- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025Style: 18-Inch Original BlueVerified PurchaseThis shovel, with the metal edge, clears the snow down to the concrete of my driveway. But, if you are working on a gravel pathway, it is not so good as the metal edge, while good on concrete, tends to pick up the gravel or get stuck on gravel that is embedded in the ground. On concrete and asphalt, it is great. The extra handle does make it easier to lift heavy snow and toss it a pretty good distance. It's a pretty light shovel and that helps with being able to toss the snow a greater distance. It seems to be pretty durable and a pretty good value. The metal edge, in my opinion, makes it a preferable option to my plastic edge shovels.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025Style: 18-Inch PolycarbonateVerified PurchaseIt is the best snow shovel I have ever used in my entire life. I absolutely will never buy a different snow shovel ever again. The durability and maneuverability is great. Value for this is good and a decent price for what you pay for. Easy to clean off after using. Easy to store until later use.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Style: 18-Inch Original BlueVerified PurchaseI just got my Snowjoe shovel and although I haven’t had the opportunity to use it, I’m sharing some facts/features about it that may be helpful if you’re considering a purchase. Assembly: The SJ comes in a thin box in 3 parts. A plus is the shovel is light. The shovel blade attaches to a middle pole which has the leverage handle, and that pole attaches to the pole with the top handle. Attachments can be a bit tricky. The middle pole has a silver button on it that you must push in for the pole to go into the shovel blade. But the middle pole also has a channel in it at the bottom that must align with a raised edge deep in the receiving hole in the shovel blade (all black plastic so a bit difficult to notice). I didn’t realize that at first and couldn’t figure out why the middle pole wouldn’t go as deep as it needed to. Once I saw the need for the alignment, the middle pole and shovel blade made a tight fit. As for attaching the top pole to the middle pole, they connect via a screw that goes through both poles and has a large, easy to turn nut on the end to tighten by hand. The only trick here is putting the screw through the correct hole. You’ll want to insert the screw through the hole with the square opening as it aligns with a square at the top of the screw. Once assembled, the shovel seems sturdy. 2 more pluses: The leverage handle on the middle pole flexes and they provide a strap so you can strap it to the middle pole for storage. As a result, if you want to hang your SJ for storage, the leverage handle won’t stick out. And the instructions include a 2 year warranty and a 1-800 number to contact customer service. So why didn’t I give the SJ a 5/5 rating? Only because I’m 6’3” and the shovel is a bit short for me. Not too short though—I look forward to using it!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025Style: 18-Inch Original BlueVerified PurchaseWirks great for pushibg and throwing. I expected my back and shoulder to take a beating, but no problems during 30 minutes of work. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024I knew I needed to find a snow shovel that would allow me to clear my driveway without putting strain on my recovering back. Last year's heavy snowfall caught me off guard, but this year, I was prepared thanks to Snow Joe.
The first thing that impressed me about this shovel is its innovative design. The spring-assisted handle significantly reduces strain on my back and shoulders, making shoveling snow much more manageable and comfortable. Even after extended use, I don't feel the same fatigue and soreness that I did with my old shovel. It's truly remarkable how much of a difference this feature makes.
Not only is the Snow Joe shovel ergonomic and easy on the body, but it's also incredibly efficient at clearing snow. The 20-inch blade allows me to move large amounts of snow with each pass, saving me time and effort. The shovel's durable construction means it can handle even the heaviest snowfalls without bending or breaking, giving me confidence that it will last for many winters to come.
Another thing I appreciate about this shovel is its versatility. The adjustable handle allows me to customize the height to suit my needs, further reducing strain on my back. Whether I'm clearing snow from my driveway, sidewalk, or patio, this shovel gets the job done quickly and effectively.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Snow Joe SJ-SHLV20 Shovelution Snow Shovel. It's made a world of difference in my winter routine and has allowed me to tackle snow removal with confidence and ease, even after back surgery. If you're in need of a snow shovel that puts your comfort and safety first, look no further than Snow Joe. It's a game-changer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually good!
Style: 18-Inch Original BlueVerified PurchaseI was hesitant about this because the handle is more of a spring and not a solid bar like most. But it actually helps throw the snow further! It easy to pick up and throw the snow while not having to bend over, I cleared an additional 2ft of snow on each side of my drive way in about 20 minutes and I wasn't even sweating lifting the wet heavy slush. Usually that amount of snow would have taken an hour and at least 2 breaks while leaving me sore after but this was actually easy and kind of enjoyable! Sturdy and well made! Also came way earlier than it was projected! Wins all around!
