Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Snow Joe 24V-X2-SB18 iON+ and check everything that makes this portable 48-Volt 18-Inch cordless snow blower one of the best around.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the snow blower’s design, the entire unit measures exactly 40 inches long by 19 inches wide by 40 inches tall, weighing a slightly hefty 37.5 pounds (17 kg) when accounting for its two (x2) 24-Volt / 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries already installed. Still, the snow blower’s somewhat bulky weight ensures that the entire build has some extra durability to it.
A set of two ultra-durable hard-rubberized wheels allow users to move the snow blower around with ease.
Furthermore, the snow blower also comes equipped with a soft-rubber handlebar that makes it comfortable for users to push and maneuver the blower around with ease.
As mentioned earlier, this portable 48-Volt 18-Inch cordless snow blower comes equipped with a built-in, heavy-duty, rubber-tipped steel blade auger that allows the snow blower to can clear an 18-inch wide by 10-inch deep path in one single go.
The snow blower’s main piece – which is what powers up the unit – is obviously its powerful 1200-Watt Brushless Motor, which can plow through up to 10.5 tons of snow per charge (meaning up to 700 lbs per minute), all while the blower’s integrated scraper bar at its base clears right to the ground without ever damaging the unit’s deck (and the same goes for both your driveway and outside pavement).
At the front of the snow blower, users can also find its Adjustable Chute Crank, which can be used to rotate the snow blower’s snow-chute up to 180º, which allows users to have the blower throwing snow up to 20 ft. away from them in any direction they wish to do so.
Lastly, right under the blower’s Adjustable Chute Crank, there’s also a 2W LED Headlight that can be used while operating the snow blower during pitch dark nights to conveniently light up your home’s entrance / yard for a safer nighttime snow clearing experience.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
In terms of the snow blower’s interface, the integrated control panel simply consists of just two buttons.
The blower’s main power button is located right next to its battery housing slots.
Then, the blower’s secondary On/Off button (which needs the main button to be set to On) is located close to the blower’s handlebar.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
As this is indeed a 48-Volt 18-Inch cordless snow blower, what makes the unit portable is Snow Joe’s exclusive iON+ 24-Volt lithium-ion battery system, which is what powers up the entire device.
The snow blower comes together with two included powerful and reliable 24-Volt / 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries that can ultimately offer users up to 30 minutes of rechargeable runtime, with zero carbon emissions for cleaner air. The combination of these two (x2) 24V batteries are what makes this snow blower a 48V Snow Blower model.
Additionally, the snow blower also comes together with its proprietary Dual Battery Charger included, which can be used to easily and conveniently recharge the unit’s two 24V batteries.
