Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025

I loved the Toro snow blower all last year when we had 6 inches or so of fluffy snow. Today we got 10 inches of dense wet snow. The Toro did great for the first 20 minutes, then began sounding like there was a twig stuck in the machine. I checked. No twig. Two minutes later it gave out. The engine still worked, but the internal gears, which must be plastic, were stripped. It would catch, then stop half way around. Bummer. Now I'll either have to try to have my son-in-law repair it or buy a new machine.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
