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

I purchased this thrower from Home Depot for the same price as Amazon, $240. Within 2 days, we were hit with about 10 inches of snow. The machine did very well, it moved through the snow pretty easily. It was a little tough getting through the bigger drifts, but it still managed. The biggest challenge I had was with the shoot. When moving heavier snow, it tends to wander off course. Further more, the tilt mechanism is pretty flimsy. When putting the machine together, I accidentally stripped the inside of the plastic hinge when tightening down one side of the shoot. I'll probably replace one bolt and replace the nuts with wing nuts, so it's easier to tighten the tilt. All things considered, this is a very powerful little thrower and cleans my drive in short order. It could be better made, but I'm still not dissapointed.

I used this snow blower today for the first time and was totally disgusted by its poor performance. Since this snow blower is very light, it glides over the snow and barely picks up any snow to throw. If you want to get rid of the snow, you have to press it down hard with brute force and push real hard while trying to hold the thing down to the ground. The wire gets in the way every step which is a good way to trip yourself over and fall on the hard snow and ice and break you bones. Basically, it is a heavy snow shovel with a thick wire attached to it to trip you over. It is going to give you a heart attack if you want to get rid of any snow on your drive way in front of your garage. Wait. Trying to avoid a heart attack was why I bought a snow blower at the first place. Whoever invented this piece of junk obviously never lived through a New England winter before. I should have gotten a real snow blower. Lessons learned. You get what you pay for and in my case I paid $300 to Amazon and got nothing in return. It really deserves a negative star. Please stay away from this product and save yourselves from heart attacks.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
