An perfect choice for smaller areas like steps, patios, and decks covered together with light snow, the Snow Fox features a three-position shoot control this lets for precise snow positioning.

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

Lightweight Design for Simple 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 do the blower incredibly simple to maneuver. There's in addition an ergonomic double handle for utilizing the Snow Fox in compact areas and on steps, and a wire minder this minimizes tangles.

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

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Customer service not great   2010-03-03
By P. Brennan
I bought this for my 75 year old broter in law to help him clear his small driveway. It seems to work okay but it came with a key in the keyhole that we can't seem to remove. I e-mailed the company and they said that sometimes it's a little tight and to just pull on it. We tried and tried but couldn't remove it. I e-mailed again and they said again that sometimes its tight. Well it's not just "tight" it's welded in there. It works so we're not going to the trouble and expense of returning it. We don't want to break the key so we just leave it in there. Luckily there are no small children around. The machine seems to work okay - like others have said it shoots snow better when it's straight ahead. For the small area that he has, it's great.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  The little shovel that can!   2010-02-27
By L. Burge (St. Clairsville, Ohio USA)
I purchased one of these shovels and was a bit skeptical when it arrived. We have had a ton of snow this year and I have a lot to be cleared between walkways and my driveway. My driveway itself is about 100 feet long. I can fire this little shovel up and clear the driveway, walkways, and even some paths for my dog to go potty in the yard in about an hour, and that's counting taking breaks! I am very pleased with the performance of this shovel. It's easy to push and does the job I wanted it to do. It was not a bad investment at all. Bring on the snow!

Bought this and a snow shovel after blizzard(s) dumped over 2' of snow in the DC area. One bad winter woudn't justify a $400+ heavy-duty snowblower. Got this to assist with cleanup and use in future winters. It arrived in a much smaller box than I expected. The handle and the blower are separate items; putting them together is a snap. You just screw them together. Instructions are clear and operation is very simple. It's very light and small, making it easy to move around.

It works exactly as you'd expect. Just point and shoot. Snow is flung much further when the vanes are pointed straight ahead than when they are pointed to the sides. It goes through dense, packed snow easily. Operated for 10-20 minutes at a time without overheating or losing efficiency. It was so light that I could literally put it on top of 2'-4' of snow, move it back and forth and essentially "grind" the snow down. Within a few passes,the 2'-4' snow was gone and clear pavement was visible. Smaller stuff a few inches high was dispatched very quickly. The small size allows it to get into tight spots.

That said, it is NOT a heavy-duty snowblower. It is not going to clear out vast amounts of snow quickly and easily. But it doesn't claim to be any such thing. If you're looking for a heavy-duty snowblower this isn't it. If you're looking for something to clear out a few inches or to use at intervals during a storm to pevent huge buildups, it'll get the job done. Just make sure you get a long, thick power cord.

Overall, I give it 5 stars for doing exactly what it said it would at a moderate (by snowblower standards) price.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Very Impressive Machine   2010-02-18
By Charlie Cogar (Chantilly, VA, US)
Washington, DC this winter has had the highest snowfall since snowfall records began in 1884. After the first storm on 12/18/09, and reading all the reviews, I bought the Yard Machine through Amazon.com. Since 12/18 we have had two other significant snow falls, and I can't say enough about this little guy. It has saved my back. I live in a townhouse second from the end unit. With the Yard Machine I cleared my single car driveway and sidewalk plus two other townhomes in addition to a single family home with a 4 cars long driveway and sidewalk with snow as thick as 14" (with two swipes). I'm 52 years old, and after all that I energy to do more. It handles so easily, a twelve or thirteen year old child could use it. I can't understand why local hardware stores don't carry them in stock. No gas or oil to mess with. You just need an long extension cord. I recommended it to all my neighbors, coworkers, and friends.
Customer rating is 3 of 5  Good for light snow   2010-02-14
By David Isaac
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.
