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


Strengths: good in powdery snow, lightweight, easy to set up, quick to put a way. Throws the snow left, right, or any direction in between. Working with an extension cord can be a challenge when you are working on a larger driveway or walk. The unit is primarily plastic with small plastic wheels, a plastic impeller, the bottom scraper is plastic as is the housing and snow chute. Because of this the unit is very light and easy to work with but ... well its plastic. A good extension cord will prevent the cord from pulling out of the handle. Overall it works well on powdery snow but the unit is pricey for the construction. In particular, the wheels on the unit are plastic, small, and flimsy. I don't know how this would work with wet slushy snow, and harder packed snow was a problem and likely accelerates wear on the plastic impeller blade. It was easy to assemble and it does store easily but I would consider a more durable snow blower before opting to buy this particular product if you have to deal with frequent snow.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Product worked great for a couple of days, then the main drive belt snapped (i was blowing 3-4 inch snow) So called there customer service and was told to take it to the closest dealer so they could check if it was manufacture defect or user error. I really didnt want to haul the thing down there so i called to just order a belt ($12) which i would fit myself. Basically the belts are were on back order and have been for some time. 3 Week lead team for a Belt, Really this should be a common part thats likely to need to be replaced at some point. Wanted to give this a good review as the unit worked very well at first but let down by terrible customer service.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Our Toro 1800 was purchased from Amazon.com in December '07 after accepting the fact that our 30 yr. old Toro gas snowblower had finally outlived its usefullness.

I wanted something that wasn't finicky and that I could easily operate (just plug it in and roll)and this baby fits the bill to a T!

I just moved 6+ inches of a medium-density Illinois snow off my approx. 3000SF driveway in 1 hr.! That time was unheard of with our former machine. The 1800 had plenty of power to tackle snow as tall as the squirrel cage and even handled the plow "wall" effortlessly.

It stores easily and is ready for the next storm...and so am I. No longer are snowstorms a thing of dread when clearing our challenging site, which consists of an uphill drive with a curve thrown in for fun.

The price was a lot more reasonable than I thought possible to replace our old heavy, tempermental machine and I wish I had purchased this model years ago.

Toro, you did a great job on this and I appreciate the ease and comfortable operation. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
