Pros
- •Performs well clearing about 4 inches of fresh, light snow quickly and efficiently.
- •Battery life is decent, allowing extended use and rapid recharge with the included quick charger.
- •Lightweight and easy to handle, making it especially suitable for seniors or those wanting to avoid bulky snowblowers.
- •Minimal assembly required; handle attachment is straightforward and battery attaches with ease.
- •Compact size and design make it easy to store and maneuver in tight spaces like decks, sidewalks, and stoops.

- •Significantly easier to use and maneuver compared to traditional gas or corded snowblowers.
- •Highly rated for function and family satisfaction for light snow removal tasks.
Cons
- •Narrow 1nch blade width demands multiple passes, making snow removal slower compared to wider models.
- •Only throws snow forward, which can cause snow to blow back onto the user, especially if working into the wind.
- •Struggles with old, packed snow, ice, or heavy, wet snow; more of an electric shovel than a full snowblower replacement.
- •Battery life may be insufficient for larger driveways, often requiring a second battery for continuous work.
- •Assembly can be tricky due to an overly long power cord inside the unit that must be routed.
- •Some users find the device heavy or cumbersome despite its lightweight design compared to snowblowers.
- •Requires bending or stooping at times, which might be uncomfortable for shorter users trying to reach handles.
- •Best suited for small areas; not ideal for large driveways or heavy snowfall conditions.
Bottom Line
The Snow Joe 24V-SS11-XR is *a great cordless snow shovel for light, quick snow clearing on small sidewalks, decks, and pet pathways*. It’s lightweight, easy to charge, and simple to handle, which makes winter snow removal less of a chore—especially if heavy snow isn’t an issue in your area. However, if you frequently deal with heavy, wet, or packed snow or need to clear large driveways, this model may feel slow and underpowered, and you might want to consider adding a second battery or exploring more robust snow removal options.
