Responding to the need for an easy-to-use machine that could tackle heavier snowfall on mid-sized driveways and walkways, they developed the kink-free hose which delivers the power of a gas machine with the convenience of an electric unit. Driven by a powerful14.5-amp motor, the hose moves up to 650 lbs of snow per minute. Its durable steel auger with 2 rubber blades cuts a path 18 inches wide by 8 inches deep with each pass. In addition to its exceptional plowing capacity, it features an adjustable discharge chute that rotates a complete 180º to provide full control over the direction of the snow stream. The chute deflector can also be adjusted to control the height of the snow stream. Easy-glide all-terrain wheels make the Snow Joe Ultra easy to turn and maneuver with 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 hose is effortless to start and maintain. No gas, oil, or tune-ups are necessary. The unit is ETL-approved. For heavier snowfall on mid-sized driveways and walkways, the hose is your total snow solution this winter. Certified Refurbished units carry a 90-day warranty.
