Snow Joe 18-in Plastic Blade Shovel/Pusher Snow Shovel with 41.3-in Aluminum Handle

The SNOWJOE to the rescue . . . .

Ok, so this is a LIFE-SAVER !!!!! For anyone that has some age, this is wonderful. It is an absolutely back saver. My arms and shoulders were sore but my back was fine .... I'll take that everyday, all day! First of all, this is a well made shovel. It's solid and has a good blade. It lifts a lot more than it probably should. And then you add the "extra" handle and it's a game changer. We put it to use during this 2026 East Coast Storm and it really made a noticeable difference. I like this so mu...

Shovel and other SnowJoe product

It would be good shovel but the handle is too short. I'm 5'10" and used it only for a little bit and I feel uncomfortable in my lower back. Both handles should be adjustable, main shaft should be much longer. Unfortunately I can't return it since I assembled it and used it, money waste. I will never use again SnowJoe product, I had their corded electric snowblower, used it one time 3 year ago, worked well but we didn't have much snow for few years and it was in the shed, now we had a big snow s...

Great shovel, but it's not going to be an heirloom

I've seen young kids struggling with their bent-handle shovels while I'm shoveling away with my "Strain-Reducing" Snow-Joe at 64 years old. Unfortunately, the shovel is now 4 years old. The paint on the spring-steel element for the lift handle has chipped off in multiple places, and the steel is rusting. And today, the steel edge popped off the shovel blade. It's still somewhat usable, but I doubt I'll get another season out of it. Meanwhile, the ancient wooden-handled / aluminum-bladed ...

Good news; bad news

We live in NW PA and have had over two feet of snow this week alone (and it's still coming down). In short, I use my 18" SJ shovel - A LOT! On the plus side, it has held-up well and does reduce strain by providing various shoveling options/angles. I like it A LOT! The bad news? Today, the spring assist handle rusted through and broke off. The date on the label says 2016. So, yes...it's "old" and has had a good run. Still, it seems like a design flaw to construct such an essential part out of met...

Edge guard detaches

I purchased two of the shovels last snow season and absolutely loved the ergonomics and back saving design. But very disappointed at the quality and longevity of the edge guard and paddle as it fails after minimal use. As an engineer I think reinforcing the paddle and edge guard would go a long way to a winner product.

Sure to fail when you need it most!

Absolute trash excuse for a shovel. Come to the first snow storm with a hint of ice and it completely shatters. The plastic is flimsy and the metal strip at the bottom is completely for show. Don’t waste your time or money on this piece of junk.

Good but one problem.

I purchased this shovel a couple of years ago. It would have been a 5 star for ease of use and ending back strain but the metal edge fell off and the naked plastic edge is now vulnerable to damage. I can only use it for soft light snow

Extra handle strap broke off

I’ve had my shovel for a couple of years and unfortunately, today the additional handle that is flexible broke off where it connects to the pole. Wondering if I can order this handle with the metal strap?

LOVE this shovel!

Bought this last year. BEST shovel i have ever owned!...My wife thought it was a novelty until our latest storm and found it effortless to use!...have recommended it to all our friends!....cannot rave enough about this product!

Love the Shovel - One suggestion for Improvement

Absolutely love the Snow Joe shovel. I have the 18" shovel and it works very well for my needs. I am 5'8" tall and the two handles are positioned very well for me to use. No strain at all and I was able to shovel 4" of new snow from my three car driveway and the sidewalk in front of my house in the same time that my neighbor was able to shovel just their front sidewalk. So, it easy to use and faster than using other snow shovels. I think I was able to maintain a faster rate due to the reduc...
