From The Manufacturer

It’s Electric, Boogie Woogie, Woogie! Responding to the need for an easy-to-use machine that could tackle heavier snowfall on mid-sized driveways and walkways, Snow Joe® developed the Snow Joe® Ultra SJ620, a larger electric snow thrower that delivers the power of a gas machine with the convenience of an electric unit. Driven by a powerful 13.5-amp motor, the Snow Joe® Ultra moves up to 650 lbs of snow per minute. Its durable, 4-blade rotor, constructed of heavy-grade steel, cuts 18 inches wide by 10 inches deep with each pass, clearing up to 2450 square feet per hour! In addition to its hard-working plowing capacity, the Snow Joe® Ultra features an adjustable discharge chute that rotates a complete 180º to provide full control over the snow stream direction. The chute deflector can also be adjusted to control the height of the snow stream. Easy-glide pivot wheels make the Snow Joe® Ultra easy to turn and maneuver on each pass. The scraper blade at the base of the unit efficiently scrapes the snow clear to the ground without damaging your deck or pavement. Powered electrically, the Snow Joe® Ultra SJ620 is effortless to start and maintain. No gas, oil, or tune-ups are necessary. The unit is ETL-approved and carries a full two year warranty. For heavier snowfall on mid-sized driveways and walkways, the Snow Joe®Ultra SJ620 is your smart solution this winter.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

With reliable 13A of power, lightweight build, and easy-to-maneuver wheels, it effectively moves snow without a high price tag.
Ease of using the controls was very good.
The engine powers the auger to clear up to 18 inches of space at a cut depth of 10 inches. The speed of the auger spinning allows it to discharge snow through the chute up to a distance of 20 feet.
The machine is ideal for quick snow pickups on the mid-sized driveways and walkways. For effortless start and maintenance, no gas or oil is required.
-
It comes equipped with steel blades, which chomps through snow more easily than plastic blades, plus they’re more durable. Those blades are also covered with rubber to protect the surface under the snow that you’re plowing.

What reviewers didn't like

Owners gripe about flimsy feel of the plastic components. Dense, wet snow can be challenging for it to move.
Lacks freewheel steering (making it harder to turn).
The controls to start the SJ620, run the auger and rotate the discharge chute are located all within reach of the handle. Unfortunately, the handle does not allow you to adjust it to your height.
Heavy, wet stuff, or packed material will take longer to move, and it won’t throw nearly as far as the maximum 20 feet that’s listed.
