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


I live in upstate NY, and I pay to have my driveway cleared professionally. I bought the Toro 1800 Power Curve just to clear the sidewalks and patio. It works amazingly well for that task. My only criticism--and it's a serious one for me--is that the handle is much too low. I'm only 6' tall, but I have to bend over almost 90 degrees to operate the thing properly. Bending over so far while walking is very hard on my back, so I put the Toro in the garage and went back to a shovel and broom. I'll probably try to sell it on eBay, making clear that bidders should be under about 5'4". An adjustable-height handle would have made this a perfect light-duty snow blower.

I was always the last guy to get his driveway clean after a snow, if I even did it at all. Well all that has changed now. I got up this morning to 5 inches of snow and couldn't wait to try out my new Toro.

I went out at 8:30am this morning and before 9am I had my driveway (approx. 20' X 30') and the walk to my front door completely clean to the surface. Before most of my neighbors had even got out of bed I had already finished cleaning away the snow.

I live in Indiana and for the most part we get 5 to 10 inch snowfalls at a time, this machine will have no problem handling that. Maybe, if you live in an area that gets bigger snows you might need a bigger, gas powered thrower. But this thing is so light and easy to use that I would say just about anyone could use it and never have to shovel snow again.

Save your back...Jack, get a Toro.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
