Review Snow Joe SJ620 18-Inch "much better than anticipated, less guilty than gas-powered"

We got socked with 2' of snow just two days after receiving the Snow Joe, and we were pretty concerned about whether it could handle it. We were also VERY happily surprised! Admittedly that snow was a very light, dry, powdery snow, but still 2' is a lot of snow for a "cute" snowthrower (as our formal plow guy called it) to handle. The Snow Joe handled that storm extraordinarily well. It actually gets right down to the pavement. The cord isn't a big deal - kind of hard to miss this bright orange thing snaking across fresh white snow. Just be sure not to step on it otherwise you could fall. The electric snowthrower is ecologically a much better option than gas-powered. Plus you don't have to worry about the gas / oil mix going bad in the 9 or more months you won't be using it. Less than a week later we had another storm - Snow Joe handled it beautifully. Again, a dry powdery snow so we still didn't know how it would handle the kind of snow that causes shoveling heart attacks. Well, we found out two days ago - 4" of heavy wet snow, followed by sleet / ice / freezing rain. Our cute snow thrower cleaned right down to the pavement without a hitch. We are THRILLED with this purchase!
