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

We've had this Toro electric almost two winters now. It is used on a 75X50 foot driveway and sidewalks. It's smooth and blows snow twice as far as our 5hp gas Toro. It goes through snow as high as it's opening and will go through wet snow of about 4-5 inches. The cord can be a pain, but, not the pain of gassing up, oiling and starting a vibrating gas model. Sure it's made of plasic, very tough plastic. Like your car trim or most of every thing else you own. If you wait till the end of winter, you may find it at a nice sale price.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Hey,

Two things to remember- it's electric and it has limitations due to size. Be patient and persistent and this product will work. I just cleared snow that was over 18 inches deep from my large deck and cleared a 200 square foot area on my lawn out back for my pet to do her business. It worked well.

However, I did have one problem at first. The belt kept slipping off. Very frustrating! I was ready to return it when I tried one more thing. I turned the spring that connects to the large belt tensioner over and reattached it "upside down." It worked! Evidently, the factory assembled the product with the spring upside down and I ended up turning it right side up for the proper amount of tension to keep the belt on.

Another tip. Don't disconnect the spring to the large belt just to get the large belt on and off. Just hold the belt tensioner where it releases tension on the belt. It's a pain getting the spring on and off otherwise.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I really enjoy this snow thrower. We have an electric lawn mower due to the size of our lawn (and my mechanical ability). Our driveway is only slightly longer and I was still wanted to avoid the gas, oil, and maintenance of a gas thrower. I tried the snow thrower analysis tool on Toro's site and it said the electric would not be suitable for my needs. I figured I would try it anyway and I'm glad I did!

It cuts right through fluffy snow, even over a foot high and will cut into heavy snow up to a foot high in small increments. It has it's limitations but it's about half the price of a comparable gas that you have to pull-start. It pulls to the left a little when the snow gets thick as there is only 1 drive belt on the left side so that's where the most torque is. It's light enough to lift up onto the deck and clear that as well.

All in all I'd say this is a great thrower for someone who has limited storage, mechanical ability, or just doesn't want to deal with the hassle that is gas.

I fully recommend this thrower to save you money, and save your back.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I have a large Craftsman 10hp, 2 stage gas snow blower for our very long driveway & decided to get this for the large wooden deck and other areas close in around the house. I was suprised at how much power this electric unit provides and at the same time how light it is. I think it's actually lighter than our vacuum cleaner. I have so far used it for small to medium snowfalls, that is less than 8" and it works very well. I have no doubt it will work just fine when the big one hits. The only drawback (minor) is having to manage the electric cord. I'm now looking to see if there's some sort of reel at a reasonable cost to manage the cord.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
