Handles Big Driveways and Heavy Snowfalls
Behind the Snow Joe Ultra SJ621's dependable performance is a powerful 13-1/2 amp motor, which allows it to move up to 650 pounds of snow per minute. Built to help you clear walkways, patios, and driveways quickly and without straining your back, the SJ621 utilizes a heavy-grade steel, four-blade rotor, and can throw snow up to 20 feet. You don't have to worry about moving the same snow twice, even when clearing the middle of your driveway.

With each pass, the SJ621 cuts a path that's a full 18 inches wide and 10 inches deep, and the snow thrower's scraper is designed to clear all the snow down to the pavement. This translates to an impressive 2,450 square feet of potential snow removal per hour.

Because winter days are short, the SJ621 also features a bright, 20-watt halogen light to make early-morning or late-night clearing operations a little more convenient and safer.

Smart Details Keep You in Control
With an adjustable discharge chute, which rotates a complete 180 degrees, and a chute deflector that can be adjusted to control the height of the snow stream produced by the thrower, you have complete control over where the snow you move ends up.

And the body of the SJ621 is easy to maneuver and control. Compact, easy-glide, pivot wheels make it easy to turn the snow thrower at the end of each pass, while the thrower's ergonomic grips make it easy and comfortable to direct. In addition to making handling easier, the thrower's compact shape also makes storing the unit more convenient in between winter storms.

Electric Engine is Easy to Start and Maintain
The SJ621's corded electric design means that you never have to worry about dead batteries, running out of gas, or making the right gas-oil mix. And its electric engine doesn't require the costly regular maintenance of a combustion engine.

In addition, with push-button Instant Start technology, you can trust that this snow thrower will be ready to work whenever you are--no frustrating, arm-wrenching pull starts required.

The dependable Snow Joe Ultra SJ621 is ETL inspected and approved, and is backed by a full two-year warranty.

This review is from: Snow Joe SJ621 18-Inch 13.5-Amp Electric Snow Thrower With Headlight (Lawn & Patio)

Bought the model SJ621 a few weeks back at a big box club store as Amazon wasn't carrying the Snow Joe with a headlight.

First used this little fellow a couple days after receiving it on about 6" of wet, early season snow.

The Snow Joe did OK in clearing our driveway. It is a little small (18" width), which means you'll have to make more passes, and since it's electric, you might have to "double-pump" a bit, as in make a pass then make another one immediately afterwards.

Our snow was pretty wet, especially close to the driveway, so Little Snow Joe only threw it 10' at most, but using my head I was able to clear our 60x80' driveway in just under an hour. I'd imagine it will do better with drier snow.

Of course I had to go around after the Snow Joe with a shovel to clean up, but that's to be expected.

I wouldn't try wet snow any deeper than 6"...this morning I could tell this little guy was straining...this means any larger storms and you'll have to keep ahead of the snow in order to not overwhelm the Snow Joe.

I took the advice on the instructions and put some WD-40 on the pivot points of the chute and lever and it was easy to turn and aim.

Didn't need the light the first time I used it 'cuz it was daytime, but after use I noticed it was covered in snow, so I'm guessing when I do use the light I'll have to keep brushing it off.

I used a 12GA 100' extension cord and this seemed to work fine.

All in all, much easier than shoveling by hand, and at this price, a very good deal.

UPDATE 12/20:

Well, this little guy just took care of another 5" of wet snow. In addition, the headlight came in very handy tonight as it helped me see where the extension cord was...even with a bright yellow cord, it's hard to see it when it's snowing hard and dark. Still very happy with the purchase. I may make a video of the little fella in use during the next storm.

Extremely pleased with this item. When it was delivered it was taken outside immediately and used as we just had snow.

It's lightweight, well built and very easy to use.

Electric is awesome. Have had other gas powered snow throwers that are touchy to start and often times don't start. Replacing spark plugs, etc. They are also very heavy to use.

Can't say enough about how happy we are with this product.

This review is from: Snow Joe SJ621 18-Inch 13.5-Amp Electric Snow Thrower With Headlight (Lawn & Patio)

Cleared snow over 10" deep like a champ. Headlight helps at night to see the cord and snow ahead.

Would buy again and recommend it to others as well. Based on my experience =)
