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


I love my new Toro 1800. It's small enough (I can easily lift it and carry it anywhere I want, including to the basement for storage), it's "greener" than gas-powered snow throwers, and it's cheaper.

You can't expect it to clear *any* amount of snow - but in quite snowy December 2008 here in Chicago, I could use it on 10" of snow. I could not easily use it at the curb though, where village plows put up a lot of heavier snow from the street - used shovel there. If you want to clear all snow with a thrower (i.e., without using a shovel), this Toro might not be for you.

Make sure you can reach all parts of your driveway with 100ft power cord attached to unloaded power outlet (mine is in the garage). Manual says 100ft or 150ft cords would do though.

Also, they have a terrible design of the bolt hole on the right part of the handle, where face plate is attached. You need to insert the bolt through the hole and go around a thick power cord that is inside that tube. It may be tough. Maybe try not to leave it unassembled in the cold for a long time - so that power cord inside that tube remains at least somewhat flexible.

But if you are looking for a complement to your shovel (not a replacement), I would recommend it.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas to do the stairs and walkways to our house. He likes it a lot and says it works great and is easy to use. It didn't take him long to assemble it. The only thing he wasn't happy with is that it didn't come with a retractable cord, which has to be bought separately. It would have been better if it were "ready to use" (after assembly) right out of the box, which would mean you could plug it in and use it without having to go buy a cord. Fortunately, we had a cord on hand; however, he will more than likely buy the longer one. Please note that he rated it a 4 out of 5 stars only because it didn't come with a cord. He wanted to rate it a 4-1/2 but you can't do that. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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


My first shipment arrived without the needed nuts and bolts to put the snow blower together. However, to Amazon's credit, they send me another complete snow blower which arrived 2 days later, and UPS picked up the old one -- GREAT service!!

The snow blower is functioning well - it is small, but that's why I bought it and it does its job very well. Besides the little training wheels it comes with - it is doing an A+ job and I can revommend it.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
