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


It does what it's supposed to do - handle snow up to 10 inches very well. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but it's powerful enough to throw the snow accross my double driveway and into the yard.

We had a record 16 inches of snow here in OH last week, and I was able to remove the snow in 2 passes. It isn't really designed for so much snow, so it took 2 hours to do my 40 foot, 2-car, driveway, or about twice as long as it would have taken for under 10 inches of snow.

I would have given 5-stars, but the handle and wheels are somewhat flimsy. Also, I had to keep re-inserting the crank that controls the direction of the chute - not a big deal, but a little annoying.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

Yesterday we got around 2 inches of solid ice, not snow. I sprinkled it with some ice melt, and went back to work, when i returned, i fired up the Toro for the first time, and it worked perfectly. Took that slush and ice and lobbed it into the yard.

Today we're expecting, (if you trust weather men) somewhere between 2 and 37 inches of snow, who knows, but she'll get her first test on real snow, which i'm sure she'll pass with flying colors.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
