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

I was a little leary buying an electric snowblower for snow here in Minnesota, but I have been impressed. We have had many days this years with 3"-8" of snow. The blower has no problems cutting through this and throwing it 15-30ft (depending on how wet the snow is). In addition I didn't have to worry about buying gas, worrying about starting or any kind of tune-up as I would with a gas snowblower.

The Good Points:
-Very powerful blower, throws snow 15-30ft without hesitation.
-Completed a 3-car driveway in 20 minutes.
-No gas, starting or tune-ups required. Plug in and go.
-Backed by a 2 year warranty by Toro- who does support most problems.
-Small enough to store away in my garage without its own stall.
-Not very heavy, maybe 30lbs at most if you need to move it.

Bad Points:
-The cord is an issue, and is kind of a pain to get used to. It's like a vacuum, you have to keep adjusting the cord around.
-The blower cannot handle any ice, I tried it on a patch of frozen snow and it knocked the belt loose, but after I fixed it ran like a champ again.
- The wheels are tiny and you cannot control them very well when you hit some deep snow.
- Price seemed a bit high for an electric thrower, but you get a good name Toro.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good snow thrower in any climate. We get alot of snow in Minnesota and the blower has done great so far. I would recommend a good low-temp rated cord. I got mine at Menard's for $25 and it has held up very well. Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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

We received 6-8" of snow last night. I didn't measure my drive but it was a good amount. This blower ate right through it and kept on going. I made the mistake of flinging large amounts of the snow on areas that I needed to blow (up to about a foot) and that slowed the the blower down a bit but it did get through it. I have a 3 car drive way and this blower worked great, did the entire thing plus the sidewalks. The only annoying part is having to deal with the cord, but such is life with most electric power items and I don't have to buy gas, oil or do any sort of mixing/maintenance associated with a gas blower.

As long as you're getting less than 12" of snow at a time I'd highly recommend this blower to you. Otherwise you either have to blow more often or you should get a larger blower.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
