 Worth the money Mar 10, 2010
Product performs as advertised. Removes snow quickly and throws it a fair distance. Great for walkways, decks and small driveways. Only negatives are throwing to the side isn't as effective as throwing forward and the entrance for the snow is made of rubber so it wears away quickly. Overall unit is effective at half price of gas powered units.
Customer service not great Mar 03, 2010
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.
The little shovel that can! Feb 27, 2010
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!

The little engine that could Feb 20, 2010
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.

Very Impressive Machine Feb 18, 2010
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.
