Brand: Snow Joe

DUAL DYNAMO, REVOLUTIONARY RECHARGEABLE! Just a few short years ago, Snow Joe took the world by storm with their innovative line of , battery-powered snow blowers. Now they’re back in a BIG way again with the iON18SB-HYB. Ideal for clearing snow from sidewalks, mid-sized driveways and walkways, the Snow Joe iON18SB-HYB is the revolutionary new addition to the Snow Joe ion arsenal to provide your choice of corded OR cord-free operation. Powered by iONMAX technology, Snow Joe’s innovative, interchangeable rechargeable lithium-ion battery system, the ion includes a 40 V battery to deliver over 50 minutes* of whisper-quiet runtime with zero carbon emissions for cleaner air. And only ion lets you switch from a single 40 V iONMAX power to corded electric for limitless snow-shredding power. This state-of-the-art cordless dynamo is also engineered with a powerful 13. 5-amp brushless motor, and starts instantly with a simple push of a button. Equipped with a heavy-duty 2-blade rubber auger, the ion plows through up to 500 pounds of snow per minute, clearing a path 18-inches wide by 8-inches deep with each pass. Plus, the scraper bar at the base of the unit lets you clear right to the ground without damaging your deck or pavement. Featuring a 180° adjustable chute to direct the snow stream up to 20 feet away. And for nighttime snow removal, the ion comes equipped with an integrated 3 W LED headlight for increased nighttime visibility. *Initial no-load voltage, when fully charged, peaks at 40 volts; nominal voltage under typical load is 36 volts.

Buyer Guide Snow Blowers

Winter has finally arrived! It’s time to get the snow blower out of the shed and clean up the snow. Don’t fall prey to flashy advertisements. Instead, spend some time reviewing the features and specifications of each model.

• Look for snow blowers that are lightweight. This is particularly relevant if you plan on using a snow blower on a regular basis.
• Look for a snow blower with a curved chute. These chutes bend more naturally, making it easier to shovel the snow into the snow thrower.
• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch chute.
• Look for a snow blower with a 12-inch clearance. This is helpful because it enables you to clear more snow with less effort.
• Look for a snow blower with a 15-inch clearing width.
• Look for a snow blower with a 7.5-inch turning radius.
• Look for a snow blower with a 25-inch cutting width.
