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


I received my Toro on a day where we got at least a foot of snow. The wind made huge drifts in spots. Putting it together was not a big problem but the lock nuts were slightly difficult for me to tighten by hand. I used 2 pairs of pliers...

I have never used a snow blower before. They are so heavy and require gas and oil--I'm pretty small and the thought of trying to use a monster like that--I knew it wasn't for me--not to mention the cost.

...Anyway, this machine is GREAT!! I don't usually leave feedback for things but I was so surprised at how it worked, I just had to. Upon first glance, you start wondering if it will work at all--It is very light--you look at the insides and again wonder how it will work. I still don't know how, but it does. It cut through 18" - 2' in some cases--and threw the snow far. The pictures from customers are very accurate. Once you get the hang of the cord it's a breeze.

This unit is just perfect for me because I have a raised patio. No problem for the toro. It's so light, I just picked it up with no problem and did the upper patio.

I have to add that I have a dog. I even did an area in the grass because the snow was so high on his legs. You just push it a little harder for the deeper stuff.

Oh yeah, one more thing...If you've never used a snow thrower/blower be careful not to aim the chute into the wind or you will have a cold face full of snow--it only takes once to learn that one.

It was well worth the money!! I highly recommend it.

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


I live in Buffalo, NY and we get our share of snow. I have a small gas powered snow thrower but I didn't want to deal with mixing and the gasoline/exhaust smell in my cloths afterwards. So I decided to give this electric thrower a try. I just received this on Thursday and had snow the following day. We had about 6 inches with drifts over 10 inches. This thing worked really well. It even cut through some frozen ice which were left over from previous snow storms. Awesome!
My only complaint is the discharge chute constantly lifted up from the force of the snow. But I'll try to tighten the bolt some more later. It's a carriage bolt but the square housing to keep the bolt in place is made of plastic. Poorly designed as it will strip easily but not a big deal.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
