large driveway. It has never let me down -- knowing, of course, that wet snow does limit its' abilities but 90+% of the time it gets the job done with minimal effort. Here in Wisconsin, the cold also limits the amount of time spent outdoors blowing snow, so I've learned to be efficient with how I use this machine. I can even 'attack' snow heights above the machine, as long as you move slowly and work it towards the side of the driveway (helps, of course, to blow away from the wind if possible). I usually cut a pathway up the center of my driveway, then work it right and left from the street to my garage (assuming the wind isn't a hindrance for one direction), one side at a time. Love this machine! Update -- I bought this snow blower in 2019, so it has gone through 4 Wisconsin Winters. Wet snow is always a problem, especially if there is a lot of it -- but most snows in my state are usually more dry, and this machine takes care of it in no time. As you can see by the picture, my driveway is about 2 1/2 cars wide -- so a lot of space to clear. I rely on it for about 85-90% of the snows we get (and have to shovel the really wet stuff, but even the gas models of my past had issues with wet snow). But the biggest difference is that it is electric, so it ALWAYS starts for me! This last Winter was the worst I've had in this house but even at age 72, I clear the snow in no time, and when it's wet, I just get a little more of a 'workout'. But, again, this is the best snow blower in my lifetime, and it clears snow quickly and easily! Very happy with the purchase!

Bought back in January after a huge storm. Read a TON of reviews and watched a bunch of videos of it in action. Finally had a chance to use it and see what it's capable of. Currently sitting here in the middle of a blizzard, and we just cleared about 10 inches without issue, some spots up to a foot (you can see in the attached photo it was almost as deep as the entire unit, which is 13.5 inches). Though I can see running into some issues with heavier/wetter snow (but still WAY better than a shovel.) OF COURSE this is not a replacement for a 3-stage gas blower. This is not a $1,000 unit. For the price, it was FANTASTIC. My fiance hates shoveling and gets incredibly cranky, snappy, and just generally not great company whenever he has to shovel. I can't even count how many times he thanked me and praised this unit. It was actually laughable. In fact, he named it "Ernesto" after a guy he works with because, in his words, "he's a tiny, quiet, super hard-working powerhouse", and this definitely lived up to his name. =) Initially bought because he has sciatica and I just couldn't bear worrying about him shoveling our New England snow, and I'm near useless with a shovel (I have lupus and fibromyalgia). Really needed something with some power in this house. Even I can work this unit, and that's a HUGE plus. We cleared the walkways and driveway and he's still in a good mood and good health -- to me that's well worth the incredibly small investment ;) Notes: -Cord management was a lot easier than we thought it would be -Assembly took less than 10 minutes -Good throw for a small unit (easily 10+ feet) -Quiet, sounds just like a vacuum -Requires little to no maintenance, unlike a gas blower, and that was HUGE for us (our mowers are always breaking down) -Can break down again easily for compact storage (my friend's massive 3-stage has it's own parking spot in the garage) -Be sure to get an outdoor cord that can handle the electrical load and is long enough for your needs. I can see issues if the unit is not properly powered. We grabbed the 100 ft Southwire 02589SW Outdoor Extension Cord- 12/3 American Made SJTW Heavy Duty 3 Prong Extension Cord- Great for Commercial Use, Gardening, and Major Appliances ( 100 Foot- Yellow) . Works perfectly. Cold weather cord would be even better I imagine, but I just couldn't afford one this time. -May run into issues with heavier/wetter snow and huge drifts (like the end of the driveway where the plows come through), but you can work through it. -I've seen this unit get down to the pavement in some videos, our pavement isn't very smooth and has breaks in spots so he snowblowed with a slight tilt up/back with the unit. YMMV. -Might be a good unit for someone who's petite, or maybe fragile or ill in some fashion. I had no issues with this, but my friend's self-propelled 3-stage was STILL exhausting to use (you would think the opposite, right?!) -Took about 30 minutes to clear a 100 foot driveway and walkway of the same length. Tip: If you do this in spurts through the storm, it makes the job a lot easier and this will be your new best friend. Just cleared 8-10, will be doing it once more to clear the remaining 5 or so.

My husband always used our big manly gasoline-powered snowblower to clear our long, double-wide driveway. Alas, he is no longer here to do that and getting a snowplow truck in this driveway is not a good option. Now, I am actually a little afraid of that gasoline-powered snowblower, never having done it before, not liking the gasoline part, and not being able to maneuver it due to its weight. All my guy friends told me it would be no problem to learn, but I am just not into it. So when I read about the electric Snow Joe, I was rather excited. Reading the other reviews convinced me that I would be able to do this. All my guy friends sneered and jeered, "That thing is a toy! What are you going to do with that!" "Electric?? You'll run over the cord." Ha,ha! I have had the last laugh. We got the first real snowfall of the year with about 8" of sudden wet snow. With mild trepidation, having been slightly scared by all the Tim Taylors around me, I ventured out to use it for the first time. Well, it was sort of like vacuuming a carpet, but different. After I read the instructions (yes, girls DO read the instruction book, a major advantage) I pushed the safety button, held down the handle and off I went. Honestly, this had to be the biggest test I could have given it. The snow was really heavy and so I had to "chew" at it in layers. It worked great! My biggest challenge is that I did not get a long enough power cord to begin with, but I improvised and made it down the 100' driveway much faster than I thought. After I get an additional length, all will be good in the kingdom. Nothing was difficult for my Snow Joe and it took the snow down to pavement. My husband's big old two stage never did that well. I like that it is light-weight and is not hard at all to navigate. And as far as running over the cord? That was never even close to being a problem. I got an cold weather extension cord that remained pliable in the frigid temperatures and I never had to fight with it. My friends had me convinced that I had made a mistake in purchasing this before I tried it. This has taught me that people don't know what they don't know. Trusting the reviews on Amazon helps me to make good decisions. This was one of them.

I’ve used this snow blower several times now, and honestly, for the price, it delivers. I live in the North Country where we get a lot of snow, and this thing has handled everything I’ve thrown at it. It clears my driveway in one pass, even with 6–7 inches of snow, without bogging down. It even manages the tougher stuff by the road—salt, packed snow, dirt—still works just fine. I’ve also used it out in the yard, and it can go over grass without a problem. Some spots had snow close to a foot and a half deep, and it still pushed through. The only downside is the handles. They’re on the weaker side, so if you try to shove it like you’re moving a car, you’ll probably bend something. But if you use it normally and don’t force it, it holds up and gets the job done. Overall, I’m impressed. For a smaller, budget-friendly blower, this thing really pulls its weight. If you just need something dependable to keep your driveway clear, this is a great option.

Today was my new blower's maiden voyage. We got about 6 inches of snow. A bit wet/heavy, not the worst I've ever seen and not the best, either. Living in Erie, PA, we routinely get 1-2 feet at a time, so this was a good test run. The auger itself works perfectly. The chute leaves a bit to be desired... the snow clogged it every now and then, meaning I had to stop, turn it off and unplug it (safety first!) just to unclog the chute. Not a dealbreaker, just a minor inconvenience. Now, what IS a dealbreaker... I'm motoring through the snow on my concrete driveway. It's not uneven, cracked, broken, anything. Fresh snow, not compacted, not anything. I'm backing off if the blower seems a little overwhelmed, going slow, and overlapping my paths to prevent overloading it. My point is, I was not abusing this thing in the slightest. Very, very average use. Only to find out that the middle of the handle is PLASTIC. And not even thick plastic, it's maybe 1/4 inch thick. I found this out because the handle SNAPPED OFF of the blower mid pass. I wasn't forcing it. I don't know if I perhaps put the slightest wrong angle of leverage on it to stress the plastic in some way. But my point is, WHY IS THE MIDDLE OF THE HANDLE PLASTIC? It makes no sense to have the handle be made 90% of metal (two separate bars) and then joined together by plastic, because well you know the old phrase that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. I now have a fantastic hunk of garbage, because I'd have to be 3 feet tall to comfortably push it around at this point. I am SORELY disappointed and won't be buying this brand again. For spending north of $200, I'd expect it to be a bit more resilient and not have a key part be made of plastic. Unfortunately for me, my return window has passed. Not that I would want to deal with boxing this beast up and returning it, anyways. So overall, the machine gets 4.5 out of 5 starts on how well it worked and handled the snow when it was functional. If I could give negative stars for durability and design, I would. I'd advise anyone looking at this model to choose a different brand that is built better. Do better, Snow Joe.

I have a 2 stage honda gas blower at home, but I use it rarely because it's smelly and heavy. I wanted a lighter weight blower I would use and of course electric is a plus for the planet. Today was first use. - 7 inches of semi wet Minnesota snow. It handled it well. Works like a typical single stage where it doesn't throw the snow all that far, and sort of propels itself by scraping the ground when the snow is lighter. Power: Adequate - for the most part was using the whole width and it was keeping up. When the snow is particularly packed it slows down and you have to push it more. Noise: Sounds like a shop vac. I thought it would be quieter. The constant pitch change when not under load to under load was a bit annoying, but quieter than gas. Gas one had a more consistent sound though, so may still wake the neighbors. Corded vs Cordless: Cord was a minor annoyance and not a show stopper. I already had a 100 foot cord and that gets to where I need it to. I built a little reel for the wall so winding it up is a cinch. You just need to plan your route so you aren't constantly running it over. Weight/ergonomics: it's light, and the handle is low. I am tall and would have preferred it to be higher. The crank to turn the blow direction was super low to the ground, which was a little annoying, but not a show stopper either for this price. Verdict: Seems like a keeper. I'm not getting rid of the gas one for huge snowfalls, but this is a good in between tool. UPDATE: Had some really wet snow, and noticed it clogs up at the chute due to a poor design. If the snow is light and fluffy, it works great. But if it's heavy and wet, the chute sort of concentrates it, and because it's shaped like a cone - narrower at the exit - it just creates a big plug that you have to stop and pound out. For the heavy and wet snows - you really need a two stage to chop it up first. This thing just isn't built for that. It's still useful - just not a replacement for the big hog.

First, let me say I will get some use out of this item. However, it is clear that no electric snow blower can compare to the power of any gasoline model. On the other hand almost all gas snow blowers require ongoing maintenance and will give problems with starting and are ultra heavy. Most electric blowers are only single stage and not self propelled. There are some 2 stage electric blowers but the prices are astronomically high. The Snow Joe brand is inexpensive and you get what you pay for. The folding handle joints are poorly made. Avoid straining those joints or you will need to rig repairs. I am hoping to get 2 or 3 seasons before the motor gives out. I can lift this unit from deck to ground level easier than any gas model. This is corded and it was not difficult to keep the cord out of the way. It clogs more frequently but is easy to clear. When compared to the cordless snow blowers it keeps going instead of an absurd 20 to 30 minutes run time most cordless models have which makes them of little use. Do you really want to try to rush and fall trying to clear your snow before your blower runs out of power? Overall most all the electric blowers seem poorly made. Snow Joe is at the low end, however since the cost was low it can be of benefit. Just throw it away when the motor gives out. If it lasts 2 or 3 seasons you will have gotten your money’s worth! No keeping smelly gas cans around either. It doesn’t handle wet snow very well, best for powder. If you pull it back and manipulate it it smaller bites you can clear some soggy snow. It will not throw wet snow very far depending on the angle of the chute. Maybe 3 to 5 feet. Powder farther but nowhere near 20 feet so far. That for me is not a problem. Actually a benefit because I use it in close quarters. I may buy a cordless model if I can get an off brand on sale. The major brands sold at home improvement stores are way overpriced. All in all I feel electric snow blowers are about 40 percent as effective as gasoline models. The technology just isn’t there yet. But, my brand new gas model was only used 3 times in one season before breaking down and the maintenance and repairs are as much hassle & work as just shoveling the snow by hand! So, there you have it, the pros & the cons of everything. I plan on buying an atv with a blade. This electric blower did clear a 9 to 11 inch berm nicely but I got to it before the chunks had frozen. Simply put it has its merits and as long as you lower your expectations it can be a useful tool up to a point. There are some storms where I live where a skip loader is the real answer, but spending $10k or more for a used bobcat is not on the agenda right now!

For the money, this snow thrower is worth it. Best for paved surfaces, like any snow blower, but can make it work on packed gravel which is where I use mine. First used it on a light snow of about 3 inches, it moved it decently but I felt it should throw it further. Second snow was 7 inches, and it performed amazing. In a some spots it was closer to 9 inches and I could tell it was a lot for the motor so I'd go forward and back up to allow it to spin back up and them go back in. All in all, it did the job. I removed the scraper bar for a little more clearance of rocks, it gives you a little more but not much. Still worked fine, only chucking a few stones. BE VERY CAREFUL when using on gravel, throw the snow away from vehicles, people and windows, the stones go MUCH farther than the snow. Theres a reason why we moved to wireless devices, cords suck. I have two 12 gauge cords totaling 150 ft, and I spend a decent amount of time moving them around. You'd be surprised how much resistance snow gives when trying to pull a cord through it. The LED light is nice, but havent had to use it yet. The handle seems a little flimsy, wish it felt a bit stronger, but its holding up so far. Probably that way because it folds down to be smaller. It is very lightweight, but still it was a workout pushing up the grade of my drive, which isnt much. Great on the level, easy to maneuver, but if you have hills, self propelled would be nice. For the money, it's a good deal. Even with spending another $150 in extension cords, I've spent less than a battery operated machine. Plus, I can use it as long as it takes, and not have to worry about battery dying. Or needing to drop another bill in a few years on a replacement battery...

Cette souffleuse, si on l'utilise 《intelligemment et dans ses limites》, est un très bon produit. Je suis au Québec alors il y a parfois d'importantes chutes de neige et je déneige un stationnement de 2 voitures et trottoir devant la maison assez rapidement (selon épaisseur et condition de neige). Lorsqu'il y a une bonne épaisseur de neige, par ex. 30 cm, elle fait vraiment bien le travail si on ramasse la neige sur environ le 1/3 de la largeur de la souffleuse. Personnellement, lorsqu'il y a épais de neige, je fais rapidement un petit chemin à la pelle (largeur de la pelle) et passe la souffleuse ensuite en prenant une largeur de neige moindre que celle de la souffleuse. J'adapte la largeur de neige à ramasser selon l'épaisseur. Ainsi je déneige plus épais de neige à la fois, elle demeure facile à pousser, ne force pas et demeure très efficace. Note : Selon mon constat, la capacité annoncée de 10 cm c'est quand on ramasse la neige sur sa pleine largeur. En déneigeant sur moins large, j'ai ramassé de 20 à 30 cm d'épaisseur à la fois. Autre truc pour épaisseurs importantes de neige : basculer légèrement la souffleuse sur ses roues et déneiger le dessus et redescendre graduellement. Elle est légère alors c'est facile. Important! La souffleuse ne doit pas être utilisée où il y a des morceaux de glace à ramasser. Aussi, si vous voyez que la souffleuse est difficile à pousser c'est que vous déblayez des zones de neige trop larges. Et c'est là que vous risquez de la briser. Si la neige est épaisse ou mouillée, déneigez une zone moins large à la fois. Rappellez-vous qu'elle ne coûte pas 2000 $ et n'est pas en acier. 😄 Aussi, n'oubliez pas d'utiliser un fil électrique au calibre recommandé par le fabricant et un peu plus long que nécessaire. Si la chute à neige est correctement installée, elle ne devrait pas trop bouger d'elle-même. Vous changerez seulement la direction au besoin. Suivez bien les instructions d'assemblage du manuel. Enfin, la distance de lancement de la neige est plus grande et efficace si la direction de la chute à neige est vers l'avant. Pour la neige mouillée ça fonctionne mais comme n'importe quelle souffleuse à 1 étape, la neige peut coincer dans la cheminée. Ça vaut la peine d'acheter l'outil SunJoe pour débloquer la cheminée. Bref, si vous voulez une souffleuse très abordable, légère et surprenamment efficace pour un prix très abordable avec un peu d'adaptation (voir mes trucs ci-haut) vous allez l'adorer. J'espère juste maintenant qu'elle sera durable. :)

Used the snowblower for first time today on a couple of inches of semi wet snow. Had previously owned a 5 hp gas blower so was a bit of an adjustment learning the best way to use the blower with an extension cord attached. Performed pretty well. As noted in other reviews snow comes out of the discharge chute better when the chute is pointed straight forward than when it is pointed to the side. Don’t anticipate this being an issue as I live in an area (Winnipeg MB) where we don’t get a lot of wet snow except in the late spring. All in all I am pretty impressed with this snowblower albeit still early days. Pros Light weight -as I’m approaching seventy this is much appreciated Little maintenance - gas blowers require a lot of maintenance and are difficult to move to repair shop unless you have a truck with ramps Environmentally friendly Compact size for storing in garage Cost - much cheaper than a new gas snowblower and far cheaper to run and.cheaper than battery operated electric snowblower without the battery issues they seem to have Cons You need an extension cord rated for a 15 amp device if you don’t already have one so add that to the cost of the snowblower

We live in a snow belt area and get a lot of snow so I have a 9 1/2HP 16 year old gas blower for the heavy deep snow. I bought this electric one for the times when we get less then 10" and I am pleasantly surprised at how much snow it will go through. It can handle some wet snow as long as you don't take a full sweep & can get through snow up to about 8-10" but take your time. It does ride up on the snow with the small wheels but it does blow snow up to 15-20 ft. Winters have been getting milder so my thoughts were to use the electric one as much as possible. It is not powerful enough to dig into what the snow plow puts up at the end of driveway but does a good job on the rest. The biggest concern is handling the heavy duty extension cord and keeping it clear and not curling up. No maintenance and easy to start, noise about the same as a leaf blower. I would recommend this blower but it is electric so don't expect miracles of going through 2 feet of snow Update Feb. 2025 - Into my 5th winter of using this blower & it is still doing a SUPER job. This winter we are getting a lot of snow so either myself or my wife are using this machine 4-5 times a week. I have also done our large deck 5 times this winter & due to light weight very easy to get from garage to deck. I am defiantly getting my money's worth from Snow-Joe - See pics attached

This snow blower works fine for light or less-than-medium snow, but it’s definitely not built for harsher winters like we get in Canada. I was hoping this model would be more powerful and durable, but it fell short. I could barely clear a 4 - 5 foot patch before the handle snapped in half, which made it completely unusable. I was also surprised (and disappointed) to find that the blade is actually made of rubbe, which isn't ideal for heavy-duty use, not what I expected in terms of strength and build quality.

This 21" 15A electric snow blower arrived within 48hrs. Bought this one as a back up in case my first one would brake. So far cleaning 8 driveways and walkways for 2yrs. My first one still runs great. Easy to carry and for LESS than $500 very well worth it. Easy to store in summer in our basement. No gas. No oil just make sure to get a proper extension cord. One that can handle cold weather. Easy to assemble. CAUTION.... Stay far away from the battery operated model # 24V-X2-20SB ...20" 48V cordless. It is a pain for it stalls easily and battery charge lasts only 15mins. Had 2 sets of batteries to be safe. And try going back in the house when your wet from snow with a job half done to change those suckers. Battery compartment got wet in the process and had to trouble shoot this $600 machibe 2X and of no success. Hope Snow Joe can reimburse for that one. So please take my advice. Get the Snow Joe 21" 15A electric blower and get a winter extension cord. Save from shovelling. 5 stars from me and i live near Ottawa Canada. Heavy snow and ice.?. This machine can do it ALL!!!
