Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After a lot of searching and review reading of several different battery powered snow blowers, I chose the Snow Joe 24V-X2-SB18. We got a first snow today in Michigan and it is the wet and heavy variety. I immediately thought I was going to be disappointed, but was really surprised by this unit. I went in knowing that it is a battery powered unit and is not going to have the same power as a gas snow blower, but it handled the heavy wet snow (about 3-4 inches) pretty well. When I went out front, my neighbor was already out shoveling his drive and looked over at my Snow Joe and audibly laughed. Fast forward to 15 minutes later and I'm done and in my warm house while my neighbor is still outside shoveling and is only 50% done (If not for the snide chuckling at my Snow Joe, I may have done his walk as well). All in all, there is a slight learning curve to using it, but with a bit of patience it does a good job and no gas, smell and is very quiet compared to a gas unit. Would recommend to anyone that is tired of shoveling and doesn't want to deal with a gas blower.
