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


I love this little machine. The cord can be a little annoying but much less so than gas, oil, spark plugs, tune-ups, etc.
Light enough that even a weakling can carry this up and down stairs.
Throws snow a good distance and scrapes right down to the pavement.
Easily went through the 12 inches of snow in my walkway although you might have to backup and then go forward a few times to get all the snow at that depth since it is rated for 10 inches or less.
It beats shoveling by a country mile!
When I first got it, I was unimpressed with the flimsy seeming rear wheels but they work fine. The housing is plastic, not metal but the benefit is a lightweight easy to handle unit.
This is NOT a heavy duty machine but for what I use it for it is perfect.
I use it to blow the deck, the walkway between the house and the driveway and to make a path through the snow in the backyard for the dog to do his business.
A great machine!
I live in Central Maine and get quite a bit of snow and would have no problem using this to do the driveway if I needed to but since the plow guy does it for me at no cost (we have a barter arrangement), it's not an issue.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

I used it for the first time last night and found it to work very well and I definitely recommend it, especially for situations where you don't want to store a massive gas blower for just one or two storms a year. The other reviews are very spot on so I won't repeat what they say but just add a couple points -

- The on/off handle can be tough to keep squeezed closed as you wrestle your way through difficult snow. I wish it had a "always on" lock switch so you don't have to keep it squeezed as you maneuver it. The problem is that the handle is as thick as a banana and what with gloves on my fingers got tired pretty fast maintaining the tight grip required to keep the trigger squeezed "on". (Squeeze your fingers into a fist right now and hold that tight for a minute and you'll know what I mean.) But of course this is probably a safety feature.

- The snow funnel, which directs where the snow is blown, could also use a lock. As you blow snow directly to the side, the force of the snow gradually twists the funnel to point straight ahead.

But any other thoughts I had about this product instantly vanished when I picked up a regular shovel and remembered how bad that is!!!Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
