What shoppers are saying

The Snow Joe snow blower is a top choice among Amazon shoppers, and with its affordable sale price tag there are even more reasons to love it. Backed by a solid 4-star rating from more than 900 customer reviews, this snow thrower might just be a worthwhile investment — at least according to shoppers.

"This little Snow Joe was a beast," one reviewer shared. They raved that it was able to remove snow quickly and easily, plus it's "not too heavy" and "barely takes up any room" inside the garage.

"More powerful than expected," added another. When used to clear a deck and a driveway, the reviewer noted that this snow blower was "easy to move around" and "nice and light."

Since this snow blower is meant for smaller areas, it may not be the best choice for large driveways or patios. According to shoppers, it's also better suited to light snow no more than 8 inches high, as it may not have the strength to handle anything "deeper or wet snow."

Verdict

With heavy snow blanketing many parts of the country, there's no better time to add this winter essential to your arsenal. This Snow Joe snow blower is an affordable and space-saving choice that may be a great option to tackle this year's snowfall, especially for those who live in urban areas and aren't in need of a heavy-duty machine.

For larger areas, you can also shop the Snow Joe Motor Electric Single Stage Snow Thrower, 18", which offers even more snow clearing power.
