Comparing Snow Joe Ultra SJ621 versus SJ620 Electric Snow Thrower, What's the Difference?

The Snow Joe Ultra SJ621 and SJ620 Electric Snow Throwers are Ideal for clearing heavier snowfall quickly and easily from medium sized driveways and walkways.

Both the Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 Electric Snow Throwers offer instant push-button start-up and feature a powerful 13.5 amp motor and 4-blade steel auger to power through snowfalls, moving up to 650 lbs of snow per minute. You can clear an area up to 2450 square feet in just 1 hour!
     
The Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 Snow Throwers both offer an 18” wide snow clearing path with a depth of 10” in a single pass.  They both feature a scraper blade at the base of the machine to clear down to the path without damaging the deck or pathway.

Both the Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 Snow Throwers allow you total control of the snow output with their 180 degree adjustable rotating chute (adjusts the direction of the snow output) and adjustable chute deflector (adjusts the height of the snow output), giving a maximum snow throwing distance of up to 20 ft.

The main difference between these two snow throwers is that the Snow Joe SJ621 comes with a 20 watt halogen headlight which enables you to safety work in low light, which the SJ620 does not have.  As you would expect, there’s a slight price difference between the two snow throwers for this additional feature.

Both the Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 are easy to handle and control.  These snow throwers offer a single forward speed and feature compact easy-glide pivot wheels for easy maneuvering and turning.  Both machines also feature ergonomic grips for improved operator comfort.

The Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 Snow Throwers are both ETL approved and are backed by the manufacturer’s full 2-year warranty.

Summary:

With their powerful motor and auger system, the Snow Joe SJ621 and SJ620 deliver the power of a gas snow thrower but with the convenience of a corded electric machine.  With an electric snow thrower you never have to worry about running out of gas, mixing gas/oil or batteries dying on you plus they require little maintenance compared to gas machines.

Snow Joe is a dependable brand you know you can rely on.  The SJ621 and SJ620 snow throwers are surprisingly powerful yet easy to handle and take the effort out of the traditional back-breaking job of snow shovelling!

For the relatively little price difference, it’s worth paying the extra for the very effective halogen headlight on the Snow Joe SJ621, giving you the option of safe snow clearing when the light fades particularly given the short winter daylight hours we get!



N.B.  Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of snow thrower machines.
