The Snow Joe SJ620 is a powerful electric snow blower – not loud or heavy and clears snow easily, even wet or hard packed. On the other hand it`s not so effective when dealing with deeper snow. Comes with a full two-year warranty.

Power

The Snow Joe SJ620 features a 13,5 amp motor which powers a four steel blade rotor – with a clearing path of 18×10 inch it`s able to throw 650 pounds of snow per minute. The throwing distance is about 15-20 feet (10 when dealing with wet snow).

The unit is not big or heavy but still provides a very solid power, it clears driveways, patios or walkways easily and is able to deal even with wet or hard packed snow thrown to your entrance by a snow plow. And the scraper blade is quite effective for clearing the snow right to the ground.

However it is still far away from gas machines when dealing with deeper snow – it can manage it but the effort is probably not justified.

Construction

We can say this model is very easy to assemble, it won`t take you more than 5-10 minutes. Most of the parts are made of plastic so the weight is on a solid level, also they appear to be sturdy and durable enough.

Like most snow throwers it features a 180-degree adjustable chute and an adjustable deflector.

Electric

As this machine is electric, one of its disadvantages is of course the necessity of keeping track of the cord. However this is only a slight problem as there are also many advantages against gas powered snow blowers – it`s not loud, starts immediately with a push of a button and there are no carbon emissions.

Also there is almost no maintenance included – we would just recommend spraying the blades and chute with a high quality lubricant to prevent wet snow from sticking there and clogging the machine.

Conclusion:  The Snow Joe SJ620 is a great tool for clearing small to medium snow (even when it is wet, with a crust or hard packed), it`s powerful and not heavy or loud. We can definitely recommend it.
