Snow Joe Rechargeable Snow Blower
The Snow Joe iON18SB Rechargeable Snow Blower
When the winter weather hits and the snow comes falling down you need a reliable piece of equipment to clear the snow from your garden, driveway or the sidewalk outside your property.
The Snow Joe iON18SB snow blower is the answer to your problems.
The more traditional snow blowers that run on gas can be heavy to use, very loud and are not great for the environment.
This model is lightweight at just 32 pounds making it easy to manoeuvre and running on a battery instead of gas means no gas spillages, no pull cords and zero carbon emissions.
Unlike many other electric and battery snow blowers the Snow Joe iON18SB is cordless meaning you are not restricted in how far you can go by how long the cord is or get tangled in it!
The snow blower runs on a 40 volt lithium ion battery made with EcoSharp technology. The battery is rechargeable and once charged will run for 50 minutes; plenty of time to clear all necessary surfaces.
Running on a lithium battery means the snow blower is ultra quiet but still packs a punch when it comes to clearing the snow.
It makes a path 18 inches across and up to 8 inches deep and has the ability to discharge up to 495 pounds of snow a minute.
The snow is then discharged up to 20ft with the use of the directional chute that can rotate 180 degrees.
