On January 11/23 I purchased SNO JOE BLOWER from Walmart Canada, I have just received my SECOND replacement (that's 3 total) in the 2 months I've started. The first 2 machines did not work 10 minutes into the initial start. They went 5 feet and then just stopped. BOTH machines did this EXACT same thing. I have chatted several times with SNOJOE, and each time they have been VERY helpful with this problem. I have sent the first 2 back to be replaced, and just received the second REPLACEMENT yesterday. All our snow has melted, so not really had a chance to give it a "proper" test, but did manage to find a small patch of snow, and it seemed to be working as expected this time. I contacted SNOJOE again and mentioned this to them, but there won't be really any chance to give it a full tryout until NOVEMBER of this year when the first snowfall starts to arrive. The next question in this survey is "how likely is it that I would recommend this product" That's a hard question to answer because I really haven't had a proper chance to give it a full test. If everything goes according to plan, it should be very easy to recommend, but at this time, it's hard to say. Out of 10, I would have to give it a 4, and that's pretty much due to the excellent CHAT SCREEN help that I've received, ESPECIALLY from DENNIS CLARIN, he was a great help in solving the return of the previous 2 blowers
