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


I live in Freehold, New Jersey and we just got hit with an uncharactistically strong snow storm for this area. (14-18 inches). I had just received my Toro Power Curve and used it for the first time.

Actually, the Power Curve is not built to handle this much snow but it did and did it well. The amount of snow that it throws and the speed that it throw it is incredible. It cleans right down to the asphault and tosses the snow over 20 feet.

In snow this deep I had to go slow and let it "digest" the snow in manageable batches. I would push the snowblower into a wall of snow taller than the machine itself, I would then let it toss some of the snow and after it did that I would pull it back to let the remaining snow collapse into a smaller pile. Then I would simply push the snowblower back into that pile and just keep repeating the process. Working that way I could not only get rid of accumulated snow and drifts but I could also dig out the mountains of snow left at the base of my driveway by the town snow plows. Truly amazing.

The only thing that I did not like about it is the set up. Putting the handles on the machine is difficult and user unfriendly due to poor design. You have to thread metal bolts through several holes that do not line up easily. If you buy this product you'll see what I mean. It can be done but it takes time and patience. Once that is finished however this is one heck of a machine. It is easy to use and it performs impressively. It is perfect for people living in states like Jersey where you need a snowblower but not one of those huge gas powered monsters.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
