Tools and Hardware Reviews of Yard Machines 31B-040-800 Snow Fox 12.5-Inch 8.5 Amp Electric Snow Thrower

Customer Review: Good for light snow
Summary: 3 Stars

Ordered this right before our big snowstorm in Maryland/DC, before I knew how big it was going to be. It was a real help, but clearly overwhelmed by our 30+ inches of snow, even though I never let more than 6"-10" accumulate. I'd say it should work well as advertised with up to 6" of snow per storm, and it can handle more by taking two or three passes. The biggest issue is that it can only throw left or right over a 15" or so border and only for a few feet, so once you have cut a path and the snow has built up on the sides, it won't throw the snow over the side. It really does throw 20' or so straight ahead (at a much higher angle), so I found myself cutting in a herringbone pattern. I think this will work fine for our normal light snows and I'm happy with how little space it takes to store it, but I wish I had spent $100 more and gotten the SnowJoe 622 that can throw over a higher bank. If you get regular snows of 12+ inches, you'll need a bigger machine. If you want to help out your neighbors, get a gas powered one so you're not constrained by a cord. As others mentioned, cord management is a bit of a hassel in general.

Perfect for Clearing Small Areas
Designed to make it easier and safer to walk on snowy surfaces--without the back-breaking work of shoveling--the Snow Fox creates a 12.5-inch-wide path, has an intake height of six inches, and throws snow up to 25 feet. An ideal choice for smaller areas like steps, patios, and decks covered with light snow, the Snow Fox features a three-position shoot control that allows for precise snow placement.

Thanks to the Snow Fox's powerful 8.5-amp electric engine that has 110-volt/1,100-watt power, you won't have to waste time and energy dealing with the mess and hassle of gas or oil. And to ensure quick and safe cold-weather starts, the motor is double insulated.

Lightweight Design for Easy Handling
At just 20 pounds, the Snow Fox is comfortable to handle and hold. Durable molded plastic housing stands up to wear and tear, and four sturdy plastic five-inch wheels make the blower incredibly easy to maneuver. There's also an ergonomic double handle for using the Snow Fox in compact areas and on steps, and a cord minder that minimizes tangles.

For further convenience, this snow blower comes fully assembled and is backed by a two-year limited warranty.
