Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Another reviewer posted what to do if you get this, so thank you (I think). The instructions would have you believe this is very quick and easy to put 3 poles together and done! It could not be more wrong. The power cord is too long out of the box. SnowJoe is aware of this, but apparently have not fixed it. If you get this, plan to disassemble the bottom pole from the base, pull the cord thru/down making sure not to pinch the cord anywhere and then re-assemble the unit. It helps if you have 2 people there. If you're not comfortable messing with the wiring, I would pass on this. As for the product's use, I found it was useless in heavy snow that was water logged. It did well in lighter, less heavy snow. Some things to be aware of with this: 1) Only blows straight. Depending on wind and how you maneuver this, could be blowing back into your face. 2) Battery did not last my full drive, would require 2 batteries to get the entire thing done. 3) It wasn't heavy, but it's not light either. I could see some people thinking it's too heavy b/c you have to use like a shovel. 4) It's not a snow blower, I know that's obvious, but if you expect this to act like a snow blower but smaller, you'll be disappointed. It's a shovel that has an electric part to it. 5) VERY narrow. The specs are listed, but I didn't realize till using it just how narrow this would be. My normal shovel is at least 2-3x as wide as this. I'll probably keep it around to do the apron and walkway quick in a light snow, but that's about it. It's a lot of work b/c it's so narrow.
