    Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". czcams.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.

    “At the end of the day everything is your decision” “I’ve fallen in love with what I do” so I love this because, he acknowledges his presence if you get what I’m saying. But also every time I watch these videos I’m like “that’s so dangerous how would you do that” and then I’m like “they wanted to they must love it so if they die it’s while having fun ig” but the first part the every decision is yours !!! I love that you learn that as you grow, wether you had guidance as a child or not you learn your decisions and how to watch them each day! It helps to watch them!!
