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

I've owned one of these for 10 years. So far I've had to replace the switch in the handle and the blade. Both of these I replaced myself without a problem. Otherwise the machine has been perfect. I live in northern Vermont and have a 100 foot driveway so the machine gets a fair amount of use. I also use it to clear paths to the front door, woodpile and compost pile.

I doesn't have the strength to handle frozen slush but anthing else it handles just fine. Deep snow, more than a foot, may require that you lift the machine up to shave off a layer before you can clear down to the ground. Fortunately, it's light enough to do this with. I even use it to clear the snow thrown up by the plow at the end of the driveway. In last week's 30 inch snowfall it worked fine although it took multiple passes.

Getting a flexible-when-cold, heavy gauge (rated for 12 Amps) extension cord for this would be a good idea. Clearing wet snow or slush from around the chute after you use it helps prevent feeze-up.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
