Worx (18") 13-Amp Electric Snow Blower

We've been hit with late snow in Ohio and I did not want to pay $500+ for a gas powered snow blower. We bought a WORX unit and my wife and I are very impressed. We've had about 14" of snow in the last 10 days and we've used the snow blower everyday. It is outstanding.

I will be buying a WORX trimmer this spring!

I was very suspicious about an electric snow blower being any good. This thing cut right through the snow like nobody's business. I can't tell you how impressed I am.

I don't stink like gas, I don't need to run and get gas or mix it with oil. It is way less expensive than the gas powered ones.

I bought this snow blower in December 2012 in the anticipation of another bad winter. Well that didn't happen so it sat in the garage all year. Finally snowed yesterday - a very wet snow of about 2" and it was 34 degrees outside.

After two swipes of the driveway the chute was completely clogged, so I had to finish the job with a shovel. Another 2" fell last night. It was 25 degrees outside. I sprayed WD40 into the chute and had no problems with it clogging up. However, the snow would blow no more that 7-8'' and snow was also being dumped right on top of the housing at the bottom of the chute. I really want to like this machine, but right now I don't.

This is actually the first decent test I've been able to put the Worx through since it was delivered on the 7th of February. Slushy and heavy 3" overnight snowfall.

Absolutely no complaint regarding the equipment. My expectations were not great based on the size and pricing of this unit so it functioned much better than expected. Other reviews lamented the residual snow left on the surface...well, the little bit of slush left on my drive will be gone as soon as the sun pops out or the temps get above freezing. Not a problem at all. Unlike others with chute problems, these I did not encounter as I would push downward while turning the crank.

I did anticipate a problem I might have with the cord trailing behind, so, I gerry-rigged a roller on my open garage door so the cord was raised above ground level and easier to maneuver...worked like a charm.

I did forget to spray the unit with teflon or WD-40 so there was quite a bit of snow 'n slush stuck to the chute. Next time I'll remember to prepare more diligently. :)

Now, as I reflect on this little Worx machine, and a means to make it multi-tasking, I begin to picture putting a vacuum bag on the exhaust chute and some bristle brushes..........

For the third year now, this blower works like the first day I used it.
I have to clear my street half way in the middle, to the sidewalk and my huge 60' driveway and my neighbors driveway and it still works!!
Haha nothing stops it except slushy snow or really wet snow but it does that to any other kind too.

The Worx Snow Blower works great. We had 3" of snow and it had no problems. The only drawback I saw was the handle for someone 6'2" still had me bending over more than I would have liked. Just another adjustment to extend the handle 6" would be great, other than that great.

20 minutes from start to finish and that beats the over an hour the old way. Remember if there is a wind always blow the snow down wind. Ha Ha lesson learned the hard way.

And for what it does you can't beat the price.

I am a female senior citizen with a bad back in a bad knee and I had no trouble maneuvering this snow blower around. I love it. I am glad I bought it.

I have used the snow blower three times. The adjuster handle for the chute broke the first time. The plastic piece on the bottom does not go back on once the screws are removed. The screws and other metal parts are all rusting already and I have had the machine less than a month.

This WORX WG650 18" 13 amp snow blower is all anyone needs to clear a deck or side walk. The size is right, price is right, easy to store. If you clean it off and throw something over it when you finish blowing, you will have no problems. I leave mine out on the deck under a tarp all winter. I have to keep the deck and ramp clear for my wife's wheel chair. Great Buy!

Could not be happier, the blower did exactly what it had claimed it would do. Thanks

The Worx electric snowblower is a champ. Bought just in time for the midwest storm of 2011 - we got slammed with 1" of ice and 8-10" of snow. A week later, we got about 5-6" more. That was the test I put the Worx through. It is light-weight and easy to maneuver and handle. It is fairly loud, though. The plastic wheels didn't impress and skidded due to ice build-up more than rolled. But let's be honest, if I wasn't looking at the wheels, I wouldn't have known the difference.

The snowblower is not as powerful as gas powered ones, but has plenty of horses to clear the driveway and sidewalks. In the deep snow (10"), I had to make two passes. The snow is easily directed out of the chute and is thrown about 15'. Like most snow throwers I've seen, the Worx won't get the concrete brushed completely clean. There was typically a very thin layer of snow left behind. You can either scrape it with a shovel, or sprinkle some salt and have it melt and dry in the sun. To be clear, I am talking about clearing concrete that only has snow on it. When I used the Worx on ice covered by snow, it could only clear the snow off the ice, of course. The ice had to be either melted or chipped off.

Overall, the Worx is one of the best looking snow blowers out there, and is perfectly suited for moderately sized driveways and sidewalks. Because it is so light, it is easy to store in the garage and can be handled comfortably by somebody of small stature.
