I would like to give the product developer a fist bump (or is the face slap in now adays, after the Super Bowl commercial about the same?). This product surpassed my expectations, even in 17 degree frozen slush. On regular snow this thing keeps up to my pace, which is a fast walk / slow run. It takes me about 10 minutes to clear my 110' x 8' driveway. The cord isn't a problem for me at all and I am thankful this unit isn't rechargeable and heavy.
Note on the slush - I didn't want to abuse this thing, so I started out using a heavy ice scraper (the forged metal kind). I gave up after it took me 15 minutes to clear a 10' x 2' patch. This slush was frozen - not quite ice, but definitely packed and stuck to the driveway. I thought I'd just use the Toro 1800 to clear away the surface snow. To my surprise and delite the unit actually pierced the frozen slush. It was tough going because I needed to supply the forward and downward force (this thing is only 25 lbs after all), but when I did my part, the Toro did its. For certain sections I had to use an angle and backward pass to wear down the slush, but the Toro did get through it.
The plow debris at the end of the driveway, a 12' deep frozen mix of slush and snow, was quickly worn down and blown away - I lifted the unit with its convenient front and rear handles to overcome the depth.
The Toro 1800 isn't too big to clear light snow, the kind that is if left in place tends to turn to ice, but isn't deep enough for neighbors to blow away with their big gas rigs. After a full day of sun I return home to a completely clear driveway, whereas my neighbors have a coating of ice over about half of their driveway.

I used it for the first time last night and found it to work very well and I definitely recommend it, especially for situations where you don't want to store a massive gas blower for just one or two storms a year. The other reviews are very spot on so I won't repeat what they say but just add a couple points -

- The on/off handle can be tough to keep squeezed closed as you wrestle your way through difficult snow. I wish it had a "always on" lock switch so you don't have to keep it squeezed as you maneuver it. The problem is that the handle is as thick as a banana and what with gloves on my fingers got tired pretty fast maintaining the tight grip required to keep the trigger squeezed "on". (Squeeze your fingers into a fist right now and hold that tight for a minute and you'll know what I mean.) But of course this is probably a safety feature.

- The snow funnel, which directs where the snow is blown, could also use a lock. As you blow snow directly to the side, the force of the snow gradually twists the funnel to point straight ahead.

But any other thoughts I had about this product instantly vanished when I picked up a regular shovel and remembered how bad that is!!!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
