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


Bought this little machine a few months ago, had our first few snow falls this month. Worked great for a couple of inches, our first "major" accumulation was about 6 inches, did not work that great ... not enough power. You have to make multiple runs to get the job done. Although you get better with practice. Also it does not throw snow 30 ft, perhaps 15. Works best when the snow is powdery. Overall I would recommend for small areas, but if you have a long driveway etc get something with more power and wider clearance

Pros
Light weight.
Inexpensive
Great for sidewalks or small driveways
No complicated starter system like the gas monsters
Fairly simple and easy to use, no maintenance

Cons
Does not come fully assembled, and not that easy to put together.
Does not work that well in "heavy" or "slushy" snow
Keeps getting clogged
The electric cable is a real pain; you need to practice to get effective at using it

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


First of all, this item shipped the SAME afternoon I bought it AND it was at my door the very next day without any expedited shipping charges! Awesome!!

My little Toro got his first test this morning and he passed with flying colors. He blew thru six inches of snow with ease even clearing the end of the driveway where the snowplow had left a pile for me. A guy who offered to plow me out for an exorbitant fee drove by around the time I was finishing. I just smiled, waved, and mumbled "keep right on going". I actually look forward to the snow now- bring it on! Ha! Ha!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
