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

I decided to jump on this at an awesome price after reading other reviews. I had a Toro gas snowblower on its last legs that was nothing short of annoying to use (spent most of the winter shoveling instead). Fortunately I only was able to use it once this winter, but I have to say I was impressed. We got a good 5-6 inches of snow and this cut right through it. This throws the snow as far as the gas blower it replaced and is much easier to maneuver with its light weight. Even with my low back in quite a bit of pain, it was not too difficult to use. Keeping the cord out of the way was easy enough, also.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. This thing never stalled on me. I made it through without swearing and did not stink like exhaust when I was done!

The cons:
1) Putting the chute on the blower: The nut supplied was the type with a plastic retaining ring built in (can't remember their proper name). The chute is plastic and therefore did not hold the carriage bolt securely when tightening the supplied nut, stripping the plastic.

2) The wheels: Although I had no problem with them so far, the wheels are like something from a child's toy truck.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
