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


When I opened the box, my first impression was, I had made a mistake ordering the electric Toro. I thought it should have been built heavier. After assembling the unit, with only four bolts, I put it to the test on 8-10" of snow left on the deck and patio. I was amazed, it cut through the 3 day old snow with ease even though it had settled and a crust had formed, it threw the snow 25-30 feet.

On 5-6" of new snow this morning it worked very well. It didn't throw the snow as far since the snow was wet on the bottom. The Toro removed the snow off the concrete better than a shovel. It only took about 10 minutes to do what usually takes me an hour using a shovel. I was done and in the house before the neighbors had their gas powered units started, of course they took time to watch this electric unit in action.

I had none of the problems with the power cord that I had anticipated, but I would suggest a cord that remains flexible when exposed to low temperatures. The unit is very easy to handle, it throws the snow very well. Keeping the wheels on the ground makes it even easier. I am impressed, no gas, no oil, not much noise. I can use this at night without disturbing anyone's sleep, except my own.

December 16: this unit has performed well for three snowfalls, 8", 5", and 10". I used it to clear the gutter, it did the job, threw the snow and slush into the yard, but I would not do this ahead of clearing the drive and walks because as soon as I stopped for a minute, the slush started freezing in the chute and auger housing, which degraged performance until I removed it by hand. If it freezes too hard, thawing may be necessary.

Today, I ordered a Toro 1800 for my mother for Christmas.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
