After Utah’s historically wet and snowy winter last year that literally ended the state’s drought, this winter has so far been relatively dry. Finally, snow had arrived (it snowed literally all weekend with some rain on Sunday), and it was finally time to see how the Snow Joe 24V-X2-SB22 48-Volt MAX IONMAX Cordless Single-Stage Snow Blower Kit would fare against Utah’s heavy winter storms.
Before I got started, I referred to this Snow Joe as a snow “blower” because it is in the title of the product. But the reality is, it’s actually a snow “thrower.” You can read our piece for a full, in-depth breakdown on snow blowers vs snow throwers, which is helpful if you’re unsure which one is right for you, but here’s the TL;DR version – snow throwers are less powerful and don’t throw snow as far out of the chute. For more traditional models, head to our best snow blower guide.
