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


About a week ago we got three inches of snow and this thrower took care of it in no time. Then we got 10" of snow/sleet/freezing rain in Columbus, OH. When I tried the Toro 1800 -- no go. But guess what!! My neighbor's HUGH 8 HP gas blower wouldn't touch it either! The snow mix was so hard, you could walk on it in places without falling through.

My neighbors and I got together (70 year-old male, 68 year-old female, 63 year-old female, and 60 year-old female) (Okay, we had help from one neighbor's 25 year-old son). We chopped the snow into chunks with the end of the shovels, and you should have seen this baby go!! The big old gas blower still wouldn't do it.

Not only did this little Toro take care of the job, it was MUCH easier to maneuver than the 8 HP thing. It only weighs a little over 20 lbs, so even I (63 year-old female) can lift it easily.

Even though we had to chop the stuff up first, it was MUCH MUCH easier than using a shovel alone. We finished 3 driveways and three walkways in just over 2 hours. This baby is a gem

I LOVE THIS THING.

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.
