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

We bought this last week. Since we have our drive way plowed by a landscape company we wanted to use the TORO 1800 to clear our relatively short front walkway. Although the box was in good condition and there appeared to be no exterior damage to the item, it has not worked since it arrived. The belt comes off the large pulley almost as soon as the machine is engaged, and then then rotor does not rotate. We spent quite a lot of time opening up the plate in order to place the belt on the pulley again. Each time the same thing happens, and the belt slips off. Not surprising because the large pulley is very cheap looking and is not a well made part. When we called TORO we were told they have a "No return, No replacement policy." Therefore we have to drop it off 15 miles away to be repaired. Very time consuming, inconvenient, and it is unclear if it will be repaired so that we can use it.

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

I just recently returned a Wal-Mart,'Snow Joe', electric snow thrower, due to what looked like poor quality to me. Then I decided to pay $60.00 more and order a good 'Toro 1800 Power Curve' snow thrower, also electric. The Snow Joe had 13 amps and The Toro only 12 - but I figured that Toro's quality would be worth the extra cost. After owning some Toros in the past, I believed that Toro was a quality product. NOT ANY MORE!!! They are, apparently, joining America's Corporate sell-out by out-sourcing their manufacturing somewhere (China, Taiwan?) even WORSE THAN WAL-MART. (Just a guess...due to the HORRIBLE QUALITY of this Toro snow thrower!!) Wal-Mart's Snow joe was MUCH BETTER MADE, STRONGER, AND WITH BIGGER, BETTER TIRES!! I now wish I had never returned it, paying EXTRA for an INFERIOR TORO!! This Toro 1800 Power Curve ("Power" - HA!) HAS WORSE "TIRES" THAN MANY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN'S TOYS!!!! And they are so small that it's hard to even push the machine on packed snow or already cleaned surfaces!! The Snow Joe's tires were probably 8", the Toro's maybe 4"! Guessing how big is not my forte' but these Toro tires are TINY in comparison!! I desperately need this piece of junk, as we here in North Idaho are facing another record breaking snow storm again this weekend. So, I will give it a try - but after trying it already on my sidewalk, I don't think I'll be keeping it!! I'm strongly feeling like I should just order another Snow Joe. It was truly so much better than this flimsy, guttless, worthless "Toro". In my opinion, this company no longer exists for me. If I want to buy cheap, low quality products, I'll keep purchasing from Wal-Mart! I guess you can tell how very disappointed I am in Toro! I'm old enough, (I have an 18 year old grandson) to remember how great Toro products USED TO BE. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. We Americans have sadly become a "throw away society". We have actually become used to shoddy workmanship and products we have to purchase again and again!! (Although, how can Toro even claim to be good Americans when they so obviously give their jobs to some other country that pays starvation wages... just my opinion, of course...) There are MANY things I appreciate about modern America, but these low quality products - not so much!! SHAME ON YOU TORO!!!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
