Reviews : LIGHT TO MEDIUM DUTY - UP TO EIGHT INCHES DEPTH

The Snow Joe SJ620 18-Inch 13.5-Amp Electric Snow Thrower is handy and easy to use. However, it's far and away from a gas-powered blower. I am happy with mine, but it is only useful for DRY snow (DRY meaning, not WET and in temperatures below 30 degress F) up to about eight inches. As long as the snow is dry (Dry and HEAVY is OK) it works great. But if the snow is WET (such as snow rain or melting) you'd be better off shoveling or brooming it) because WET snow clogs up inside the blade compartment and shoot and that's the end of any blowing. After almost instant clogging if one continues to try anyway he/she is almost certain to either blow the circuit or cook the motor. THAT SAID, I want to restate that I am nevertheless HAPPY with mine. I learned when I can use it or not, which in my region is usually most of the time.

UPDATE: Commenter A. Fritz offered this advice to me concerning WET snow sticking and clogging the blade compartment and shoot: [quote] "You might want to spray a high quality lubricant on the inside of the blades and the chute. This has helped mine greatly with wet snow when its above 30 degrees FYI." [endquote]

Thanks again AF for the advice. As everyone knows just two days ago the Ohio Midwest was bombarded with another 8 inches of heavy WET rain snow mostly moving up from the Gulf States. It was the perfect opportunity to try AF's recommendation of a good lubricant and I did and it worked CRC 05074 Heavy Duty Silicone Multi-Use Lubricant - 7.5 Wt Oz.. So now that I have been properly humbled, I am changing my "THREE STARS" to "FIVE STARS" and giving this terrific machine an ALL THUMBS UP!
