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

This snow thrower works great on walks. I have used it in blizzard condtions and it will throw snow up to 30'. While the manufacturer says it can move snow up to a depth of 10", I found that can handle deeper accumulations as long as you advance slowly. It won't throw ice and it won't throw slush without clogging (but neither does my two stage gasoline snow thrower). I recommend that you purchase cold weather extension cords as the typical plastic outdoor cords get stiff in cold weather, making it hard to take up the cord when you are finished). Use an outlet protected by a GFCI, please, since you are standing in and surrounded by frozen water while you are using it.

This snow thrower is light weight so it is easy to carry. You can lift it up stairs, so it can be used to clean your porch or deck or your pathway with steps. It is easy to start (a safety key is provided which prevents the cord from being connected unless the key is inserted and turned ... I recommend that you attach the key to a bright colored coiled keychain, so you don't lose the small key in the snow). No gas is need, no oil, no tuneups, no sparkplug..just plug in and go. The snowthrower is not self propelled, but the machine is easy to move and there is some self movement due to the turning blades.

The discharge chute can be adjusted by turning the crank from the operators position, so the snow can be properly directed.

Assembly is relatively easy (about 15 minutes)...you must connect the two parts of the handle together, attach the crank and the cross bar and secure with two nuts and bolts. Toro thoughfully used different sizes for the hex head bolts and the nuts, so they could be tightened with one socket set. You also have to attach the top of the chute to the bottom of the chute with carriage bolts and nuts.

If you only need to clear walks (or even a small driveway) this snow thrower is for you.

Lightweight, effective, easy to use.

Living, as I do, in Northern Massachusetts, just south of New Hampshire and in the Merrimack Valley, we expect more than just a little snow in the winter.
About 10 years ago I bought my first Toro 1800 and after all these years of dedicated effort to keep my driveway and walkways clear it finally gave up fight. Mind you now, the unit was still capable of throwing that snow, but various pieces of the superstructure finally failed due to rust and hard use.
If you generally need to deal with less than 2 feet of snow at at time and don't want to deal with gasoline and starting an engine in the cold, and don't mind trailing an extension cord (don't forget the GFCI plugs) this could be just the tool for you.

To put it in context, I use this to clear a 50 foot long 12 foot wide driveway, and about 150 feet of walkway, an except for block of ice the plows leave at the end of your driveway, it does the trick.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
