Snow Joe iON18SB 40-Volt Snowblower Review

[@brandywineblogger1411]

Good going! Great video! I have had the same Snow Joe for several years and I love it. Its a little work horse. Here's what I have found: 1) Yes, heavy wet snow will tax the battery and make it work harder. It will last maybe 40 minutes. 2) Light cold snow is a delight. I can do our drive, front walk and help our neighbor a bit. 3) I have found if I buy a (store brand) can of vegetable or cooking spray, and spray it down the shute, the snow doesn't stick as much. 4) Often if you think the battery has died, it's because with all the jostling, pushing and pulling, the battery has slipped just a tad off the contacts. Just open the compartment and slide the battery in again until you hear it click. 5) As a guy, you naturally have more upper body strength which helps. Just for the record, I'm a 74 year old lady. I bought my Snow Joe several years ago so my ❤️ husband, who had heart bypass surgery would not have to move snow.

[@LoveClassicMusic0205]

I have this exact same snowblower, but I paid a whole lot more than you did. I bought mine in 2015. It doesn't make that high pitched whine that yours does. So far I haven't had any problem with the battery and I'm still on the original. My driveway and sidewalk aren't that big and unless it's a deep snow, I can usually get two pushes before needing to recharge the battery. I'm very satisfied with the unit.

[@lindadelamar5975]

I’ve had one for a few years. I bought an extra battery. Yesterday we had about 6-8” of snow; a bit wet. Sometimes with deep snow I do it in 2 layers. This time I pretty much did it all at once. It still does what I need & saves my back 😊

[@raysdga]

Just get a 2 stage Ariens 24". The SHO comes with a 368cc 11.5hp you can just walk behind. Charge up....😂. The next time your wife bitches at you about the ozone and methane tell her cows account for 60% of it because of burping. AHHAHAHAHAH Dude cut that chain. Check her ass!!!

[@catherinehalley7162]

Just used ours today for a heavy snow, about 6-8”. Initially watched your video because I wasn’t sure about that high pitched noise it makes 😂 anyway I have a two car driveway and the battery overheated and died after about half the driveway was done so about 40 minutes of running. I charged it back up and was able to finish the driveway, move the cars to get behind and around, and still had battery left after that round which only took 25-30 minutes. Considering getting a second battery just so I can do my whole driveway in the same pass. Thanks for sharing about the fuse, I definitely feel like the overheating contributes to the chances of that fuse burning out, so now I know to be careful of that 😬

[@vl.3552]

Great video. I have the same snow thrower! My machine is 4 years old and it still works great. Got an extra spare battery for longer run time. I like the unit’s light weight, not too heavy to push or pull around.

[@SPRDAVE]

[@grazz7865]

@@SPRDAVE I’m with you on gas. I’m not sold on battery yet. My neighbor bought an electric snowblower. Gave up after 15 minutes of struggling. Broke out the shovel. Just curious-are you talking from experience with an electric snowblower or opinion?

[@BradKwfc]

Bought two of these a few months back for really cheap on the local classifieds. Sold the batts and converted them to run on dual Ryobi batts. Today I finally got to test one of them in 3" of medium wet snow, very impressed. Threw the snow about 15-20'.

Hows the build quality..Does it still work?

[@BradKwfc]

@AKT’s Channel Late reply sorry. Still works great. Had alot of snow this year too.

[@freezburn]

I purchased this same blower on June2019 and has been a strong unit. I don't have a garage so I have street parking so I'm able to clean out my side of the street for two cars, do my path to the house and the sidewalk, do some of my neighbors sidewalk and still have a light on the battery left. I do have two batteries in case I need the extra use but so far I haven't had the need of it. Thing to remember is that if you are going to expect 8" or more of snow you have to go out there and do a run before you get all the snow that way the machine is not fighting hard on deep snow, specially if its wet snow which it can handle but you definitely have to go slower and let the machine do the job at its pace. I didn't know about the fuse inside the battery but now that I know I'm actually happy about it because if something like what happened here happens to me I'll have a good chance of saving my battery instead of having to buy a new one.

[@dosdont]

You did the right thing returning it. Snow Joe needs to fix their problems.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Just used mine yesterday and did both the driveway, my sidewalk and half of my neighbor’s sidewalk off one battery charge. I also bought two spare batteries just in case my power goes out. It does the job!

[@dashcammer4322]

I bought one of these after being somewhat disappointed with a 40v Snow Joe power shovel, so I have two 40v batteries. We got 14 inches of dry powder yesterday. I went out midway and again at the end. No complaints. It's built to a price (which was pretty low). I haven't had any malfunctions yet, but if I do, I'll just buy a Toro. Till then, I'll drive it till it drops.

[@johnmckenzie8522]

I hope you learn your lesson don't buy any battery operated know one can repair snow joe blower all was buy gas snow blower from small engine store they will give you a better snow blower like Toro.

Great video! I’ve had same model for 5 years, works great! Same issue with batteries and had charger go bad. My charger was past warranty so bought new one, actually two. Also bought a new battery. My original battery still works. The new one also blew fuse that shows the battery level (one year old). Customer service was great, they are sending me a new one. I recommend having two batteries, and even two chargers. the wet heavy snow will drain much quicker, nice to have another battery ready to finish the job.

[@SandiBoucher]

I have an electric snow joe. Have to manually move the shoot to throw the snow but no battery and I LOVE IT! (Had to buy a really long cord though.)

[@Poepad]

Never leave a lith battery out in the freezing temps, it will kill the battery.

I found one of these in the trash recently and I took it Apart as the motor spun but nothing else worked and it was just the belt. I was dry rotted but it still was intact but It fell off. 5 dollars and someone effort and I have a 5 dollar snow blower. Everything spins and the light and shoot adjuster works. Haven’t had snow yet but I’m very excited to test it. We needed a snow blower anyways. Gotta get a charger and battery though

[@jo-annemurray5923]

Thanks for your review! Too bad about the fuses inside the battery. I was ready to go out and buy one. Definitely want to do a little more research.

[@ryanw1223]

Please help! What replacement/spare battery would you recommend? I see a 40v 2ah or a 40v 5ah. My neighbor has one of these blowers and has been doing my sidewalk for me all winter. I want to thank him by buying him a battery but I don’t know anything about the unit.

I bought the Snow Joe 24V-X2-SB18-XR 18-Inch 48-Volt Cordless Snow Blower, Kit exactly a year ago (with 2 batteries) but have not been able to use it.

You sir just saved me $200 from a deal I saw on Amazon. And I agree with you about the battery. Either they fix the fuse problem or remove the statement that warranty is void if you open it. Great video!

[@techgooch]

Glad to help! Totally agree!

[@martinmuldoon603]

@@techgooch these batteries should have a overload meter that changes colour according to load demand so that the user knows to ease off, even if the fuse didn't blow the lifetime of the battery would be very short, also could have a resetable overload button, the very least all tools should have a replaceable external a fuse link on the battery. I have an electric bicycle with a hub motor, the display has a feature which shows how much current (amps) is being drawn from the battery. I try to keep the load below 10 amps, obviously if I were to ride the bike up a long steep incline over time the battery would heat up and so would the motor, common sense tells me not to overload the motor or battery. I presume the snow blowers draw very high amps causing a drop in efficiency of both motor and battery, if your battery is even slightly warm you are damaging the intenal cells however if you were to slow down a little and also take breaks that should solve the problem. You need to feel and think for the machine, keep asking yourself, does the motor sound overburdened, if so ease off a little bit. I was raised on a farm, after a few breakdowns in the middle of cutting grass or bailing hay etc. I soon learned to work your machine just below it's max otherwise it will break. It saves in the long run to go a bit slower, just imaging you are trying to shovel all that snow, better to take your time out you will get exhausted very quickly, it's the same for the machine.

[@JeepWrangler1957]

I bought mine in Nov. 2019. The winter that year was pretty mild. It worked like a champ. Then this Winter started mild...then about a foot of heavy wet snow over two days. It worked well and my only issue was not having ordered a second battery, which I did. The battery is half the cost of the machine. Then we had a light 2" of very dry snow. I started her up and we went 10" and it stopped. Called C/S they walked me through some stuff then said they were sending out a new one and to send the old one back and they are paying shipping. It arrives Tuesday AFTER the cold and more snow that is coming. This thing is really a great machine. The best thing is if you know you are getting more than a couple of inches...do it a few times rather than waiting for it to finish snowing. As mentioned I had the same thing happen to me, but I tried a BRAND NEW BATTERY which was never used which also didn't work.

[@leanidis300]

I’m so confused I’ve had mine since 2019 that’s never happened but what I don’t get and correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it a simple change the fuse which are cheap and then it runs again? I use mine just for the backyard to clear it for our dogs I don’t do our whole driveway you really got a lot of work out on yours maybe that’s why your fuse went but if you need to change a little fuse isn’t that easy?

[@gearhead3135]

would this work on a loose gravel driveway?

[@ElBrodito]

Great video my friend. I have a unit, exact model, but i want really impressed. My unit does not throw the snow as far as yours (maybe 2 to 5 feet). Besides, it did not clean to the ground as I see yours. I am returning mine and considering an EGO, which I see good reviews. Thanks for the review man!!!

[@techgooch]

I am hoping to try the EGO out eventually. A little more money, but I think it is built a litter better.

[@tbunnewith]

The 13" snowjoe cordless power shovel works fine for paths, my deck and sidewalks. The 24v battery model is more than adequate. Bought refurbished. The 40v is problematic. Get a smaller Toro powerclear 21" gas for the driveway otherwise you'll be all day trying to get thru the plowed stuff at the end. And parts are easy and readily available. Facebook marketplace. Paid $100 bucks or so for each. Joe was refurbished, Toro was used. Electric blowers clog too much. My back is grateful. A winning combination.

[@thehealthysengwich1166]

Thanks for the honest review. Was considering this item

[@KNESBEY]

Hey don't you have the hybrid one that plugs in too. When your batter died you should've run it with the plug so we can see the difference

[@katieblake8911]

where do you live I am from Memphis and we could have used this last winter cause we got a big snow and we never get big snow storms

[@akasp5999]

I love my sno joe so much I bought another battery. It really works well.

[@Jeo-What]

Thanks for the video. For the size of your driveway I would get a larger unit like the Snow Joe iON100V-21, Toro E21 or EGO SNT2114 to complete the driveway with single charge because when the big dump of snow come (and it always does) you will be thankful for the next 5 years. I would pick a battery system that will do multiple tools like the lawn mower, trimmer, blower, snow blower.... whatever your seasonal outdoor tool requirement are and stick with it.

[@thebostoncook4109]

Got the hybrid one (electric and battery) that they stopped selling for obvious reasons. Sent it back 3x. Every time only one of the power methods would work, not both. They are sending out the new 48 v system that works off the 24v batteries which kinda sucks because I have a bunch of those single 40v batteries which will now be worthless

[@sunshineflower9913]

Thank you for the review of the snow blower very worried about the fuse that not good.

[@vpking77]

We just had around 7-8 inches of really fluffy dry snow in NJ. I used mine and the chute kept getting filled with snow. I tried several angles. I don't know how Techgooch was able to clear heavy snow where it really sticks to the chute without having to stop every couple of feet. The snow we had on Saturday should have been the easiest of snow to clear. I had to end up shoveling by hand.

[@shawnalLovesJesus]

@KingC1220 Thank you. I saw one say use pam spray on the thing in front that churns the snow. And another said ceramic spray. Purpose being to not let it stick.

I had the Ego single stage with 2 5amp batteries for 2 years hated it. The first unit suffered a circuit board failure and Ego sent me a replacement unit. The unit didn't throw wet snow that far and the units batteries usually ran out of power just handling what the city plow left me. I'm back to using a gas single stage Toro.

The one with two batteries and a manual crank chute. Keep the boxes! They’ll want the dead one back! I am actually strongly tempted to just return it to Walmart; if it’s a different model, I won’t be able to return it.

[@xj31]

I have the same snowblower and it was awesome. Until it wasn't. I bought it in December of 2020 and I was loving it. Even bought a spare battery so I could just keep going. Probably used it 5 times total last year. 1st time using it this year it did my entire driveway. Battery died so I switched to the second battery and was blowing the snow off my deck when it made a pop noise and totally died. Blew the fuse in the battery. Ok, charged the other battery up and the only thing that works is the light and the chute moves. Motor is dead. Luckily it has a 2 year warranty and they are sending me a new one but it won't be the same model because this one is discontinued.

I would use that to compliment the gas powered one here. Sometimes we get two feet of snow from a blizzard and I know just looking that the electric will not clean that much and I am specifically meaning the packed snow plowed in the street which raises the 2 feet to 3 feet of packed hard snow that even a gas powered struggles with which has a 28" high mouth opening. for the lighetr amounts like 4' to 6" this electric might be a great option.

[@platonkavvadias8541]

Good video. I bought a corded Snow - Joe, it worked for 2 days then it overheated. I returned it and they sent me another one. Better than shoveling snow. Quality is poor,and the handles are not suitable for a 6 foot person,it would be nice if handles were adjustable.

I am out of the return for it or I would return it. When the belt is good It moves a lot of snow. It is really designed for a paved driveway of sidewalk. Gravel is what I have with some effort I can make it work. When I get a new belt I am going to try to put some kind of shoe for it. to help with the gravel
