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

I've owned one of these for 10 years. So far I've had to replace the switch in the handle and the blade. Both of these I replaced myself without a problem. Otherwise the machine has been perfect. I live in northern Vermont and have a 100 foot driveway so the machine gets a fair amount of use. I also use it to clear paths to the front door, woodpile and compost pile.

I doesn't have the strength to handle frozen slush but anthing else it handles just fine. Deep snow, more than a foot, may require that you lift the machine up to shave off a layer before you can clear down to the ground. Fortunately, it's light enough to do this with. I even use it to clear the snow thrown up by the plow at the end of the driveway. In last week's 30 inch snowfall it worked fine although it took multiple passes.

Getting a flexible-when-cold, heavy gauge (rated for 12 Amps) extension cord for this would be a good idea. Clearing wet snow or slush from around the chute after you use it helps prevent feeze-up.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.

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

We have bought at 4 gas snowthrowers, including one that was stolen out of garage. All had the same problem - we were reluctant to put gas and oil in the machine because we weren't sure we'd be getting any snowfall in the Chicago winters. So about 6" would fall and we'd wonder how to get to the gas station and mix it with the oil. Using the gas snowblower meant blasting gas fumes all over the neighborhood and having your clothes reeking. Then there was the problem of how to dispose of the leftover gas at the end of winter. It got to the point that an expensive gas snowblower was sitting in our basement ever year because my husband just didn't want to deal with the gasoline issues.
After the latest several inch snowfall I asked him about getting a Toro electric and he told me to go ahead and order it. It arrived in three days and we are thrilled with it. It's light and blows the snow down to the pavement. The cord is the only hassle, yet we'd never want to go back to the gasoline throwers again.Get more detail about Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025.
