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


I've had my 1800 for two seasons. And it is The Bomb! In Chicagoland,we get a fair amount of snow, most recently, a 7-inch fall. The 1800 handled it with ease, ejecting the snow 30- to 40 feet away. With a little patience, it will munch its way through the foot-deep berm deposited across my driveway by the city plow. Deeper falls might require multiple passes. Not sure about this. Still, it works equally well on my driveway, sidewalk, a lumpy flagstone walkway and even across bare ground. Need to move it over a curb or something? Just pick it up by its handle - it's easily portable.

So why four stars? First of all, it's not happy in really wet snow or slush. But is any snow blower? Second, the "string" attached, that is, the electrical cord. It saves you the hassle of gas or gas/oil, cold weather starting and so on. But you have to manage the cord, every minute, every move. This is okay with me. I'm used to it.

Bottom line, if you feel that the cord is a small price to pay to avoid non-starts and hands that smell like gasoline, and you aren't clearing snow drifts in the high Sierras, the 1800 is an excellent choice.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
