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


I live in the Greater Boston area and got the Toro Powercurve for my driveway. The snow blower is just right for the amount of snow that we get here. For other regions which have more snow, maybe more than the 2 feet that is the normal maximum for this place, a bigger one may be needed.

For upto 2 feet of snow this is good. What I did like is the easy setup, the instant start, long throw distance, the amount of power that is available (for the $$) and the ease of storage.

What is most annoying is the cable getting in the way. Would probably be asking for too much if I asked for a "cordless" blower though. My best advise on this would be to not buy a cable that is longer than your needs. My driveway is pretty short about 40 feet. I made the mistake of buying a 100 feet cable which is totally unnecessary - its a hassle to move the coil of wire around. 40 or 50 feet would have been great.

Things that can be improved:
1) A 30 or 40 foot cable could have been bundled.
2) The wheels are not too good and can be improved. They are almost useless in snow.
3) Could have been a little less heavy. Not that its too heavy; however its heavier than a snow-rake or shovel.

The most difficult part of snow removal is the edge-of-the- driveway-snow-dumped-there-by-the-city-snow-plough. This forms into a hard mass usually mixed with sand, stones and other dirt. This, the Toro does not easily remove. I had to manually shovel this. DO NOT expect the Toro Powercurve to remove this. You need a more powerful blower to remove the hardened snow.

In places with heavier snow, this may be used as a second blower possibly for the deck or sidewalk where carrying the larger behmoths would be difficult.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I live in Northern Virginia, and we don't get a lot of snow...until this year! After the Presidents Day storm I decided to get a snow blower. I was going to get a big gasoline model, but after reading the reviews here I decided to try the Toro. It shipped the same day I ordered it from Amazon, and although the estimate was 5-9 days for shipping, it arrived by UPS in 4 days, just in time for another 5-6 inches. Read all the other reviews, they are all true. The Toro 1800 works great. The only hassle in the cord, but you get use to that. The light weight, not having to worry about gas, maintanence, easy to store, etc. all make up for it being a corded snowblower. I just did my walk and driveway, as well as 5 of my neighbors. Just on the good will I now have, it has paid for itself. Thanks Amazon, Toro and UPS!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
