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 metal for use shoveling what is basically frozen water. Having to replace the whole shovel because there is no replacement part seems "unfair."

Smart Design That Really Reduces the Strain!
Great shovel! Arrived well-packaged with all parts included. Easy to assemble in just a few minutes, and the manual was clear and helpful. The spring-assisted handle really makes a difference — much less strain on my back and easy to lift heavy snow. Lightweight, sturdy, and works exactly as described. Highly recommend!

Replacement parts are needed!
This was our favorite shovel until we had back to back snow storms and after shoveling less than 10 times with it since we bought it the shovel broke. We came to buy a replacement for the handle and you don’t sell one. That is disheartening when you consider snow shovels usually last seasons not days.

Easy on the back!
Just got to use mine today. I'm 71 years old and traditional shovels took there toll on my back.. you don't have to bend over as much with this shovel. Still got to do the work, but I appreciate all the help I can get.

Not a happy customer!
Mine broke in less than a year. Even with pictures, proof of purchase. They did not replace it! I loved the shovel. I'm a Phsical Therapist and recommended this shovel to many clients and neighbors. So disappointed with Snow Joe.

Snow shovel aluminum strip
Missing part, the aluminum strip was miss and can't complete the assembly of the shovel, without that it will deteriorate fast.

Really DOES SAVE my back!
I HONESTLY really LOVE my Snow Joe shovel with its extra handle, and it REALLY DOES "save my back" (as I'm 76 years old). The one THING that I wish they would improve upon is the fact that the aluminum wear strip (cutting blade) seems to GRAB or STICK when I reach the concrete level of my driveway. I know it would cost more, but my suspicion is that a STAINLESS STEEL wear strip wouldn't do this, and I personally would be willing to PAY MORE for one with that.
