Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Yard Machines 31C-040-800 Snow Fox 12.5-Inch 8.5 Amp Electric Snow Thrower
Tool Review: not for deep or heavy wet snow
Summary: 3 Stars
We just tried out the Snow Fox snow thrower, and while it might be good for normal fluffy snow under 4", 7" of super-heavy snow requires 3-4 passes, having to hold the unit up and 'shave' 2" per pass. In the end, it was faster than shoveling, but only a little.
Since it uses different muscles, once you get tired from shoveling, use the snow-thrower for a while to rest the other muscles.
The snow we tried it on was 7" - 8" of wet heavy snow. Where normal snow is 10" of snow to 1" rain equivalent, this studd was reported to be 3" of snow to 1" rain. Nasty stuff.
It DID move the snow, but simply couldn't handle the heavy wet stuff if more than 2-3" at a time. I was slightly worried about burning it up, so I rested it after every 5' x2 passes wide.
